Description

Today, Electronic Warfare (EW) is a growing enterprise - protecting the warfighter and our national security against ever-adapting threats. The Leidos Innovations Center (LInC) at Leidos currently has an opening for a mid-level electrical engineer to support cutting-edge programs in San Diego. As an electrical engineer on these programs, you will join a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary team of signal processing and software engineers who are developing state-of-the-art technology that advances government technology from seabed to space.

The selected individual will design, develop, integrate and test high-speed printed circuit boards for system-on-chip (SoC) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). He/she is expected to perform a wide range of functions to include hardware design, firmware development, manufacturing oversight, system integration, and test. The selected individual must possess a strong understanding of prototype circuit design, small form factor PCBs, SoC components, and radio frequency (RF) hardware for use in embedded systems. This includes application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), digital signal processors (DSP), and data converters. He/she must also possess a background in circuit board test and analysis to include power, thermal, mechanical testing procedures, test setup, and special test equipment. The selected candidate must also possess a sound knowledge of radar concepts as well as a good understanding of algorithm implementation and hardware/software implementation.

Primary responsibilities:

Design and integrate high-speed circuit boards to support a diverse array of signal processing applications

Perform trade studies for part and architecture decisions

Develop hardware specifications

Size FPGAs, SoCs, ASICs for digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm implementation
