You will be instrumental in translating strategic Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) into actionable electrical requirements and architecture that will guide the entire product development lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the definition and development of robust, scalable, and maintainable electrical architectures for complex product lines.
• Conducting architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability.
• Bridging the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements and functional modules.
• Allocating functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols.
• Flowing module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture.

Required qualifications include:

• Proven ability to think strategically and define the long-term architectural vision for a product line.
• Deep understanding of various communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, CAN, RS-485, SDI, GMSL, SPI, I2C, PCIe) and their application in complex embedded systems.
• Familiarity with embedded systems hardware, including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, and their architectural implications.
• Experience with full-cycle PCB design.
• Experience with harnessing design and connector selection.
• Successful track record of releasing products to production and delivering to end-users at scale.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills to work across diverse engineering disciplines.
• Ability to obtain or have active DoD Top Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain SCI access.

Desired qualifications include:

• Experience with MIL-STD compliance.
• Utilize and bridge requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler) to ensure traceability and coherence from system-level to electrical requirements.
