Design Advanced Digital Hardware from Concept Through Integration

We are seeking an experienced Senior Digital Hardware Design Engineer to relocate to Tucson, Arizona, and support the development of advanced electronic hardware for missile applications.

This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle circuit card design position. It is not limited to FPGA coding or verification. The selected engineer will take processor- and FPGA-based digital hardware from requirements and initial architecture through schematic capture, PCB implementation, laboratory checkout, integration, and transition into production.

The ideal candidate has successfully designed complex, multilayer circuit card assemblies containing processors, FPGAs, memory, and high-speed or industry-standard interfaces.

What You Will Do

Develop complex digital electronic modules and circuit card assemblies for advanced missile systems

Translate system requirements and design concepts into board-level architecture and detailed hardware designs

Create block diagrams, interface definitions, design requirements, and supporting technical documentation

Perform component selection, trade studies, and engineering analysis

Design processor- and FPGA-based circuit cards containing memory and multiple digital interfaces

Perform schematic capture using industry-standard electronic design automation tools

Support PCB component placement, routing, stack-up development, and application of design constraints

Analyze and simulate designs before hardware fabrication

Collaborate with PCB layout, FPGA, software, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering teams

Develop hardware verification procedures and laboratory test plans

Required Qualifications

Active U.S. government-issued Secret security clearance (REQUIRES US Citizenship)

Minimum of 8 years of experience developing and designing electronic circuits, circuit card assemblies, or multi-assembly electronic systems

Demonstrated ability to take a hardware design from requirements or block-diagram level through completed design, test, and integration

Hands-on experience designing complex processors and FPGA-based digital hardware

Experience with circuit card or PCB design processes, including:

Board-level architecture

Component and parts selection

Schematic capture

PCB layout coordination

Design constraints

Design analysis or simulation

Hardware bring-up

Laboratory integration and troubleshooting

Experience designing complex, multilayer circuit card assemblies

Experience working with processors, FPGAs, memory devices, and digital interfaces

Knowledge of interfaces such as:

PCIe

Ethernet

I2C

SPI

UART

Experience developing test plans and verifying hardware using laboratory equipment

Preferred Qualifications

Experience developing electronics for missiles, avionics, radar, electronic warfare, space, or other defense applications

Experience supporting hardware from new-product development through qualification and production

Familiarity with FPGA or embedded-software development

Experience working with FPGA technologies from Xilinx/AMD, Intel/Altera, Microchip/Microsemi, or similar manufacturers

Experience with high-speed digital interfaces, memory architecture, SerDes, or DDR

Knowledge of signal-integrity, power-integrity, or timing analysis

Experience with Cadence, OrCAD, Altium, Mentor Graphics, Xpedition, or comparable schematic and PCB design tools

Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, JTAG tools, or boundary-scan equipment

Experience supporting component obsolescence, failure analysis, environmental qualification, or production troubleshooting

Required Education

Bachelor's degree (or Higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM discipline

An

ACTIVE U.S.

Government Security Clearance is Required to be considered for this role.
