The team develops and integrates leading edge mixed signal systems involving novel architectures, advanced algorithms, custom integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs), and state of the art packaging and integration techniques. As a member of this group, you will contribute to designing electronic solutions that transition innovative concepts into prototype hardware.\n\nEssential Duties\n\nDesign and implement engineering solutions for electrical and electronic components, analog and digital subsystems, and associated algorithms, ensuring alignment with established engineering principles and development guidelines.\n\nCreate board level design requirements, schematics, and test plans for existing designs, including tolerance verification, form/fit/function assessment, signal and power integrity analysis, thermal characterization, and system level power measurements for printed circuit assemblies.\n\nCollaborate closely with internal stakeholders and external vendors throughout hardware design and development cycles.\n\nAnalyze product requirements from both system and hardware perspectives to propose high performance, cost effective solutions.\n\nRequired Qualifications\n\nBS, MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related scientific discipline.\n\nExperience taking complex designs through the full hardware development cycle, including specification, schematic capture, layout, bring up, characterization, and testing.\n\nProficient in system bring up and debugging of complex embedded systems.\n\nSkilled in high speed digital design (e.g., PCIe, SERDES, HDMI).\n\nProficient with CAD tools—preferably Allegro—for design, layout, and simulation.\n\nProficiency in the use of computers, engineering workstations, complex electronic equipment, oral and written communication, interaction with vendors/colleagues, and willingness to work in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment.\n\nAbility to work well in a team and independently.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nPossess a solid working knowledge of fundamental high speed electrical engineering and circuit design principles.\n\nFamiliarity with power integrity concepts such as decoupling strategies, transient response, and PDN design.\n\nUnderstanding of signal integrity topics including crosstalk, insertion and return loss, termination techniques, BGA breakout strategies, and fabrication material selection.\n\nKnowledge of test procedures and equipment, particularly RF measurement tools such as VNAs and TDRs.\n\nProficient with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and capable of producing technical documentation.\n\nPhysical Requirements\n\nMust be sufficiently mobile to work within confined spaces and have both visual and hearing acuity.\n\nSpecial Requirements\n\nU.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\n\nPay Range : $154,500 - $197,900\n\nBenefits : HRL offers a generous and very competitive total compensation and benefits package. Our Regular/Full Time benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K match, gym facilities, PTO, Sick time, upward mobility, and an exciting and challenging work environment.\n\nFor more information about our company benefit offerings please visit: https://www.hrl.com/careers/benefits\n\nNon-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunities (U.S.)\nDon’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At HRL, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
