We are looking for a highly skilled Staff Electronic Engineer to architect and design the physical hardware of our next-generation, ruggedized Open VPX computing platforms. This is a high-impact role requiring a deep "ruggedized mindset" to serve as the technical authority on board-level design, focusing on high-speed signal integrity, power delivery, and thermal survivability. You will be responsible for integrating state-of-the-art Intel Core Ultra and NVIDIA GPUs into physical modules that can survive the most extreme environments on earth. This is a permanent, strategic position. You will not just be looking at a circuit; you will take ownershipof the physical integrity of the hardware, ensuring our designs maintain flawless performance under severe environmental stress.
Key Responsibilities
Ruggedized Hardware Design: Lead the schematic capture and guide the PCB layout of complex 3 U Open VPX modules, ensuring strict alignment with VITA standards.
High-Speed Integrity:
Architect hardware designs that maintain flawless signal integrity for PCIe Gen 5 and 10 G/40 G Ethernet across VPX backplane connectors. Power & Thermal Management: Design robust power distribution networks (VITA 62) and collaborate with mechanical engineers for optimal component placement and heat dissipation in conduction-cooled systems.
Physical Layer Debugging: Troubleshoot complex board-level issues using 16 GHz+ Oscilloscopes and VNAs to solve signal degradation, jitter, or power anomalies.
Root Cause Analysis: Perform deep-dive RCA on physical hardware failures under environmental stress, implementing immediate corrective actions.
Required
Technical Skills Core Hardware Stack: Deep knowledge of Open VPX, PCIe Gen 4/5, high-speed fiber routing, and VITA 62 power standards. Hardware Tools: Expert-level proficiency with Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), high-end Oscilloscopes (16 GHz+), and Time Domain Reflectometers (TDRs) for signal characterization. Design Tools: High proficiency in schema
