L3Harris

Job Code: 10616

Job Location: Palm Bay, FL

Job Description:

L3Harris is seeking a self-motivated Electrical Hardware engineer to join our embedded systems development team to deliver mission critical solutions for a variety of customers at our Palm Bay, FL location.  This position will focus primarily on the development of custom Digital/Mixed-Signal circuit designs, Digital Architecture concepts for advanced Space and Intel & Cyber Systems, and Bids & Proposals for the design and integration of complex Digital and Mixed Signal HW.  This role will require Technical and Integrated Product team leadership skills as well as mentorship capabilities for early in career engineers.

Essential Functions:

• Perform digital Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) design process including requirements generation, preliminary design, peer reviews, detailed design, test plan generation, and integration and test.
• Understand the requirements and architect a digital CCA solution against those requirements including the use of DSP, Microcontroller, FPGA, ASIC, CPLD, ADC, DAC, Point of Load (POL), SERDES, Serial (I2C, SPI, etc), and volatile/non-volatile memory (DDRx, SRAM, ROM, Flash, etc) components.
• Simulate the digital CCA circuits to verify performance, then integrate and test the CCA into the higher level assembly (Signal Integrity simulation).
• Lead a team of designers in generating the digital CCA design solutions.
• Perform Digital circuit design and hardware engineering at the component level in support of phased array antennas and embedded systems.
• Work closely with Power, Analog, Firmware, RF, mechanical, and system/software engineering to meet challenging performance requirements.
• Work with customers to translate mission requirements to working concepts.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and a minimum of 12 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 16 years of prior related experience.
• Experience with Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) design process
• Experience with requirements generation, preliminary design, peer reviews, detailed design, test plan generation, and integration and test.
• Experience using ECAD tools such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence or similar

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Perform schematic capture and printed circuit board design work using ECAD tools such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence or similar.
• Experience with power supply and digital hardware design to in support of embedded systems.
• Experience with programmable logic devices such as CPLDs or FPGAs and familiarity with a variety of embedded processors.
• Thorough understanding of VHDL, the FPGA design process and the tools used to generate the FPGA designs.
• Experience with high speed memory and network interfaces and protocols is desired.
• Self-motivated individual with the ability to work and communicate effectively within a development group is desired.
• Ability to work in a team environment and negotiate solutions with Hardware / Software Engineering and Systems Engineering is preferred.
• Proficiency with Xilinx, Altera Tool Suites (VHDL, Synthesis, Place and Route, Simulation, Timing Analysis), is desired.
