Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Company, provides Cyber Security services and cutting-edge technologies to the Federal Government. SealingTech is looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join our dynamic and fast-paced team. The Senior Electrical Engineer will lead the electrical engineering efforts within SealingTech's Product Development team, focusing on designing and developing industry-leading solutions for the Department of Defense. This role involves managing junior engineers, establishing and refining processes, and ensuring the successful execution of electrical engineering tasks.
The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in leading the design of schematics and layouts for printed circuit boards and assemblies. They are adept at hands-on prototype bench work and seamlessly transitioning products from development to full-scale production.
Responsibilities include:
- Perform systems and electrical engineering design tasks including requirements analysis, specification generation, interface definition, component selection, simulation, schematic capture, board layout, design verification testing, and production verification testing.
- Perform simulation, testing, and troubleshooting of electrical designs, including hands-on bench testing and debugging using standard test equipment.
- Participate effectively in multi-disciplinary engineering teams integrating the efforts of technicians, mechanical engineers, systems engineers, and software engineers.
- Develop test plans and procedures for verification designs; execute test activities such as design verification testing and production verification testing.
- Establish, refine, and enforce engineering guidelines to optimize quality and ensure customer success.
- Identify and collaborate with suppliers of components and subsystems to ensure that products meet system requirements.
- Oversee the work of others within the hardware group, including direct report administrative responsibilities and providing work direction.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Candidate must have 7 years of electrical engineering circuit design experience.
- BS in Electrical Engineering or similar work experience (Master’s Degree Preferred).
- Extensive experience in PCB design, with proficiency in part placement, footprint creation, Gerber files, and maintaining part libraries, with at least 5 years of PCB layout experience.
- Direct experience routing high-speed digital signals (PCIe, USB, Gigabit, LVDS, clocks) and low-speed digital signals (RS-232, I2C, SPI), analog signal and power, and more.
- Must be able to identify parts or sub-components from the commercial market that meet our system requirements.
- Must have good working knowledge of high-speed data transmission standards such as PCIe, 10GigE, etc., and the ability to accurately consider impedance matching, trace characteristics, attenuation, and other factors in PCB design that impact transmission speeds.
- Experience routing both single-ended and differential pairs is required.
- Candidate should be able to optimize designs for PCBs and flex circuits for density, cost, thermal issues, and other factors.
- Must have strong written and interpersonal communication skills.
- Must be able to work both independently and within an Integrated Product Team construct to produce measurable results.
