Teams at First Order Effects

Own electrical hardware development from requirements and architecture through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, debugging, testing, documentation, and production release. Design mixed-signal, power, communications, and instrumentation boards for demanding environments. Build test fixtures, support manufacturing and field deployment, investigate failures, and collaborate with mechanical, thermal, firmware, test, and supply-chain teams. The role requires hands-on ECAD layout, production hardware experience, and cross-functional engineering judgment.

Design and own secure production networks and hardware-in-the-loop test systems for power infrastructure. Configure switches, routers, VLANs, subnets, firewalls, WAN failover, and secure remote access. Develop Python automation and test software on Linux, integrating with C/C++ firmware and product software. Build systems for hardware products from concept through deployment, with strong ownership of network security and embedded or hardware environments.

Own revenue operations for the growth team, including CRM administration, pipeline hygiene, dashboards, forecasting, market and competitive analysis, customer engagement coordination, briefing leadership, and follow-up tracking. The role requires federal budget and defense-market research, capture support, and clear communication of actionable recommendations to senior leadership. It is an on-site position in the Arlington, Virginia area or Austin, Texas, with situational telework.
