Create work instructions, track equipment and process metrics, support failure analysis and corrective actions, engage suppliers, implement equipment, and ensure production readiness and quality for high-reliability aerospace/defense electronics.

Lead multiple cross-functional hardware and software development programs from concept through delivery. Own schedule, scope, budget, risk management and stakeholder communication. Coordinate engineering, integration, test, quality, and documentation teams, resolve resource conflicts, implement process improvements, and ensure projects meet customer expectations and timelines. Influence senior leadership and improve development practices.

Lead complex HDI PCB and substrate layout for rugged, high-density microelectronics in aerospace and defense. Drive design, layout, and analysis of interposers, substrates, and multi-die flip-chip packages; manage high-speed interfaces, DFM alignment, fabrication drawings, CAM validation, and cross-functional design trades while supporting program-level technical direction.

Lead architecture and end-to-end board‑level hardware design for ruggedized, high‑speed embedded systems (FPGA, secure processing, 400G+ Ethernet, PCIe Gen5+, DDR5). Define engineering standards, ensure DFM/DFA/DFT, collaborate across disciplines, support proposals, and mentor engineering teams to deliver reliable defense/aerospace products.

Lead Employee Relations and serve as HR Business Partner for Legal and Signal Technologies. Conduct complex investigations, develop and implement compliant policies and HR processes, coach managers, support compensation, talent and performance programs, and present HR solutions to drive employee engagement and business results.

Lead design, development, verification, and bring-up of rugged, high-reliability embedded digital board-level hardware for aerospace and defense. Own architectures using high-speed interfaces (FPGA, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet), mentor junior engineers, collaborate with CAD/SI and manufacturing, and drive producibility, test, and verification from concept to production.

Design, analyze, and test rugged subsystems and complex PCB assemblies for aerospace/defense. Lead product lifecycle from concept to production, create 3D models and drawings, perform thermal and structural analysis, support environmental testing to MIL‑STD‑810, develop BOMs, manage ECO/ECRs, and collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and procurement.

Lead end-to-end systems engineering for edge processing subsystems: define architecture, manage requirements and interfaces, drive integration/verification, support captures and production transition, and coordinate across engineering, program management, and customers.

Lead RF circuit design from concept through production, perform RF architecture and simulation, characterize and test RF performance, mentor engineers, collaborate on integration, and support customers, suppliers, and manufacturing for defense-grade RF/microwave products.

Lead architecture and development of rugged board‑level hardware for high‑speed embedded systems. Design and verify advanced digital circuits (400G+, PCIe Gen5+, DDR5+), mentor engineers, establish hardware standards, support proposals, and drive DFM/DFA/DFT with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑reliability defense/aerospace solutions.

Lead firmware development for embedded and enterprise systems, define architecture and test plans, manage team tasks and status, support design bring-up and system validation, present status to leadership/customers, and collaborate with test, systems, and support teams to reproduce and resolve customer issues. Requires security clearance eligibility.

Lead and conduct functional, environmental, stress, and security testing of avionics and data processing hardware. Develop test equipment and procedures (ATP/QTP/FTP), troubleshoot PCBA and system failures, produce test reports and contractual deliverables, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure qualification, verification, and regulatory compliance across the product lifecycle.

Lead detailed design and support of complex RF/microwave products across lifecycle. Provide technical proposal input, product support, troubleshooting, test/simulation, RCA, production transfer, and mentor engineers while acting as technical lead.

Design and deliver ruggedized, mission-critical embedded digital hardware from concept through production.
