Key Responsibilities
- Design s interface boards (TIBs) for board-level functional, environmental, and performance verification.
- Embed design-for-s (DFT) requirements into the board design process from schematic through layout.
- Develop and execute s plans and procedures for EM and QM board-level sing.
- Develop DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report) documentation for each board.
- Perform root-cause analysis and structured debugging when s failures occur.
- Build and maintain s automation frameworks for regression and production sing.
- Design s PCBs for fixtures, harnessing, and evaluation hardware.
- Operate RF and electronic s equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Perform data analysis and statistical interpretation of s results.
- Collaborate with design engineers to draft s standards and improve s ability of designs.
- Support JTAG programming, boundary scan, and debug access for board bring-up.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
- 4+ years of experience in hardware s engineering for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics.
- Experience designing s fixtures and s interface boards.
- Proficiency with electronic s equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs).
- Strong skills in s automation scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent).
- Experience with root-cause analysis and structured debugging methodologies.
- Hands-on lab experience with board bring-up, rework, and instrumentation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience sing satellite or spacecraft avionics hardware through EM/QM/FM qualification cycles.
- Background in environmental sing (thermal cycling, vibration, shock).
- Experience with JTAG-based s and debug.
- Familiarity with DFT methodologies and s ability analysis during design phase.
- Knowledge of IPC workmanship standards and ESD-safe handling practices.
- Experience with data acquisition systems and automated s equipment (ATE).
