    • Experience with methodologies to improve quality and testability of printed circuit assemblies from prototype to production, such as “Design for X” or similar methodologies 
  • Experience implementing architectures and designs for:  
    • Prime power-entry, protection, conditioning and distribution 
    • User-facing physical interfaces including design for ESD protection and EMI/EMC 
    • Low speed signaling protocols (SPI, I2C) 
    • High-speed digital signals (MHz+ Clock Signals, DDR) 
    • FPGA and SOC integrations and multi-gigabit ethernet interfaces 
    • High-speed data converters (Gsps+ ADCs or DACs) 
  • Comfortable with a myriad of test methods and tools: 
    • Knowledge of Design-For-Test (DFT) best practices for dense PCBAs and ability to implement them throughout the design process 
    • Experience with Altium (or equivalent) for schematic capture and PCB layout 
    • Ability to Perform Spice simulations for new and existing circuit designs 
    • Experience troubleshooting and testing complex, multi subsystem designs using Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and Digital Multi-Meters 
  • Experience with the technical leadership of small teams of engineers working towards a common design goal 

DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE 
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills) 

  • Scientific coding skills, including MATLAB or Python (or equivalent) for scripting tests 
  • Experience designing circuits for low-frequency RF analog signaling (<3GHz) (Transitions, differential mode transmission lines, microstrip and stripline design) 
  • Working understanding of best practices for power and signal integrity design in PCBAs 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • BS or MS Degree in Engineering or Physics with 5-7 years experience
  • Eligibility to handle export controlled data (ITAR, EAR)

Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations.  Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Echodyne Corp’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
