Full Job Description
The Opportunity:
We are seeking a skilled and experienced senior electrical engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electrical system for Safran products. The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in electrical engineering, PCB and circuit design, and is comfortable working across different electrical engineering focus areas. This role provides opportunities to work through more focused areas in analog, digital, and RF design. As such, this role requires an understanding of electric components, circuit design, and PCB layout, as well as proficiency in industry-standard software and tools. The engineer will work through the full hardware development lifecycle: from concept, schematic capture, and layout review to hardware integration and system validation.
How I will Contribute:
Design, development, build and test PCB prototypes, conduct debugging and troubleshooting to identify and resolve issues. Lead smaller projects related to large scale design efforts.
Design, develop and test electrical hardware systems and components for electrical systems
Support system-level analysis for performance, including impedance matching, isolation, noise figure, and signal chain integrity
Design, simulate, and validate electrical and RF circuits including power supply designs, filters, amplifiers, and digital interfaces
Develop and maintain electrical component and hardware specifications and design documentation
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers and manufacturing, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products
Work with a cross-functional team of engineers, providing technical leadership across projects
Collaborate on schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection ensuring best practices for both RF and/or mixed-signal performance.
Develop and execute test plans and procedures to ensure the quality and reliability of electrical hardware systems and components
Create and maintain detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout files, BOMs (Bill of materials) and test plans.
Ensure designs comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, including MIL-STD, EMI/EMC and safety standards
Develop and maintain relationships with vendors and suppliers to ensure the availability of materials and components
Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure the successful transition of electrical hardware designs to production.
Stay updated with the latest advancements in PCB design, materials and manufacturing processes to continuously improve product quality and efficiency
What You Bring to the role:
4+ years with A Bachelor's, or 2+ years with a Master's degree, in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
Experience in RF and/or electrical hardware design and validation
Hands-on experience in PCB and board layout
Proficiency in electrical hardware design tools, such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD
Understanding of PCB layout best practices, including high-speed design, EMI/EM considerations, thermal management, RF isolation, and manufacturability
Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as FCC, EL, CE, and MIL-STD testing
Strong understanding of analog, digital, RF, and/or power supply circuit design
Proven ability to work across engineering domains
Experience with high-speed PCB design and signal integrity analysis is a plus
Knowledge of manufacturing processes, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles
Documented active US Government Security Clearance at the Secret level or higher highly preferred.
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Positive attitude and ability to engage and influence
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines
Some of the Good Stuff:
