Senior Digital Design Engineer (Product Solutions)

About the role

Silvus Technologies, a leading provider of advanced MANET and MIMO communications systems, is reshaping mesh network technology for mission-critical applications – on the ground, in the air and at sea. Its battle-proven StreamCaster family of MANET radios and proprietary MN-MIMO waveform provides the vital communications link for defense, law enforcement and public safety agencies around the world, and in the toughest operational environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and testing of new products, iterating the development with design engineers (EE, mechanical, and software) as well as product managers.
• Component selection, schematic capture, and PCB design of electrical systems based on an FPGA SoC with associated memory devices, transceivers, communication peripherals, and power management circuitry.
• Define PCB stack up, materials, and design rules to meet performance requirements and manufacturing feasibility.
• Perform hardware bring-up, test, and root cause analysis on the bench, using common lab equipment.
• Evaluate to determine risk assessments and mitigation paths (technical, schedule, and resources) across the design team, during the design process.
• Cookordination resources, identify and resolve technical challenges throughout the product development lifecycle, including design for manufacturing, build cost viability/analysis, transitioning from engineering to pre-production / production (BOMs, drawing updates, configuration management, test plans, etc.).
• Plan, organize, and conduct product and system integration, testing, and validation, including support/conduct thermal testing/analysis, mechanical/electrical fit checks, FAAT, and related testing.
• Ensure product designs and implementation meet MIL-STD environmental, EMI, EEE, and human factors (e.g., MIL-STD-810, -461, -464, and -1472) specifications as appropriate by formulating test plans and outsourcing.
• Provide technical direction and mentor junior team members, as appropriate.
• Perform other related duties of which the above are representative.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a closely related field.
• Minimum 6 years of experience in mixed signal circuit design involving audio, SoCs, and Xilinx FPGAs, with demonstrated experience with complex mixed signal PCB design and HDI routing.
• Experience implementing digital communication peripherals at a hardware level, such as USB 3.0, 10Gb Ethernet, and RS232.
• Strong familiarity with test equipment such as DMM, bench top supply, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and spectrum analyzer.
• Deep knowledge of product design principles, prototyping, and product testing (design verification and acceptance testing).
• Familiarity with, and experience in, MIL-STD requirements and compliance testing.
• Strong ability to analyze data, perform root cause analysis, and make informed decisions.
• Strong skills in managing project timelines, coordinating resources, and leading teams to achieve product goals.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen due to clients under U.S. government contracts.
• All employment is contingent upon the successful clearance of a background check and drug test.
