Description:
Location: Renton, WA/ Denver, CO/ Phoenix, AZ
6 months contract with potential to convert or extend
Responsibilities:
Develop an embedded controller design that interacts with avionics systems (including sensors and electromechanical/electrohydraulic actuators).
Own this design, and the rugged electronic hardware assemblies across the entire product life cycle, from concept and requirements definition, design, analysis, prototyping, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and through release to production.
Support avionics controller architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
Support controller risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management.
Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related disciplines
• A breadth of understanding in electronics hardware development such as developing complex circuit cards, consumer electronics, wireless devices, or other advanced electronic commercial or aerospace products
• Experience with analog, digital or mixed-signal circuit design, including analysis, simulation, test, troubleshooting, and part selection
• Knowledge of signal integrity, power, grounding, and general board layout principles
• Familiar with many of the following parts and their usage: microcontrollers, processors, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs, OpAmps, power supplies (linear, LDO, DC/DC), volatile memory (DDR), non-volatile memory (NAND, NOR, etc.), and MOSFETs
• Knowledge of common communication methods, such as RS232, RS422, I2C, SPI, LVDS, Ethernet, CAN, or PCIe
• Knowledge of radiation effects on electronics and how to apply this to designs targeting space applications
• Desire to work hands-on, both independently and as part of a team, throughout the development and production phases of the electronic assembly product lifecycle
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and supply to a culture of collaboration

Desired:
Master of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related disciplines
Successful Candidates typically have 7 years of experience (5 years with Masters) in design, development, test, and operation of vehicle Avionics systems
Experience with launch vehicle Avionics systems hardware development, integration, and test
Basic or better knowledge of motor controller design and operation
Demonstrated experience designing high reliability safety-critical, Class 2/3 board assemblies; familiarity with IPC-A-600/610, DO-254 and similar standards
Scripting, Programming and Analysis: TCL, Python, Linux shell and Windows batch scripting; C / C ; MATLAB / Simulink, HSPICE and HFSS (or similar modeling/analysis tools)
