Digital Hardware Engineer

Digital Hardware Engineer 

About the Team:

The STR Sensors Division specializes in the development of advanced sensor systems, with a particular focus on airborne and surface-based radar, space-based sensing, electronic warfare, and underwater acoustics. This position is within the Space Missions and Sensing (SMS) Sector of the Sensors Division.

STR’s Space Missions and Sensing (SMS) Sector’s mission is to develop and apply innovative technology to space-based sensing, space control, and counter-sensing. Within the SMS Sector, the Space and Counter Space (SCS) team is at the forefront in electronic warfare technologies.  Our team strives to bring critical and transformational capabilities to the warfighter through creative ideas and techniques.  To realize the value, the team develops both engineering and operational prototypes to demonstrate capabilities in real world environments. 

We take pride in our ability to address warfighter operational needs. Our core team includes principal investigators, program managers, signal processors, SW developers, FPGA expertise, RF and Electromagnetic engineers, and mechanical design experts.  Our facilities support on site build and test (benchtop, anechoic chamber, and over the air).  We collaborate with a dynamic group of research engineers across STR, academic researchers, and industry partners to develop practical and effective solutions to RF sensing and counter-sensing challenges.

Driven by our strong performance the work is expanding.  We are seeking individuals with program management experience and interest in being part of a system of systems work program encompassing both new capabilities and operational prototype systems. If you're seeking an opportunity to apply your program management skills while contributing to a work program strategic vision, we invite you to join us. 

The Role:

The SMS Sector is seeking a Digital Hardware Engineer.  This role will be supporting engineering development, integration, and demonstration efforts for complex electronic systems.  Candidate will collaborate with a dynamic engineering development team leading system and subsystem prototype efforts for complex digital circuit cards and modules.  The successful candidate must have strong technical aptitude, communication skills and ability to work well across the engineering team. 

 to lead small teams to design, develop, integrate and test novel sensing and counter sensing systems for radar, electronic warfare, and signal processing systems.  This position offers significant opportunities for career growth within a fast-paced and rapidly expanding company.

What you will do:

• Design of complex high speed digital circuit card assemblies across a range of platforms and form factors, including custom boards, test boards, evaluation-kit integration, and COTS system-on-modules (SoMs) integrated into custom carrier boards.
