Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 8, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 21, 2026.
Join Array, a leading company in the aerospace industry, as a Principal Electrical Design Engineer. In this role, you will design and validate digital and mixed-signal electronics for radar payloads and satellite platforms. You will work closely with various engineering teams and take hardware through design, prototyping, bring-up, and qualification. Your work will directly impact system performance, power efficiency, stability, and overall reliability in orbit.
Missions
- Design and validate digital and mixed-signal electronics for radar payloads and satellite platforms.
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns for electronic designs.
- Provide technical leadership through design reviews, risk reduction planning, and mentorship of early-career engineers.
Profil recherché
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 15+ years of relevant experience
- Experience in electronics design, bring-up, and test
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on experience with full-life cycle hardware development (concept to production) in consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics
- Background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, fabrication considerations, layout constraints, component selection, and measurement
- Background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as S-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matching
- Hands-on experience designing high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
