Leads improvement and modernization projects, managing schedules and budgets while coordinating spares and providing technical input on system configuration and performance. The role requires field work, working at heights, physical lifting, occasional weekend or non-duty-hour support, relocation to Kwajalein Atoll, U.S. citizenship, and eligibility for a Secret clearance.

The Senior Electrical Engineer will design, test, and debug navigation sensors while leading regulatory activities and qualification testing for space systems. This role demands extensive experience in complex circuit design and familiarity with PCB design and test equipment.

Designs and optimizes aerospace vehicle trajectories and GNC algorithms for launch, re-entry, and intercept missions. Performs simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, sensitivity studies, and flight-test prediction and analysis. Integrates solutions into hardware- and software-in-the-loop environments while collaborating with systems, propulsion, and avionics teams to validate mission requirements and support mission planning.

Lead standardization strategy for optical transport and Ethernet technologies, develop and advocate contributions to standards bodies (ITU‑T, IEEE, OIF, OpenROADM), coordinate with PLMs and R&D, report progress internally, provide technical influence and guidance, and represent Nokia at standards meetings and industry events.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

Designs, develops, tests, and oversees manufacture of PCBs, analog/digital circuits, sensors, motors, and radar/navigation hardware. Architects circuits, performs simulations and layouts, builds and debugs prototypes, prepares manufacturing documentation, mentors junior engineers, and supports testing, deployment, sustainment, and proposals.

The Electrical Hardware Design Engineer will design, develop, and test complex electronic systems, collaborating across engineering disciplines to create solutions for defense and aerospace applications.

Lead hardware integration for shipboard electromechanical assemblies during TMRR, manage requirements, MBSE/Cameo review, verification/validation, integration planning, lab testing, troubleshooting, cross-functional coordination, technical reviews, trade studies, and mentor early-career engineers.

Provides technical leadership and customer support for Marvell switching, PHY, and processor SoC products. Architects hardware solutions, investigates and reproduces hardware and software issues, performs schematic reviews, debugs boot sequencing and customer-reported problems, and supports Linux BSPs, U-Boot, device drivers, and board designs. Serves as a liaison among customers, Avnet field applications engineers, and Marvell engineering teams, while delivering training and occasional customer-site support.

The Software Test Engineer will develop embedded and application software, collaborate with teams, ensure product specifications, and present project updates.

Lead design, architecture, integration, test, and deployment of HWIL systems for GNC, avionics, and missile subsystems. Own requirements, ICDs, wiring, V&V, and TDP configuration control. Manage a small multidisciplinary HWIL team, support TRR/ATP/QTP events, develop BOEs and IMS plans, and coordinate customer/partner deployments and capture support.
