Full Job Description

Lead Electrical Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior to Principal Electrical Engineer to lead the custom, ground-up design of advanced hardware systems as they transition from prototype to manufacturable, production-ready platforms. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who takes full ownership of designs, thrives in fast-moving environments, and can drive complex hardware efforts from concept through execution. The position supports international defense and security partnerships with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Responsibilities

Lead custom electrical system architecture and design, transforming prototype hardware into production-ready solutions.
Own end-to-end board design, including schematic capture, component selection, and design trade studies.
Redesign COTS-heavy subsystems into bespoke hardware architectures tailored to system, performance, and manufacturing requirements.
Drive from-scratch PCB designs, including stack-up definition, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC performance.
Design and analyze high-power electronics, including AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC conversion architectures.
Lead board debugging, validation, and design iteration in support of manufacturing readiness.
Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions, with a strong bias toward custom solutions where performance, integration, or scale demand it.
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and program leadership teams.
Establish and uphold engineering best practices, design standards, and technical rigor.
Serve as a trusted technical leader capable of driving hardware programs to completion.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
15+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience.
Experience leading deeply custom electrical designs.
Full ownership of schematic design for complex digital, power, and mixed-signal boards.
Experience with FPGA-based systems, ideally using Xilinx architectures.
Strong understanding of PCB stack-ups, signal integrity, and power integrity.
Expertise in power electronics, including buck, boost, and LDO regulators.
Experience with AC-to-DC power conversion with wide-range inputs and high-power outputs.
Working knowledge of EMI/EMC standards and mitigation techniques.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience designing systems where digital electronics interface with RF components.
Ability to design for regulated, ruggedized, or production environments.
Experience in defense, aerospace, ISR, sensors, satcom, or advanced R&D organizations.
Background in environments where rapid prototypes are matured into manufactured systems.
Experience with high-reliability electronics, custom power architectures, or mission-critical hardware.
Prior work in highly technical, execution-driven engineering cultures.

Work Environment

Work is conducted Monday through Friday on-site in Sterling. The role involves developing cutting-edge cUAS systems for military and state/local police departments, contributing to safety at major events such as the World Cup and 2028 LA Olympics, and supporting drone counter-efforts.
