Title: Lead, Electrical Engineering - Analog & Digital Design

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Job Type: FTE/Permanent

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to work in a dynamic environment, focusing on analog and digital design for ruggedized electronics. The ideal candidate will be adaptable, capable of working independently with minimal supervision, and have strong communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Design analog and digital electronics for ruggedized applications.
• Perform circuit tolerance analyses using hand calculations and simulation tools (e.g., Spice).
• Develop and refine product requirements and ensure compliance.
• Generate test plans and reports related to product performance, including design verification and qualification.
• Lead and direct test activities through all stages of the product development cycle.
• Conduct failure investigations using structured methods (e.g., 8D, Fishbone analysis).
• Lead design reviews and create materials for all product development phases.
• Serve as the primary technical interface with internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to material and labor estimates for project proposals.
• Create Engineering Orders (EOs) and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs).
• Mentor electrical engineering staff and lead multiple projects simultaneously.
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field and a minimum of 9 years of relevant experience, or a graduate degree with 7 years of experience, or 13 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
• Experience designing with analog building blocks, including differential amplifiers, op amps, filters, and data converters (5 years).
• Experience with basic digital building blocks, including logic gates, flip-flops, and timers (5 years).
• Experience with power conversion concepts (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC, Linear and Switching Supplies) (4 years).
• Experience with module design, including component selection, circuit analysis, and layout (4 years).
• Proficiency in troubleshooting using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, meters, etc.) (5 years).
• Experience with modeling and simulation utilities (e.g., LTSpice, MATLAB/Simulink) (4 years).
• Experience with schematic capture and board layout utilities (e.g., Altium, PADS) (4 years).
• Proven experience in leading large-scale technical projects from start to completion (4 years).
• Expertise in preparing and participating in design reviews and creating technical documentation (test plans, test reports, drawings, etc.) (4 years).
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• 15 years of experience with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with sensors (e.g., temperature, MEMs accelerometers, differential pressure sensors, GYROs) (4 years).
• Experience with serial communication buses (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C) (5 years).
• Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis (5 years).
• Experience with power supply and power conditioning design (5 years).
• Expertise in designing Electronic Safety and Arming Devices (ESADs) and Ignition Safety Devices (ISDs) per relevant standards (5 years).
• Experience presenting designs to Safety Review Boards (e.g., AFSRB, FISTRP) (5 years).
• Experience with energetic materials interfacing/testing (e.g., EFDIs, LEEFIs) (3 years).
• Experience designing for extreme environments (e.g., vibration, shock, temperature, humidity) (5 years).
  
  

Key Attributes For Success

• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills.
• Excellent communication abilities to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
