Job Title: Scientist, Electrical Engineer

Job Code: 45408

Job Location: Yorba Linda, CA.

Work Schedule: 4/10 Employees work 10 hour days, 4 days a week

Job Description:

As a Scientist Electrical Engineer, the candidate must have experience with FPGA Design, able to work from customer requirements to derive additional requirements, define the architecture of a possible solution based on requirements, setup a requirements schema & link requirements to documents (systems/subsystem specification, hardware/FPGA, ASIC architecture description document, etc.) and flow down applicable requirements to other groups (software, ASIC, & test) so that they can contribute to realize the end solution based on the proposed architecture. The Scientist, Electrical Engineer will also oversee the development a qualification test plan that will ensure that the architecture and solution satisfy the customers’ requirements. The Scientist EE will also work with subject matter experts in the areas of GPS signal processing, anti-jam signal processing, other hardware design team members, control software, and government qualification standards. As a Scientist EE, the candidate is expected to understand each aspect of the technology used in the proposed solution. One must work with the cost account manager, program management, and project management to develop the solution within the program’s budget and schedule.

Essential Functions:

Requires comprehensive level knowledge of FPGA, ASIC and Digital circuit design, including direct experience with UVM/System Verilog driven simulation and Palladium-based emulation.

Experience with RF systems, ideally GPS receivers

Able to contribute to providing innovative Electrical Engineering solutions consistent with business development plans.

Ability to develop circuit designs, requirements, design descriptions, verification plans/procedures, customer CDRLs to meet program schedules.

Ability to support cross functional teams for cross functional conflict resolution, Root Cause Analysis, blank page architecture developments and design

Ability to contribute to algorithm development, analysis, implementation, system architecture, verification, and Test with emphasis on military GPS electronics.

Ability to contribute to execution of design, build, integration and test activities, problem resolution and verifying that the deliverable products meet all program and customer requirements.

Ability to provide project management reports as required, support senior level and customer reviews as necessary.

Ability to provide inputs and reviews of the engineering technical baseline as part of proposal efforts.

Ability to interface with the program’s leadership and other teams (SW, Systems, ME, and Test) on a frequent basis, conduct or participate in customer and/or program technical review presentations, and provide progress status updates on work products.

Ability to participate or lead in the product development process including design reviews.

5 to 10% Travel required.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience, or Graduate Degree and a minimum of 7 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 13 years of prior related experience.

5+ years’ experience in multi-processor system FPGA/ASIC development from RTL design through structural netlist timing closure including CDC and UPF.

5+ years’ experience in schematics design capture and PCBA Layout using modern EE CAD such as Altium or Mentor Graphics.

5+ years’ experience with project management and product design team leadership guided by individual annual goals and objectives with minimal oversight or direction; working in a team environment as an individual contributor.

6+ years’ strong experience with receiver, Antenna, or Radio design (i.e. RF).

4+ years’ experience with embedded Hardware design.

2+ years’ experience with FPGA design with emphasis in digital signal processing (DSP).

4+ years’ experience demonstrating strong verbal and written skills.

7+ Years experience with design tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, P-Spice, Agilent ADS (or AWR), Schematics Capturing/PCBA Layout tools such as Altium, and Ansys HFSS. 2+ Years’ experience with FPGA design tools such as Xilinx ISE, Xilinx EDK, and ModelSim. Active Secret Security Clearance.
