Electrical Engineer (Rapid Prototyping)

About the Role

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer (Rapid Prototyping) with a strong background in rapid development and hardware integration (PCB design, embedded hardware, etc.) to support advanced shipboard electronics—from initial concept through rapid prototyping and field testing. You'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team to design, build, and deliver innovative systems that directly impact national security missions at sea.

Responsibilities

• Create novel, custom solutions to unique challenges while advancing the field of maritime electronics.
• Develop maritime electrical systems by applying skills in analog, digital, and RF design for rapid fielding.
• Perform testing and design verification for systems in both a lab environment and during integration onto U.S. Navy platforms.
• Document designs and technical reports to support electrical integration and installation on maritime platforms.
• Develop emerging technologies and prototypes to evaluate new capabilities.

Minimum Requirements

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of relevant experience in the design, assembly, and testing of electrical systems.
• Strong curiosity and desire to learn new things.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, quick-turnaround environment.
• Proficiency in circuit design and embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (e.g., spectrum/network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power supplies).
• Experience with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design and PCB design tools (such as Altium Designer).
• Experience solving custom hardware at the component and circuit level.
• Willing to work periodically on U.S. Navy vessels alongside a team of technical experts.
• Can support CONUS travel required for meetings and testing, including potential short-duration embarkations on U.S. Naval vessels.
• Able to obtain an interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to Top Secret classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

Preferred Qualifications

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Strong background in rapid prototyping and quick-turn development.
• Experience with advanced PCB design techniques.
• Experience across the full hardware development lifecycle—from concept through field deployment.
• Demonstrated ability to balance multiple competing priorities to maintain project momentum.
• Ability to engineer creative, out-of-the-box strategies to guide teams through tight project constraints.
• Experience with Navy electronics, shipboard installations/procedures, and the Navy's Temporary Alteration (TEMPALT) process.
• Active Top Secret level security clearance.
