Job Title: Remote Senior Electrical Engineer


Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with a strong background in mixed signal electronic design to join our engineering team in developing cutting-edge systems for the defense sector. This role requires deep technical expertise in analog and digital circuit design, systems integration, and a passion for delivering mission-critical hardware solutions in a fast-paced, high-security environment. Our client provides solutions to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Aerospace markets across various disciplines. The Defense division currently provides products and services across four product lines: Advanced Systems, RF Front Ends, Mixed Signal and Digital Solutions.


Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and validate mixed signal circuits, including analog front ends, ADC/DAC interfaces, power management, and digital logic.
  • Lead circuit and system-level design reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior engineers.
  • Perform simulation, analysis, and verification using tools such as AWR, SPICE, MATLAB, and other industry-standard EDA software, including performing RF chain analysis.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, software, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless product integration.
  • Generate detailed design documentation including schematics, BOMs, test plans, and design justifications for compliance and audits.
  • Support prototype development, bring-up, and hardware debugging in lab environments.
  • Ensure designs meet defense standards for EMI/EMC, thermal, and reliability performance.
  • Participate in proposal writing, technical planning, and customer presentations.

Essential Skills

  • 15+ years of experience in mixed signal electronic design, preferably in defense, aerospace, or similar regulated industries.
  • Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, the person, Mentor Graphics).
  • Strong knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, and high-speed digital design principles.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and project leadership skills.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.).
  • US Citizenship & ability to obtain a DoD Security Clearance.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience with defense-grade components, environmental qualification (MIL-STD-810), and reliability analysis a plus.
  • Familiarity with DoD standards, export control (ITAR/EAR), and secure hardware design practices a plus.
  • Knowledge of FPGA/SoC interfaces, embedded systems, or firmware development is a plus.

Work Environment

The work environment is dynamic and high-security, focused on the defense sector. The position involves working with advanced technologies and equipment, ensuring adherence to defense standards. Collaborative work with cross-functional teams is essential, and the dress code is professional.

Compensation:$96.15
