The position is full-time and on-site in Canonsburg, PA, supporting work that spans RF/digital/analog PCB development, product performance optimization, and engineering documentation. Due to government contracts, US citizenship is required.

What you will do

• Design and develop state-of-the-art multi-layer circuit boards integrating Radio Frequency (RF), digital, and analog components.
• Apply high-level skills in circuit design and schematic capture for densely populated builds.
• Use front-end knowledge including filtering and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) implementation and integration into an end-to-end integrated product.
• Support hardware development and production across current electromagnetic sensing, spectroscopy, and signature assessment projects.
• Lead fabrication and production of new hardware designs that enable new features in the product suite.
• Coordinate PCB hardware development through design reviews, schematic reviews, and layout reviews.
• Manage power supply design and monitor power distribution for reliable performance.
• Collaborate with Project Managers to keep work within scope, budget, and on time while meeting performance requirements.
• Generate and maintain engineering documentation including assembly drawings and test procedures.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize application performance.
• Act as Principal Investigator (PI) for proposal writing to win future R&D efforts and support funding contribution presentations.
• Present R&D proposals for funding and contribute to funding presentations.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (or related discipline). Master’s preferred. 7+ years experience anticipated.
• Experience with multi-layer, highly integrated, densely populated PCB builds, design, and root cause analysis.
• Knowledge and experience with embedded systems programming (microprocessor, FPGA, CPLD).
• Comfort and aptitude in analog and digital circuit design.
• Experience with electronic testing and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with coding such as C, C++, VHDL and other code that may be instantiated into designs.
