Responsible for electrical architecture and system-level design of high-speed digital communication systems for space-ground antenna networks.
Обязанности
- Own the electrical architecture and system-level design for high-speed digital communication systems, defining how RF and mixed-signal designs, complex multi-layer PCBs, and subsystems fit together
- Define system-level architecture for multi-gigabit networking and complex digital power trees, and drive system trades that shape architecture decisions across the product
- Set technical direction and review schematic capture, layout, and bring-up across a variety of digital systems including FPGAs, microcontrollers, and their associated peripherals
- Collaborate across hardware and software teams with RF engineers, antenna engineers, FPGA engineers, and firmware engineers to optimize system performance and overall design
- Guide prototype testing and performance assessment in the lab and in the field, with an eye towards system-level root cause and risk
- Partner with production teams to ensure the overall system architecture supports testable and manufacturable products that we can integrate in-house
Требования
- 5-7+ years of professional experience in electrical design, including experience operating at the system or architecture level
- Proficient in high-density/high-speed design (including FPGAs, high speed data converters, SerDes, 10/100 GigE, networking, JESD204C)
- Proficient in schematic capture and good PCB layout design
- Experience with troubleshooting EMI/EMC, either conducted or radiated
- Knowledge of PCB materials and developing board stack-up definition
- Experience with full product lifecycle (concept through production), including owning architecture-level decisions across that lifecycle
- This position requires successfully obtaining and maintaining a Top Secret Security Clearance as a condition of employment. While the clearance may not be immediately necessary upon hire, we encourage you to initiate the application process promptly upon accepting this offer. Your ability to secure the necessary clearance is essential for fulfilling key responsibilities of the role. Should you be unable to obtain it, reserves the right to modify or terminate your employment to align with operational needs.
