Develop high-speed digital architectures involving PCIe and multi-Gigabit Ethernet
Take technical ownership of complex hardware programs from architecture and design through board bring-up, validation, and production release
Collaborate with experienced hardware, FPGA, software, systems, product management, manufacturing, and program teams
Have the opportunity to influence product architecture, engineering processes, emerging technologies, and best practices
Join a Huntsville engineering organization working on technology where performance, reliability, and ruggedization are critical
They Value and Appreciate Their Employees
This is an opportunity to join an engineering-driven organization where senior engineers are trusted with significant technical ownership and are encouraged to bring forward new ideas and approaches.
