Summary:

As an Electrical Engineer specializing in Mixed-Signal and FPGA Systems, you are responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and integration of rugged embedded hardware products within NAI's Configurable Open Systems Architecture (COSA) platform. Your work directly supports mission-critical aerospace, defense, and industrial applications by delivering robust, deterministic solutions that bridge analog and digital domains. This role offers a technical career growth path with the opportunity to advance into a Principal Design Engineer position. Engineers who excel in this role often take on ownership of COSA product families, contribute to system-level architectural decisions, and play a key role in early-stage R&D. It's an ideal fit for those who thrive on solving complex hardware challenges and want to deepen their impact through technical expertise.

Requirements

• Design and review schematics for embedded mixed-signal circuit boards used in rugged, high-reliability environments.
• Own product-level power architectures, including power sequencing, current budgeting, protection circuitry, and thermal design.
• Develop and debug analog, discrete, and high-speed differential interfaces (e.g., ADCs, signal conditioning, RS-422/485, Ethernet, video).
• Implement VHDL-based control logic to manage hardware behavior with deterministic timing and precision.
• Conduct board-level hardware bring-up and validation using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, function generators).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers in motor control, power electronics, signal processing, and embedded systems.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) efforts for COSA platforms through early-stage R&D and system integration.
• Participate in peer design reviews and ensure compliance with NAI's quality, safety, and environmental standards.
• Candidates must be a U.S. Person, defined as either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), and must be able to provide appropriate documentation upon hire to verify this status. Please note that some positions involve sensitive customer contracts and require U.S. citizenship as a condition of employment.

Qualifications and Education requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred).
• 3-7 years of experience in mixed-signal hardware development for embedded systems.
• Proficient in schematic capture and PCB design tools (OrCAD or equivalent).
• Hands-on experience with FPGA development using VHDL in real-time control systems.
• Solid understanding of analog and digital signal interfacing techniques.
• Experience designing and analyzing power systems including regulators and sequencing. · Capable of hands-on hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and validation in a lab environment. · Familiarity with simulation and design tools such as Vivado and LTSpice.

Preferred Skills and Abilities:

• Background in designing systems for aerospace, military, or industrial environments.
• Prior experience with motor drives, power supplies, or rugged instrumentation.
• Knowledge of deterministic system design and hard real-time control.
• Ability to work independently and drive technical ownership from concept through production.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail in signal behavior and timing.
