Principal Electrical Engineering Team Lead - Computing Solutions

Principal Electrical EngineerThe Computing Solutions Department (CSD) within Displays, Computing, and Networking (DCN) is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to support the development of next-generation avionics computing platforms. Our platforms incorporate airborne electronic hardware such as FPGAs, ASICs, and MPSoCs, and interface with key avionics protocols including ARINC 429, Ethernet, AFDX, PCIe, CAN, RS-232, DDR, I2C, and SPI.This role will contribute by leading a Hardware engineering team to delivering a product-line computing platform, associated certification plans, and lifecycle artifacts that enable reuse across future avionics solutions.What You Will Do:Lead circuit card and sub-level module development, product certification, product transition, and product sustainment over the life cycle of the design.Serve as the Certification Focal, owning the Plan for Hardware Aspects of Certification (PHAC) as well as hardware development and verification plansExecute solutions with a product-line focus to maximize reuse of lifecycle artifacts.Drive technical issue resolution, risk identification, and mitigation planning.Lead cross-functional engineering teams (EE, ME, FPGA, Systems, Manufacturing, Test) through development, integration, verification and project design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR).What You Will Learn:Advanced SoC Integration: Gain expertise in integrating multi-core processors and the associated implications to design and certificationRegulatory Leadership: Develop the skills to guide a team through the rigorous Stage of Involvement (SOI) audit process, becoming a subject matter expert in modern certification guidance.Master Hardware Architecting: Advance from a designer to a high-level Hardware ArchitectQualifications You Must Have:Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience.Hardware domain knowledge of development and verification lifecycle activities and production of the associated artifacts.Proven design experience leading CCA design from concept through production: Includes working with schematic capture and PCB layout tools, demonstrated knowledge of analog, digital and mixed signal design principles, experience with PCB layout constraints.Experience conducting and participating in formal design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR).Familiarity with industry standards such as IPC-2221, IPC-A-610, MIL-STD-461/810/704, DO-160, or similar.Ability to interpret and decompose system-level requirements into hardware design requirements.Experience providing technical leadership to a small engineering team (e.g., task direction, mentoring, reviewing work products, coordinating development activities).Qualifications We Prefer:Understanding and application of certification objectives (DO-254, AC 20-152A) including COTS Device Assessments and managing complex component errata.Understanding of Design to Cost (DTC+), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT)Knowledge of MPSoC-based architectures and board-level integration of heterogeneous processing elements (e.g., ARM cores, FPGA fabric, high-speed I/O).Experience establishing hardware reference architectures and developing product-line solutions that enable reuse, scalability, and consistent design patterns across multiple platforms.What We OfferSome of our competitive benefits package includes:Medical, dental, and vision insuranceThree weeks of vacation for newly hired employeesGenerous 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds and separate employer retirement contribution, including a Lifetime Income Strategy optionTuition reimbursement programStudent Loan Repayment ProgramLife insurance and disability coverageOptional coverages you can buy pet insurance, home and auto insurance, additional life and accident insurance, critical illness insurance, group legal, ID theft protectionBirth, adoption, parental leave benefitsOvia Health, fertility, and family planningAdoption AssistanceAutism BenefitEmployee Assistance Plan, including up to 10 free counseling sessionsHealthy You Incentives, wellness rewards programDoctor on Demand, virtual doctor visitsBright Horizons, child and elder care servicesTeladoc Medical Experts, second opinion programAnd more!
