Day to day, you'll work at the component level on analog and digital systems, applying your EMI/RFI background while we develop your expertise in emanations security (TEMPEST/TSG). * Perform component-level design of analog and digital systems, applying strong EMI/RFI design practice * Design and refine filter circuits to minimize interference and preserve signal integrity * Use OrCAD PCB design software (or similar) for schematic capture and PCB layout; experience with Ansys HFSS is a plus * Learn and apply TEMPEST and TSG design standards under the mentorship of senior subject-matter experts * Collaborate with mechanical engineers, TEMPEST engineers, and other disciplines during prototype and production integration * Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to diagnose and resolve production test issues on TEMPEST-compliant units * Evaluate existing systems and recommend design improvements for performance, reliability, and compliance * Travel occasionally (less than 5%) to support project or customer needs Room to Grow As you build TEMPEST expertise and get to know our programs, there's a clear path to greater ownership. Over time - and with support - you'll have the opportunity to take on responsibilities such as: * Serving as a project lead, including schedule and budget oversight * Reviewing and approving schematics, PCB layouts, and drawings for TEMPEST/TSG product development * Becoming a recognized subject-matter expert others rely on These are growth opportunities, not day-one requirements. What You Can Expect * End-to-End Involvement: Contribute across the full engineering lifecycle - concept and design through prototyping, integration, and delivery. * Hands-On Innovation: A blend of desk and lab work, with frequent opportunities to prototype, test, and refine your own designs. * Mentorship Into a Specialty: Learn TEMPEST design directly from established experts, with a structured path to becoming an SME. * Small-Team Impact: Your work won't get lost in layers of hierarchy. You'll be visible and essential. * Mission Relevance: The systems you design directly support real-world defense and intelligence missions. * Fast-Paced Variety: Diverse, fast-moving projects.
