- Lead the design, analysis, and definition of system architectures at the integrated circuit (IC) selection, PCB, and subsystem level.
- Apply deep experience in radiation effects on electronics to architect robust systems for space and other harsh environments.
- Define system-level trade studies, partitioning, and performance optimization for advanced mixed-signal, digital, and RF assemblies.
- Ensure designs meet all qualification, reliability, and manufacturability requirements consistent with aerospace-grade standards.
- Drive design-for-reliability and design-for-testability strategies across the product life cycle.
- Lead product definition and strategic product ideation aligned with Teledyne’s technology roadmaps.
