Job Description:

• Seeking a Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Design Engineer experienced in developing devices with active/passive signal converter & conditioning circuits and switching power control/driver circuits, implemented in either multi-chip & wire hybrid, or SMT CCA form factors, to join our dynamic, growing organization as a valued member of the team.

Key Position Accountabilities:

• Take primary technical leadership in the design, management, and support of Synchro / Resolver to Digital, and DATEL A2D & D2A mixed signal converter product lines.
• Lead switched-mode multi-phase Brushless DC Motor (BLDC) driver & controller product lines.
• Master analog/mixed signal analysis and design to meet demanding device specifications.
• Lead an interdisciplinary Engineering staff through the phases of product life cycle development from requirements, architecture, and detailed design, through to device verification, qualification, and transition to manufacturing production & support.
• Review obsolescence and redesign products to support military & aerospace customers when needed.

Essential Duties:

• Develop clear requirements and specs from marketing/customer documents.
• Provide early customer interaction to guide requirements toward more realizable product.
• Distill large-scale designs down to their architectural elements and develop innovative analog and digital hardware design solutions.
• Consider & pursue patent applications for differentiators that will help secure a competitive advantage.
• Generate reports and present findings to the team throughout the review process.
• Facilitate DFM by coordinating teams of varied technical disciplines through a clearly defined design process and co-ordinate technical reviews with other groups.
• Develop creative approaches that favorably optimize complex design tradeoffs for product cost, performance, feature set, time to market, and technical risk.
• Anticipate potential difficulties and develop alternative plans.
• Manage support and verification activities (thermal, electrical stress, worst-case, FMEA, tolerance, aging, and EMI analyses, performance simulations, and design verification) to ensure meeting all environmental requirements for the application.
• Develop project plans, budgets, schedules, and identify resources to progress from market requirement through product release.
• Identify risks and develop contingency plans to mitigate schedule/technical threats to the program.
• Contribute technical input, as well as material and labor cost estimates in support of winning tactical business opportunities and proposals.
• Mentor, coach, and train engineers to facilitate greater levels of technical and professional achievement.
• Support legacy product lines and resolve new product issues as they arise.
• Work across departments to lead vendor or engineering outsource selection decisions based on technical performance, risk, and cost tradeoffs.
• Investigate and propose new methods, processes, techniques, tools, components, or technology improvements for quality, timeliness, and efficiency.
• Conduct in-depth technical interviews and make hiring recommendations for capable and talented technical staff to grow an effective Engineering team.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering; Graduate Engineering degree a plus.
• Deep bench of Analog Circuit design experience in multiple A to D architectures (multiple pass SAR, Flash, Sigma Delta, Pipeline) and D to A (serial DACs, R2R, current steering, charge scaling).
• Experience should cover low noise and high dynamic range techniques, sample acquisition and hold circuits, Bandgap reference, Oscillators, Op-amps, Switched Capacitor Circuits, Active Filters, single-ended & differential circuits, phase/frequency control loops and stability analysis.
• Comfort with working in both time & frequency domains.
• Experience in power electronics/power management (Buck/Boost, LDO, Charge Pump, Inverters using MOSFET, IGBT, SiC, and GaN Power devices).
• Analog/mixed signal ASIC design and verification using Cadence or Tanner tool suites.
• Experience with space-level radiation hardened design, rad lot testing, ionizing radiation, single event upset and total dose analysis regarding component selection.
• Sensors, including LVDT, Synchro/Resolvers and Encoders.
• Control theory and Matrix mathematics including Z domain transform for digital control, Experience with Motor control simulation.
• Clark and Park transform theory.
• High-level understanding of thermal, electrical stress, worst case, FMEA, tolerance, aging, and design for low EMI.
• Experience with CAD tools such as LT-Spice, P-Spice, OrCAD, Allegro, and Pantheon.
• Candidate must be a US Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Green Card Holder due to Export control laws.
