We would like to add a motivated fastpaced Digital and Analog Electronics Design Engineer with a diverse and solid background to our onsite team in Hampton Virginia.

Job Description

The primary purpose of this position is to serve as a digital and analog electronics engineer and provide electronics design and development efforts for second generation LiDAR to support defense and space contracts as well as the fastmoving autonomous vehicle sector.

Projects will include lab demonstrations field measurement campaigns and prototypes to be supplied to potential customers for testing in their systems. Work requires highspeed digital electronics board and systemlevel design including the development of systems that incorporate microprocessors microcontrollers memory systems complex interfaces and FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGA).

Designs must perform under stringent aviation and space environmental conditions. Highlyintegrated sensors and supporting electronics will be necessary to achieve high performance requirements for our alpha and beta demonstration units. This newly developed LiDAR and improved signal processing systems will result in a farreaching impact in the field of autonomous vehicles.

The work involves analyzing designing simulating fabricating testing and conducting performance validation and verification of electronic data processing controls and instrumentation systems. Fast turnaround and reliable board design are critical. These will be used for detecting recording measuring or controlling physical conditions phenomena and environments encountered in automotive aeronautical and aerospace development programs.

Major Responsibilities as an Engineer
