You are designing the electronics that transform microscopic physical phenomena into precise navigation data. As an Analog Electronics Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development of a proprietary Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) targeting navigation-grade performance. This is not a conventional electronics role. You will work at the limits of analog design, creating ultra-low-noise circuitry capable of extracting signals measured in nanoamperes while managing complex interactions between sensing and drive electronics. Your work will directly influence the performance, accuracy, and reliability of next-generation aerospace systems.\nAt Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign, simulate, and develop ultra-low-noise analog front-end electronics, including charge-sensitive amplifiers and transimpedance amplifiers optimized for capacitive sensing applications\nCreate advanced PCB architectures focused on shielding, isolation, impedance control, and parasitic capacitance suppression to achieve exceptional signal integrity\nDevelop solutions to eliminate capacitive crosstalk between high-voltage drive circuits and ultra-sensitive sensing channels using techniques such as active guard rings and advanced grounding strategies\nSelect, integrate, and validate high-resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters and high-speed Digital-to-Analog Converters for precision measurement systems\nDesign and implement clock generation and distribution architectures with extremely low drift, jitter, and phase noise characteristics\nCollaborate closely with mechanical, sensor, and FPGA engineers to optimize system-level performance and ensure seamless integration across disciplines\nBuild, test, debug, and characterize prototype hardware using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators\nAnalyze system performance, identify noise sources, and continuously improve circuit designs to meet demanding navigation-grade requirements\nRequirements\nWhat You'll Need\nBachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with strong focus on precision instrumentation and low-noise electronics\nAt least 5 years of experience designing ultra-low-noise and low-signal-level analog electronics\nStrong understanding of thermal EMF management, leakage currents, grounding strategies, shielding techniques, and precision measurement systems\nExpertise in multi-layer PCB design and layout with demonstrated experience in impedance control, shielding, and parasitic effect mitigation\nDeep knowledge of precision operational amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, low-noise voltage regulators, and high-performance data converters\nHands-on experience with SPICE-based simulation tools and analog circuit modeling\nStrong laboratory debugging and validation skills\nNice to have\n\nExperience developing electronics for MEMS sensors, inertial sensors, atomic clocks, or scientific instrumentation\nExperience working on aerospace, defense, or harsh-environment electronic systems\nFamiliarity with digital communication interfaces such as SPI and parallel buses\nUnderstanding of FPGA and microcontroller integration in mixed-signal systems\nWho You Are\nYou are someone who thrives when working at the edge of what is technically possible. You enjoy solving complex physical problems where success depends on attention to detail, deep technical expertise, and relentless curiosity. You are comfortable working across disciplines, collaborating with physicists, mechanical engineers, and FPGA developers to solve challenging system-level problems. When others see noise, drift, and interference as obstacles, you see engineering challenges waiting to be solved. You take ownership of your work, approach problems methodically, and are motivated by building technology that pushes aerospace navigation performance to new levels.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4441,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military","Missiles","Air Defense"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-15T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.416,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":124,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/destinus-analog-electronics-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/destinus-analog-electronics-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T20:58:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5330,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4830},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4830"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdestinus-analog-electronics-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdestinus-analog-electronics-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdestinus-analog-electronics-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/destinus-analog-electronics-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdestinus-analog-electronics-engineer"}]}
