Are you passionate about providing real impact to the country's toughest national security problems?
Do you love building and prototyping robust electrical systems?
If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.
The Miniature Device Technologies Group develops highly customized tools and techniques required to carry out missions around the globe. Whether it be a quick reaction need from the field or the long term development of a novel capability, we work hand in hand with our government sponsors to conceive and realize solutions to their most challenging problems. We leverage our diverse set of capabilities in integrated circuit, printed circuit board (PCB), embedded software, field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and signal processing design to create ultra-small, low-power solutions that exceed comparable commercial alternatives.
We are seeking a versatile senior electronics design engineer to help us advance the state-of-the-art in miniature sensor systems for a wide range of applications. In this role, you will focus heavily on the trades of size, weight, and power (SWaP) as you design systems for ultimate performance, whether it be for a handheld/body-worn or a high-bandwidth DSP or FPGA application. You will have the opportunity to work the full design cycle, including tasks such as: concept development, schematic capture, circuit simulation, PCB design, product mechanical integration, battery selection, environmental suitability, device fabrication, and device testing and final qualification. As a result, you will get to work with a multidisciplinary team of highly-talented electrical, software, mechanical, and materials engineers as you integrate your designs into the greater system. Some of the types of systems we develop include but are not limited to:
