The engineer may support new system development, existing-system modifications, production activities, laboratory testing, and lifecycle sustainment.

This role requires in-person support. May be required to support 2nd shift periodically.

Duties:
Design, analyze, test, and troubleshoot RF, analog, and digital electronic circuits and subsystems.
Develop and evaluate circuit designs, schematics, block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
Perform laboratory testing and system-level integration using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, power meters, and other electronic test equipment.
Troubleshoot circuit cards, RF assemblies, digital interfaces, power supplies, communication systems, and related electronic hardware.
Analyze RF performance characteristics, including frequency response, signal integrity, gain, noise, impedance, modulation, filtering, and power output.
Evaluate digital circuitry, including processors, microcontrollers, field-programmable gate arrays, memory devices, data buses, and digital communication interfaces.
Support the development of test procedures, test plans, acceptance criteria, and automated or manual test solutions.
Conduct failure analysis and root-cause investigations and recommend corrective actions.
Support prototype development, system modifications, hardware upgrades, and engineering change activities.
Review technical data, drawings, specifications, and system requirements for accuracy and completeness.
Document test results, engineering analyses, technical recommendations, and design decisions.
Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical, test, manufacturing, logistics, and configuration-management personnel.
Provide technical guidance to engineering technicians and other team members.
Support technical reviews, customer meetings, design reviews, and program-status discussions.
Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable quality, safety, cybersecurity, configuration-management, and documentation requirements.
