Senior Staff Electrical Engineer

About the role

This is a senior technical leadership role within SlingWorks, one of Elbit America’s most advanced engineering teams focused on next-generation targeting and mission-system technologies. As a Senior Staff Electrical Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority for complex electrical architectures and board-level system design while remaining hands-on throughout the full hardware lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Architect and lead the development of complex electrical and board-level designs, including schematic capture, part selection, interface definition, and system partitioning
• Provide system-level leadership across electrical domains, including digital, analog, power, and mixed-signal subsystems
• Lead integration of processors, sensors, high-speed digital interfaces, and supporting electronics into cohesive electrical architectures
• Define FPGA electrical integration strategy at the interface and system level (no RTL development required)
• Direct PCB layout activities to ensure signal integrity, EMC/EMI robustness, manufacturability, and compliance
• Lead board bring-up, electrical debug, validation, and root-cause analysis in lab environments
• Develop validation methodologies, electrical test plans, and debug frameworks used across programs
• Drive resolution of electrical issues across prototype and production builds
• Drive electrical design for size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained systems, including power distribution, power integrity, efficiency, and thermal considerations
• Partner closely with mechanical, systems, and embedded software teams to ensure seamless system-level integration
• Guide DFM/DFT strategy and support transition from prototype to production with manufacturing teams
• Oversee and interpret electrical analysis, modeling, and simulation efforts to de-risk architectures

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (Master’s preferred)
• 15+ years of experience in electronic design, development, and system integration
• Proven ability to lead complex design efforts and organize large-scale engineering activities
• Expertise in Schematic Capture tools (such as Mentor Graphics Xpedition) and Electrical analysis/simulation software (such as LTSPICE)
• Proficiency with PLM tools or similar ERP tools
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-reliability environment supporting mission-critical applications

Qualifications

• Required training: ESD and safety training (can be completed within first year)

Skills

• Strong problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies

Benefits

• Most locations offer a 9/80 schedule, providing every other Friday off
• Competitive compensation & 401(k) program to plan for your future
• Robust medical, dental, vision, & disability coverage with qualified wellness discounts
• Basic Life Insurance and Additional Life & AD&D Insurances are available
• Paid vacation and PTO
• Paid parental leave
• Generous employee referral program
• Voluntary benefits available: Longer Term Care, Legal, Identify Theft, Pet Insurance, and more
• Voluntary Tricare Supplement available for military retirees
