- Integrate sensors (radar, EO/IR, acoustic, RF) into defense platforms
- Collaborate with software, firmware, and systems engineers for full system integration
- Conduct testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems in lab and field environments
- Optimize power distribution and battery systems for portable and fixed defense platforms
- Support EMI/EMC compliance and environmental testing (MIL-STD preferred)
- Analyze system performance and improve reliability and efficiency
- Participate in field deployments and system demonstrations
- Ability to work extended hours and/or some weekends for mission critical deadlines
- Analog and digital circuit design
