Learn more about the general tasks related to this opportunity below, as well as required skills.

Job Description Summary:

- A Senior Analog Electronics Engineer designs, specifies, develops, and tests analog electronics and requirements for a wide array of applications, including analog front-end, signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, precision feedback systems, dc/dc conversion. They also perform a variety of engineering work in the initial planning and design phase of specifications and requirements of the systems.

- Job Description:

- Duties/Responsibilities
--- Design, develop, and build analog electronics.
--- Conduct research, design, development, and testing of hardware such as amplifiers, LDO's, comparators, mixers, phase locked loops, and radiation hardened designs.
--- Optimize system designs for low noise, performance as well as size, weight and power.
--- Design new products and develop technical specifications for their production.
--- Analyze hardware configuration and processing solutions and test hardware conformance to specifications.
--- Develop and maintain effective internal/external relationships.
--- Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements.
--- Subject Matter Expert (SME) able to perform advanced architectures and designs for complex analog electronics.
--- Involved in business development and proposal activities.
--- Identify program/system-level technical risks and develop and execute mitigation strategies.
--- Ability to manage multi-disciplinary tasks with multiple engineers and effectively communicate status to project leadership and customers.
