Job Title: Sr Specialist, Electrical Engineer - Circuit Card Design
Job Code: SAS20230210-106752
Job Location: Palm Bay, FL
Job Description:
Responsible for architecting, designing, developing, modifying, evaluating and integrating electronic equipment, electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for complex, high performance digital hardware systems. Analyzes electrical requirements to determine feasibility of design within time and cost constraints prior to performing the preliminary and detailed phases of the circuit card design lifecycle. Upon completion of the design, expected to support manufacturing prior to performing the testing and formal sell off. Able to support the full lifecycle of the product, including environmental testing, qualification, and production.
Essential Functions:
Leads various design activities for new/existing products, predominantly involving an FPGA or Processor, and numerous high speed interfaces.
Applies complex electrical engineering principles and techniques to lead design, development, documentation, verification, and manufacturing debug activities.
Work is performed without appreciable direction. Exercises considerable latitude in determining technical objectives of assignment.
Analyzes environment/component tolerances to identify corner cases and ensure sufficient design margin for all applicable conditions.
Directly interfaces with members of the product development team to produce high quality/dependable products. Members impacted by electrical design include Mechanical Engineering, Test Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Systems Engineering, Safety Engineering, Software Engineering, Verification Engineering, other engineering, PWB Design, and Management teams.
Directly interfaces with Component Engineering, Purchasing, and Program Management to formulate effective obsolescence/cost/lead time mitigation solutions.
Completes conceptual designs and trade studies to support marketing/bid/proposal efforts. Draws on extensive product knowledge to define design re-use in potential new products and assess the feasibility of meeting new requirements.
Assists in the evaluation of supplier capabilities to provide products or services. May be involved in generating the SOWs/specifications for subcontracted items and approving third party deliverables (technical input and oversight).
Provides technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems. Performs difficult and complex research and/or development assignments. Decisions and recommendations have a moderate effect on division performance.
Represents the organization as the prime technical contact on contracts and projects. Interacts with senior external personnel on significant technical matters often requiring coordination between organizations.
Develop collaborative relationships with Engineering Managers and Program Leadership to support business demands
Qualifications:
Bachelor's Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related electrical engineering experience.
5+ years experience with circuit card design processes including requirements generation, preliminary design (block diagram generation, long lead part identification), detailed design (schematic generation, simulation, place & route), test plan generation, and integration & test
Experience operating electronics laboratory equipment including: digital multi-meters, oscilloscopes (DSO, Mixed Signal), signal generators, DC power supplies, etc.
Preferred Additional Skills:
Experience leading teams to design Digital CCAs (Technical, Cost, & Schedule)
Experience with signal integrity analysis tools (Hyperlynx preferred)
Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition tool suite
Experience with high speed serial protocols
10/25 Gb Ethernet, PCI Express Gen 2/3, Fibre Channel, among other high speed standards
Experience with high speed memory interfaces
Has the ability to lead teams through conflict, clarify objectives, and develop consensus/buy-in as required.
Experience integrating with firmware/software and leading lab integration activities
Experience with testing and qualification of the deliverable system
