Hardware Quality & Sustainment Engineer

Quick Facts

• Focus: electrical sustainment for radar products
• Ownership: primary point of contact for electrical sustainment
• Output: design updates, troubleshooting, and engineering change documentation

Description

Own electrical sustainment for radar products as the primary technical point of contact. Perform RF and embedded electronics design updates, troubleshoot hardware/board issues, and convert non-conformances into manufacturable repair drawings and work instructions. Release ECRs/ECOs based on production feedback, support long-lead/end-of-life component sourcing, and guide manufacturing and quality on build intent and configuration control.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership as the main point of contact for electrical sustainment of radar products
• Update RF and embedded electronics: hardware selection, schematic and PCB updates, drawing updates, and output-file generation
• Troubleshoot system and board issues; translate non-conformance dispositions into manufacturable repair drawings and work instructions
• Author and release Engineering Change Requests/Orders (ECRs/ECOs) to improve drawings and design releases
• Support sourcing teams for long lead and end-of-life components to maintain continuous production
• Provide day-to-day technical guidance to manufacturing and quality on build intent, repair acceptability, and configuration control
• Support multiple sustaining projects across different stages in a fast-paced environment

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• 3+ years experience designing, testing, and sustaining complex board designs and products
• Demonstrated experience with at least 2 of: RF systems and components, Linux-based SoCs, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, power regulation and sequencing
• Experience maintaining PCB design packages (schematics, component selection, layout, drawings, output generation)
• Ability to reverse-engineer existing designs to identify critical component characteristics for alternate-part sustainment and approval
• Ability to troubleshoot existing hardware to find root cause and implement improvements
• Competence with test equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, VNAs; automation of tests
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (written and oral)
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent EDA tools
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) focused on health and recovery
