Electrical Engineer

Seeking a highly motivated Electrical and/or Computer Engineer to support the development, integration, testing, and delivery of advanced defense systems for U.S. Department of Defense customers. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems at the intersection of hardware, embedded computing, and system integration.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development and integration of electrical and electronic subsystems, embedded computing platforms, sensor interfaces, and hardware/software solutions.

Responsibilities will include electrical and mechanical design and troubleshooting, embedded systems development, interface integration, system testing, and technical problem-solving across a range of advanced defense applications.

The role will involve working with sensors, cameras, tracking systems, control electronics, processors, and associated hardware and software to ensure reliable operation at both subsystem and system levels.

The engineer will collaborate closely with mechanical and software engineers, program managers, technicians, suppliers, customers, and our UK-based organization to develop solutions and resolve complex integration challenges.

Candidates are not expected to be experts in every discipline. The Company is seeking an engineer with strong technical fundamentals, practical problem-solving skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly.

Experience with signal processing, computer vision, FPGA development, or real-time systems would be advantageous.

This is a hands-on engineering position for a self-starter who takes ownership of technical challenges, works effectively across disciplines, and adapts to evolving program priorities.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to new technology development, customer system integration, and the continued growth of the Company's engineering capability.
