TELECOMMUTE Lead Hardware Engineer - Remote

This role involves leading the design and development of complex electrical boards, including single board computers (SBC), FPGA, switch, and input/output cards in 3U and 6U VPX form factors, as well as custom form-factor systems incorporating software, firmware, and hardware security elements. The ideal candidate brings extensive expertise in electronic components, integrated circuitry, mechanical systems, and DSP systems, with a proven ability to provide technical leadership and deliver complex hardware solutions through design, testing, qualification, and production phases., * Lead collaboration with engineering, project management, test, and operations teams in small, highly integrated, multidisciplinary teams to meet demanding customer requirements.

• Lead the design and development of 3U and 6U VPX SBC, FPGA, switch, and I/O cards supporting high-speed data processing applications.
• Lead the design and development of custom form-factor systems incorporating SBC, FPGA, switch, and I/O cards, power supplies, and thermal management elements, including Liquid-Flow-Through (LFT) methods.
• Provide technical leadership in translating customer requirements into system architectures, functional designs, and hardware solutions.
• Evaluate technical feasibility and recommend design approaches balancing performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Act as a technical lead for hardware development activities, supporting project execution, design reviews, and technical decision-making.
• Lead hardware testing, qualification, and troubleshooting activities to ensure compliance with requirements and customer expectations.
• Establish and promote engineering best practices to improve product performance, reliability, and time-to-market (TTM).
• Develop, review, and maintain technical procedures, design documentation, and engineering manuals.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical direction to support team development and successful project execution.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering required; Master’s degree preferred.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in DoD embedded systems and hardware design, including SBC, FPGA, switch, and I/O card development.
• Extensive experience designing mixed-signal, high-speed digital, analog, and low-power, high-current circuits in high-reliability environments.
• Strong experience designing high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs, including complex multi-layer designs, multi-lamination processes, blind/buried vias, and uVia structures.
• Hands-on experience with Siemens Expedition DX Designer (SCH) and Siemens Expedition PCB tools.
• Ability to lead technical efforts, prioritize competing tasks, drive execution, and deliver results in high-pressure, schedule-driven environments.
• Demonstrated experience providing technical leadership, mentoring engineers, and guiding complex hardware designs from concept through production.
• Strong understanding of hardware architecture, design trade-offs, verification, qualification, and production support.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
• ship required; active DoD security clearance preferred
