The Electrical Engineer III position is a critical role within our engineering team, focusing on the design, development, modification, and evaluation of electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for various electronic equipment and hardware systems. This position requires a strong foundation in electrical engineering principles and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to develop electronic systems for small unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs). The successful candidate will be responsible for selecting components and equipment based on thorough analysis of specifications and reliability, as well as determining design approaches and parameters. In this role, the engineer will perform simulations and detailed designs for both digital and analog circuits, driving system integration, assembly procedures, and test procedures. Documentation is a key aspect of this position, as the engineer will be required to create engineering drawings and written descriptions of their designs. Troubleshooting complex systems from both hardware and software perspectives is essential, as is the ability to design, build, and test prototypes efficiently. The engineer will also work with avionics, embedded systems, and RF links, writing software to support the integration of sensors and embedded processors. The position involves designing and implementing circuit boards, which includes architecture, component selection, schematic capture, board layout, board bring-up, and thorough documentation. Additionally, the engineer will provide electronic engineering support for research and development projects, performing design and analysis tasks while writing fabrication and test procedures. The role requires working on problems of diverse scope, where the analysis of data necessitates the evaluation of identifiable factors, and following standard practices and procedures when analyzing situations or data to derive solutions. Other duties may be assigned as necessary.
