Full Job Description

WGS Systems, a leading innovator in communications and defense industries, is looking to expand our technical team. We are seeking an early-career multidisciplinary engineer to support product development across electronics design, hardware integration, and software development. This hybrid role offers unique exposure to both hardware and software disciplines, ideal for someone who enjoys variety and wants to build broad systems engineering capabilities in the defense/aerospace sector.

You’ll contribute approximately 50% of your time to electronics engineering tasks (circuit design, PCB layout, hardware debugging, sensor integration) and 50% to software development (embedded systems, firmware development, data acquisition, and analytics infrastructure support). You’ll work at the intersection of sensor hardware and data science, ensuring our RF and electronic systems function reliably while collecting high-quality data that integrates seamlessly with our analytics platform.

Electronics Engineering (50%):

Design and develop analog and digital circuits, power distribution systems, and signal conditioning for RF sensor platforms
Create PCB layouts and schematics using tools like Altium Designer; manage board bring-up and testing
Integrate commercial RF components, cameras, processors, and sensors into custom electronics assemblies
Debug hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other test equipment
Conduct EMI/EMC testing and design for compliance with MIL-STD-461 and other electromagnetic compatibility standards
Support thermal management design for electronics; coordinate with mechanical team on cooling solutions and packaging
Create and maintain electrical schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation per AS9100 standards
Work with contract manufacturers and PCB fabrication houses to transition designs to production

Software Development (50%):

Develop embedded firmware for microcontrollers and embedded Linux systems controlling RF sensors and data acquisition (C/C++, Python)
Write device drivers and hardware abstraction layers for custom electronics and sensor interfaces
Build data pipelines and ETL processes to ingest sensor data into analytics infrastructure; support integration with commercial datasets
Develop preprocessing and feature extraction algorithms for raw sensor data to support ML model development
Create APIs and communication protocols between embedded systems and cloud analytics platforms; ensure data quality and formatting standards
Implement real-time data processing and streaming for low-latency sensor applications
Develop test automation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing frameworks for electronics validation
Contribute to version control practices (Git), continuous integration, and documentation for firmware deliverables

Cross Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with RF engineers, data scientists, and senior systems engineers to integrate electronics and software subsystems
Partner with data science team to ensure sensor data collection meets analytics requirements; implement data quality checks and validation
Support development of data infrastructure for model training, including data storage, versioning, and retrieval systems
Collaborate with mechanical engineers on enclosure design, thermal management, and electromagnetic shielding requirements
Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), customer demonstrations, and field testing activities
Participate in design reviews, failure analysis, root cause investigations, and continuous product improvement initiatives

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
2-5 years of professional experience in electronics design and embedded software development, preferably in defense, aerospace, or RF systems
U.S. Citizen (required for contract work; ability to obtain USG Security Clearance)
Proficiency in PCB design tools (Altium Designer or similar) with experience designing multi-layer boards
Strong programming skills in C/C++ for embedded systems (required); proficiency in Python for scripting and data processing
Understanding of communication protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, USB, Ethernet, CAN

Preferred Skills:

Active Secret or higher clearance
Experience with RF systems, SDRs (software-defined radios), or SIGINT sensor integration
Familiarity with RF circuit design, matching networks, filters, amplifiers, or antenna integration
Experience with FPGA development (VHDL/Verilog) for signal processing or high-speed data acquisition
Familiarity with power management ICs, battery systems, and low-power design techniques
Experience with Git/version control, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks
Knowledge of cybersecurity and/or anti-tamper principles for embedded systems and secure boot implementations
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS IoT, GCP) and containerization (Docker) for edge computing applications
Background in signal processing, DSP algorithms, or time-series data analysis
Prior work in small team environments where you wore multiple hats
