Role: Electrical Engineer (Digital Hardware Design)Location: Rochester, New YorkType: FTE/PermanentJob Schedule: 9/80: Employees work 9 out of every 14 days – totaling 80 hours worked – and have every other Friday offJob Description:
- Join our team as a Digital Hardware Engineer and play a critical role in advancing the next generation of embedded digital hardware supporting the company's Software Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories.
- Reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager, you will take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle—from conceptualizing high-level requirements to seeing your designs move through manufacturing and into the field.
- This is an opportunity to solve complex integration challenges within a cross-functional environment, ensuring our communication systems meet the highest performance standards.
- High-Speed Digital Protocols: Comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet.
- Design Simulation & Analysis: Proficient use of simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling.
- Advanced Architecture & PCB Design: Proven ability to lead the full design cycle—including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/DxDesigner), and complex high-speed layout analysis.
- Verification & Validation (V&V): Expertise in executing subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to identify and resolve critical hardware defects.
- Compliance & Reliability Engineering: Experience designing for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhering to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments.
- Security Clearance Eligibility: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.
- Education: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field.
- Experience: 6+ years of relevant experience (4+ with a Master's degree) or 10+ years of experience in Digital Design in lieu of a degree.
- Specialized Knowledge: Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL, and configuration management tools like Agile.
- SDR & RF Architecture Mastery: A nuanced understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and the interaction between digital boards and RF circuitry.
- Hardware-Software Integration: Experience using embedded software, scripting (e.g., Python), or VHDL to automate design analysis and facilitate rapid troubleshooting.
- Configuration & Lifecycle Management: Proficiency with Agile PLM software to manage product data and streamline manufacturing introduction.
- Diagnostic Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs where physical probe access is limited.
- Systems Thinking: The ability to visualize cross-disciplinary impacts, such as how digital design choices affect thermal management or software latency.
