## Description

Quest Defense Systems and Solutions is seeking a motivated Digital Design Electrical Engineer to support the design and development of cutting-edge digital electronics for missile guidance, video processing, and digital signal processing applications. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to create advanced digital circuits using high-speed processors, FPGAs, configurable logic, and multiprocessor architectures.

This position involves full lifecycle hardware ownership-from requirements and architecture through design, simulation, integration, and test.

We are hiring Electrical Engineers at various levels!, * Design, analyze, simulate, test, and integrate digital electronic modules and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for missile applications.

 * Develop complex hardware designs incorporating processors, FPGAs, memory devices, and high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and UART.

 * Perform requirements creation and analysis, parts selection, and system-level trade studies.

 * Create system architectures and block diagrams.

 * Conduct schematic capture and support PCB layout development, including applying design constraints and performing signal/power integrity analysis.

 * Execute lab bring-up, hardware checkout, integration, and functional verification using test plans and standard lab equipment.

 * Collaborate closely in a team-based engineering environment to deliver high-reliability solutions.
 * (For senior-level candidates) Lead development efforts from concept through production; provide technical oversight and mentoring.
