Description:
You will be the Senior Circuit Design Engineer for the Command Launch Assembly (CLA) Carrier Card Assembly (CCA) team within Missiles & Fire Control (MFC). Our team delivers the high performance electronic hardware that powers the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI) and other precision engagement systems for the United States and allied forces.
What You Will Be Doing
As the Senior Circuit Design Engineer you will own the end to end design of the CCA, translating system requirements into reliable, production ready circuit cards that power, communicate with, and integrate into the launcher's subsystems. You will work hand in hand with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers, perform verification and validation, and ensure every design meets rigorous power conditioning, signal integrity, and environmental standards. Your responsibilities will include:
• Defining performance, power, and interface requirements for the CCA and documenting them in clear, traceable specifications.
• Creating schematic capture, PCB layout, and bill of materials (BOM) using industry standard tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence).
• Conducting simulation, signal integrity, and power analysis studies to validate design choices early in the development cycle.
• Building and testing prototype hardware in the lab, troubleshooting issues, and iterating designs to meet V&V milestones.
• Coordinating with mechanical and systems teams to ensure seamless integration with launcher subsystems and compliance with SWaP C constraints.
• Preparing and delivering technical briefings, design reviews, and status updates for senior engineering, program management, and customers.
• Managing configuration control, documentation, and change requests in the PLM system to maintain a robust, audit ready design history.
• Supporting environmental qualification (vibration, shock, thermal, radiation) and analyzing results to drive design improvements
Basic Qualifications :
• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related STEM field from an accredited university
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in circuit design engineering or a related discipline
• Demonstrated experience with circuit card design, integration, and test for one or more of the following: digital electronics, power electronics, analog/mixed-signal, or FPGA-based processor boards
• Experience with Siemens Xpedition Enterprise or equivalent for schematic capture
• Experience with Cadence PSpice or equivalent for circuit simulation and analysis
• Experience with signal integrity tools such as Mentor Graphics Hyperlynx or equivalent
• Experience with developing and refining system, performance, interface, and environmental requirements for circuit card designs
• Must be a US Citizen; must possess or be able to obtain a DoD Secret security clearance
Desired skills :
• Experience with MFC circuit card design processes and the Design Assurance process
• Experience with military standards and specifications, including MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-704
• Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGA families (UltraScale, Versal)
• High-speed design experience including PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, SERDES, or DDR4/5 memory interfaces
• MATLAB experience for analysis and simulation
• Experience with MOSA (Modular Open Systems Architecture) and WOSA (Weapon Open Systems Architecture)
• Experience with CAMEO or equivalent requirements management tools
• Experience with rigidflex circuit card design
• Experience with environmental qualification testing (vibration, shock, thermal, radiation)
• Demonstrated effective communication skills
• Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance
Core days in office: Tuesday and Wednesday. Flex WFH days Monday or Thursday. Dependent on program needs. Required 3 days a week on site.
