Electrical Engineer

About The Role

The successful candidate will work semi-independently in a small multi-disciplinary team, utilizing their experience to analyze and design electronics and electrical systems. Developing embedded devices and modules to power, generate, and receive signals for prototypes and field-deployable systems is a critical component of this job. The ability to read, comprehend, and generate professional quality design documentation is a required capability. This position will support the design, development, testing, and operational phases of projects undertaken at PERATON Labs, the research and development arm of PERATON corporation.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing, developing, and testing of experimental and production systems.
• Providing engineering oversight of junior technical staff when appropriate.
• Providing hands-on work to test electronics, diagnose failures, and render repairs if needed.
• Developing and reviewing technical documentation packages including schematics, wiring diagrams, drawings, and test plans.
• Designing and supporting the development of embedded computing and signal processing designs and interfaces.
• Providing expertise in analyzing analog and digital circuitry with both documented and undocumented designs.
• Preparing design review material such as presentations, reports, simulation results, analysis, and other key communicable components for both internal and external design reviews.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering degree.
• Experience generating and reading State Machine, Logic, Flow, and Interconnection Diagrams.
• Experience with Schematic and PCB layout tools such as KiCad.
• Experience with simulation software (e.g., spice).
• Skilled in electrical circuit testing and analysis including prototyping sub-systems.
• Experience creating electrical sub-systems and prototypes for field-deployable systems using fully customized designs or adapter modules.
• Familiarity with lab/bench hardware such as oscilloscopes, power supplies (AC and DC), waveform generators, and spectrum analyzers.
• Ability to communicate designs through presentations and comfortable presenting material for review to a wide audience.
• Familiar with C, C++, Python, or MATLAB + Simulink for automating data collection and analysis.
• Experience working with analog data acquisition and signal conditioning techniques.
• Experience with designing and troubleshooting cabling and interconnectivity.
• Proficient in writing technical documentation in MS Word and PowerPoint.
• Ability to be onsite five days a week when required.
• Ability to obtain Secret clearance.
• U.S. Citizenship.

Qualifications

• BS with 5 or more years of experience.
• MS with 3 or more years of experience.
• PhD with 0 or more years of experience.

(Experience must be with relevant work in a professional setting)

Desired Skills/Attributes

• Experience with mechanical or optical engineering.
• Experience with in-depth analysis of electrical systems for reverse engineering.
• Experience with using version control and configuration management.
