Required Skills and Education

The selected electrical engineer is expected to have applicable experience in the following areas:

Test Stands:

Selecting the appropriate test equipment to effectively test the target hardware, considering existing hardware specifications, hardware test requirements, and cost. The candidate should have extensive experience with all types of test equipment for Digital, Analog, RF and Power Supply testing. This should include but not be limited to Power Supplies, Oscilloscopes, Power Meters, Chillers, Signal/Function Generators, Spectrum/Network Analyzers, Logic Analyzers, and Pattern Generators. Familiarity with all the typical equipment interfaces, USB, GPIB, Ethernet, PXI, PXIe, Serial RS232/RS422.

Hardware Design:

Design of backplane printed wiring boards. These become the interface between the test equipment and the test target. These will include providing all the necessary power to the target, signal translation between logic families (TTL/LVTTL/PECL/ECL/etc). The Backplane will also accommodate for all control interfaces, serial, JTAG, SPI, clocking and custom digital bus interfaces. These test interfaces will be designed using the Cadence Allegro and/or Altium Designer schematic capture and PWB layout tools. The designer will utilize and implement best practices during PCB design such as EMI mitigation for conducted and radiated emissions, grounding, trace impedance, length matching, power planes, stack-ups, thermal conductivity, signal integrity etc. The test backplanes can also include:

RF circuits: LNA’s, Mixers, Filters, switches etc.

Power/Analog: Filters, Power Supplies with topologies such as Buck-Boost, amplifiers, sequencing, high-side switching, etc.

Serial Communications such as 1553, RS485, and RS232.

Processor interfacing, Memory such as on-board Flash and SDRAM, interfacing different buses with attention to timing and config setup, etc.Software Design:

Utilize knowledge of National Instruments family of products (Test Stand/LabWindows/LabView/LabView FPGA) to design test suites that will perform all tests in an automated environment, including control of all test equipment, capturing the test data and reporting/storing results. This task also includes some forensic software analysis to determine how currently released software performs. This can be “C” based and/or Keysight “VEE” based.

Additional Responsibilities:

Responsible for maintaining an operational state for all existing program test stands in the areas of RF, Microwave, Digital, Analog, and Power.

Assisting in the troubleshoot and debug of field returns to support operations factory floor in order to maintain RTAT goals.

Mentoring of lower level engineers to support you in order to meet schedule and will provide the daily directions.

Preferred Skills and Education

14+ years experience in Electrical Engineering or Bachelor in Electrical Engineering with 10+ year(s) related experience
