Staff Electrical Engineer

Job Description

As a Staff Electrical Engineer at Red 6, you will play a key role in the design and development of advanced electronics for aerospace applications. You will design high-reliability printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) capable of withstanding harsh environments and compliant with relevant military standards. You will be responsible for developing hardware that interfaces with aircraft mission systems and safety-critical systems. This work will span the full product lifecycle — from concept and schematic capture to PCB layout, prototyping, bring-up, and transition to production — with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and compliance. You will also ensure that robust electrical engineering processes are followed and continuously improved to maintain consistency, traceability, and compliance across projects. Responsibilities Lead the architecture, design, development, and integration of electronic hardware for aerospace AR systems. Own schematic capture, component placement, and PCB layout. Perform prototyping, hardware bring-up, validation, and transition to production for custom CCAs/PCBAs. Ensure compliance with environmental, EMC, and MIL-STD requirements for aerospace hardware. Maintain and improve electrical engineering processes, documentation, and design standards. Conduct power and signal integrity simulations to ensure design robustness. Design for and release rigid, flex, and rigid-flex board structures. Work directly with manufacturing fabrication and assembly houses to ensure quality, manufacturability, and schedule alignment. Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and trade studies to ensure robust, sustainable designs. Collaborate with mechanical, software, FPGA, and systems engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions. Select components based on performance, reliability, availability, and cost considerations. Debug and troubleshoot complex hardware issues in both development and fielded systems. Qualifications Required: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. 10+ years of experience in electronics design, with proven delivery of hardware from concept through bring-up and production. Proven track record in designing high-speed digital hardware for aerospace or similarly regulated industries. Experience with: High-speed memory (DDR3/DDR4), PCIe 3.0/4.0, DisplayPort, USB 3.0, Ethernet MIPI standards Display and camera system integration Microcontroller-based designs FPGA-based designs (AMD/Xilinx preferred) Power circuit design Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for test (DFT). Experience working with manufacturing fabrication and assembly houses. Experience with power and signal integrity simulation tools. Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium Designer preferred). Skilled in using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies). Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities. Preferred: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. Experience with aerospace environmental qualification testing (DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461). Experience with mixed-signal design.
