Digital and Analog Electronics Design Engineer III-IV
Duration: Full Time
Location: Hampton, VA, 23663
Experience (Years): 7 (Min) - 10 (Max)
Job Description
We have partnered with defense and aerospace product technology manufacturing company in the Hampton, VA area to provide them with a Digital & Analog Electronics Design Engineer.
Prioritized Must Have Skills:
#1. Bachelors Degree or higher in Engineering.
#2. Senior-level Engineer (7 years min.).
#3. Experience working in teams for the formulation, design, development, modification, implementation, calibration, and field deployment of difficult electronic measurement and instrumentation systems or other ground systems, or subsystems for laboratory, aero, or space flight systems, electronics analog/digital design engineering.
#4. LiDAR sensors
#5. Experience with Altium EDA tools, VHDL, C/C++, Python, SPICE/PSPICE, and the Xilinx Vivado tool suite
Responsibilities:
The primary purpose of this position is to serve as a digital and analog electronics engineer and provide electronics design and development efforts for second generation LiDAR to support defense and space contracts as well as the fast-moving autonomous vehicle sector. Projects will include lab demonstrations, field measurement campaigns, and prototypes to be supplied to potential customers for testing in their systems. Work requires high-speed digital electronics board and system-level design including the development of systems that incorporate microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory systems, complex interfaces, and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). Designs must perform under stringent aviation and space environmental conditions. Highly-integrated sensors and supporting electronics will be necessary to achieve high performance requirements for our alpha and beta demonstration units. This newly developed LiDAR and improved signal processing systems will result in a far-reaching impact in the field of autonomous vehicles. The work involves analyzing, designing, simulating, fabricating, testing, and conducting performance validation and verification of electronic data processing, controls, and instrumentation systems. Fast turnaround and reliable board design are critical. These will be used for detecting, recording, measuring, or controlling physical conditions, phenomena, and environments encountered in automotive, aeronautical and aerospace development programs. Design and test advanced digital circuits that include microprocessors, memory systems, complex interfaces, microcontrollers, programmable logic devices, and field programmable gate arrays.
