Jobs at Sigma Design

Designs, develops, tests, troubleshoots, and integrates complex electrical and PCB-based hardware for autonomous defense systems. Responsibilities include schematic capture, PCB layout, power and embedded electronics design, circuit analysis, board bring-up, qualification testing, hardware debugging, root-cause analysis, and production support. The engineer collaborates cross-functionally through the full product lifecycle and uses laboratory equipment, communication protocols, and technical documentation to deliver reliable hardware.

Develop and scale manufacturing processes for advanced hardware prototypes from concept through pilot production. Lead DFM/DFx, system integration, process validation, tooling, fixtures, documentation, and quality control initiatives. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external manufacturers across electromechanical, polymer, adhesive, lamination, and textile processes. Troubleshoot manufacturing challenges, drive continuous improvement, mentor junior engineers, and provide technical leadership in a fast-paced R&D environment.

Lead development and scaling of manufacturing processes for advanced hardware prototypes through pilot production. Drive DFM/DFx, process validation (DOE), tooling, work instructions, quality control, troubleshoot production issues, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to grow in-house manufacturing capabilities.

Leads and mentors a multidisciplinary engineering team while providing technical direction across electrical, electronics, and software disciplines. Oversees product development from concept through manufacturing, manages engineering priorities and resources, and ensures robust verification, validation, configuration, and development practices. Partners with manufacturing, quality, program management, and senior leadership to guide technical and business decisions. The role is hands-on and suited to an experienced engineering leader comfortable developing customized hardware and software products in a small organization.

Provides strategic and technical leadership for engineering teams designing custom packaging and food-processing equipment. Oversees projects from concept through commissioning, reviews mechanical designs and documentation, coordinates resources and schedules, and partners with manufacturing, sales, vendors, customers, and leadership. Leads troubleshooting, design improvements, manufacturability initiatives, engineering standards, and technical decision-making across multiple projects. Occasional U.S. travel is required for commissioning, startups, customer projects, and trade shows.

Designs custom food-processing and packaging machinery from concept through fabrication, installation, commissioning, and startup. Creates mechanical drawings, 3D models, assemblies, bills of materials, and project documentation using SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Coordinates with engineering, manufacturing, sales, vendors, and customers; manages multiple projects, supports troubleshooting and design improvements, and participates in customer site visits, commissioning, startup activities, and occasional trade shows.

Leads the design and implementation of moderately complex control and vision systems. Responsibilities include architecting solutions, programming and integrating PLCs, HMIs, motion systems, robots, drives, sensors, and vision equipment; specifying components; designing compliant electrical systems; supporting enclosure builds and documentation; and conducting testing, validation, FAT, SAT, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer training. The role also interfaces with clients, guides junior engineers, and supports cross-functional delivery.

Operates and independently sets up CNC lathes, mills, and 5-axis machining centers to manufacture parts from blueprints and engineering models. Performs measurements, GD&T interpretation, G&M code edits, tooling and offset adjustments, troubleshooting, and quality checks. Maintains safe work practices, communicates setup information, suggests process improvements, and mentors entry-level machinists. Requires experience with Haas and Kitamura equipment, lathe work, precision measurement, and basic machining controls.

Lead safety and reliability engineering for aerospace products: perform FMEA, fault tree and common-cause analyses, FRACAS support, risk and cybersecurity assessments, apply industry standards and reliability test methods, participate in design reviews, and collaborate with cross-functional teams and customers.

Create, optimize, and simulate CNC programs (primarily Mastercam) for 3-axis (and occasional 5-axis) milling. Set up and operate mills, interpret drawings, ensure quality and tolerances, troubleshoot programs, design workholding/fixtures, support operators, and produce setup and inspection documentation. CMM programming/operation is a plus. Must follow safety protocols and complete post-offer background and drug screening.

Passive talent-network sign-up for engineering and technical professionals. Submit background and interests; recruiting team reviews profiles and may contact candidates for relevant opportunities across engineering, manufacturing, automation, semiconductor, robotics, and technical program management.

Lead reliability engineering across product lifecycle for defense autonomous systems: perform FMEA/FTA, predictive reliability and Weibull analyses, develop and execute qualification and accelerated tests, drive failure investigations and CAPA, establish reliability processes, partner with cross-functional teams to ensure production readiness and maintainability.
