Staff Electrical Engineer

About the role

The Staff Electrical Engineer is a senior technical contributor within SlingWorks, one of Elbit America’s most advanced engineering teams. They develop next-generation targeting and mission-system technologies, leading complex board-level electrical designs, contributing to system architecture decisions, and driving subsystem-level electrical integration.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of complex electrical and board-level hardware, including schematic capture, component selection, and interface definition
• Contribute to electrical architecture decisions across digital, analog, mixed-signal, and power domains
• Integrate processors, sensors, high-speed digital interfaces, and supporting electronics at the subsystem level
• Support and help define FPGA electrical integration strategies (no RTL 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 and implement test plans, validation strategies, and debug methodologies for program hardware
• Drive resolution of electrical issues across prototype and low-rate production builds
• Lead electrical design for SWaP-constrained systems, including power distribution, power integrity, efficiency, and thermal considerations
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, and embedded software teams to ensure effective system-level integration
• Participate in architecture reviews, technical trade studies, and design reviews
• Support DFM/DFT approaches and help transition designs from prototype to manufacturing
• Perform and interpret electrical analysis, modeling, and simulation to reduce technical risk
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers
• Provide technical guidance and constructive design reviews

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (Master’s preferred)
• Typically 12+ years of experience in electronic design, hardware development, and system integration
• Proven ability to lead major design efforts and work collaboratively across multiple engineering disciplines
• Strong experience with schematic capture tools (such as Mentor Graphics Xpedition) and electrical analysis/simulation tools (such as LTSPICE)
• Familiarity with PLM or ERP tools
• Experience working in high-reliability, fast-paced environments supporting mission-critical systems
• Required training: ESD and safety training (can be completed within the first year)
• Experience with aerospace/defense, MIL-STD requirements, or DO-254 practices is a plus

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical or Electronic Engineering
• MS in Electrical or Electronic Engineering preferred
• 12+ years of relevant experience
• Proven leadership and collaboration skills
• Expertise in schematic capture and electrical analysis tools
• Experience in high-reliability, fast-paced environments

Skills

• Electrical design and hardware development
• Schematic capture and electrical analysis/simulation tools
• PLM or ERP tools
• High-reliability, fast-paced environments
• MIL-STD requirements or DO-254 practices

Benefits

• Competitive compensation & 401(k) program
• Rugged medical, dental, vision, & disability coverage
• Basic Life Insurance and Additional Life & AD&D Insurances
• Paid Parental Leave
• Generous Employee Referral Program
• Voluntary Benefits: Longer Term Care, Legal, Identity Theft, Pet Insurance, and more
• Voluntary Tricare Supplement available for military retirees

Pay

Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience.
