Job Summary:
The Staff Electrical Engineer is a senior technical contributor within SlingWorks, one of Elbit America's most advanced engineering teams developing next ‑ generation targeting and mission ‑ system technologies. In this role, you will lead complex board ‑ level electrical designs, contribute to system architecture decisions, and drive subsystem ‑ level electrical integration while remaining hands ‑ on throughout the full hardware lifecycle. You will solve challenging engineering problems, guide the development of advanced PCBAs, integrate processors, sensors, and high ‑ speed interfaces, and collaborate closely with other senior engineers to co ‑ develop robust, high ‑ reliability electrical architectures. You will mentor junior engineers, lead design execution on major programs, and ensure the delivery of high ‑ quality, mission ‑ critical hardware.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead the design and development of complex electrical and board ‑ level hardware, including schematic capture, component selection, and interface definition
- Contribute to electrical architecture decisions across digital, analog, mixed ‑ signal, and power domains
- Integrate processors, sensors, high ‑ speed digital interfaces, and support electronics at the subsystem level
- Support and help define FPGA electrical integration strategies (no RTL required)
- Direct PCB layout activities to ensure signal integrity, EMC/EMI robustness, manufacturability, and compliance
- Lead board bring ‑ up, electrical debug, validation, and root ‑ cause analysis in lab environments
- Develop and implement test plans, validation strategies, and debug methodologies for program hardware
- Drive resolution of electrical issues across prototype and low ‑ rate production builds
- Lead electrical design for SWaP ‑ constrained systems, including power distribution, power integrity, efficiency, and thermal considerations
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, and embedded software teams to ensure effective system ‑ level integration
- Participate in architecture reviews, technical trade studies, and design reviews
- Support DFM/DFT approaches and help transition designs from prototype to manufacturing
- Perform and interpret electrical analysis, modeling, and simulation to reduce technical risk
- Provide mentoring, technical guidance, and constructive design reviews for junior and mid ‑ level engineers
- Work collaboratively with other Staff and Senior Staff engineers to ensure cohesive system ‑ level solutions
What Success Looks Like:
- Delivers robust, producible board ‑ level designs with minimal redesign cycles
- Acts as a strong technical mentor and reliable senior contributor within the team
- Demonstrates sound engineering judgment in system ‑ level tradeoffs and design decisions
- Communicates effectively across disciplines and h.
