Job description
We are seeking a team-oriented, motivated, early or mid-career electrical engineer to support a multidisciplinary team that specializes in the R&D of advanced embedded electronics architectures for space systems. You will be responsible for working directly with the team to develop and mature cutting-edge space mission enabling electronics architectures. Due to the nature of this position, relocation near Albuquerque, NM is required.

On any given day, you may be called on to:
  • Be responsible for designing digital processing hardware, software, and systems
  • Collaborate with technical team members on the design of space electronics architectures
  • Drive design realization through full life cycle; conceptual designs, trade studies, detail designs, procedures, assembly, testing, and verification
  • Develop and test prototype and flight hardware and software
  • Use Xilinx FPGA design tools to implement, simulate, and test FPGA designs
  • Use High Level Synthesis (HLS) tools to convert algorithms and functions into FPGA IP cores
  • Write, test, and debug Linux device drivers for interfacing with FPGA IP cores
  • Write, test, and debug C and Python applications for interfacing with FPGA IP cores
  • Understand requirements from both flight software teams and hardware/electronics teams and bridge the gaps between the two
  • Understand (and possibly implement) image processing algorithms using HLS tools, targeting FPGAs
  • Qualify hardware, software, and procedures to ensure security and reliability of critical functionality.
  • Serve as a technical interface for customers and internal management
  • Document customer expectations, define performance requirements, and work with the technical team to assure all expectations and requirements are met
  • Identify opportunities to drive innovative solutions and create the future of space
Sub-contractors are required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes
checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Applicants offered employment with sub-contractors are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
  • Bachelor’s degree and advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer
  • Engineering, or a Science/Engineering/Mathematics discipline
  • Demonstrated interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team setting for a common purpose
  • Two or more years’ experience designing and realizing electronic systems
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoE Q security clearance
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoE SCI security clearance
Ideally, your background would also include some of the following:
  • Demonstrated ability to work well in a diverse teaming environment
  • Experience in the design, analysis, realization, and testing of electrical products
  • Proficiency in designing, implementing, and testing designs in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices or microprocessor-based SoC devices
  • Familiarity with FPGA design tools and processes
  • Familiarity with High Level Synthesis tools and processes
  • Experience with programming and/or hardware descriptor languages, such as C++, Python, VHDL, or Verilog.
  • Experience with engineering software tools, such as MATLAB or LabView
  • Experience using and writing applications for Linux (embedded Linux is a plus)
  • Experience writing Linux device drivers
  • Understanding of systems engineering and design quality processes
  • Experience with electrical systems for satellite payloads, and/or aerospace programs
  • Proven ability to interpret requirements and design hardware in compliance with electrical and mechanical specifications
  • Proven ability to test and debug hardware and software systems, and/or familiarity with test equipment such as high-speed oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.
  • Oral and written communication skills, typically evidenced through technical publications and presentations
  • Ability to collaborate with commercial or contracted suppliers to acquire hardware, software, or custom components with appropriate procurement rigor
  • Experience in designing digital and/or analog circuitry including sensors in a variety of technologies
  • Embedded electronic systems modeling and simulation experience
  • System level experience mapping performance and ICD requirements to embedded system instances
  • Familiarity with hardware and/or software requirements generation for verification, validation, and qualification
  • Interest leading multi-disciplinary technical teams at the system level
  • Active DOE Q security clearance or equivalent
  • Active DOE SCI security clearance
