Senior Specialist, Digital Hardware Engineer - SDR
Please apply ONLY if you have a BSEE or BSCE and 6+ yearsrelevant experience
United States Citizenship is required due to governmentcontract requirement; we are unable to sponsor at this time.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in electrical/computer engineering or related field. 6+ years of relevant experience (4+ with master's, 10+ years in lieu of a degree). Familiarity with SDR architectures Familiarity with embedded SW/VHDL We are looking for an outstanding Digital Hardware Engineer to play a critical role in advancing the next generation of embedded digital hardware supporting the company's Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories. Reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager, this person will take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle—from conceptualizing high-level requirements to seeing designs move through manufacturing and into the field. This is an opportunity to solve complex integration challenges within a cross-functional environment, ensuring our communication systems meet the highest performance standards. Desired Skills (Not Required)
Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL Configuration management tools (such as Agile) A nuanced understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and the interaction between digital boards and RF circuitry. Experience using embedded software, scripting (e.g., Python), or VHDL to automate design analysis and facilitate rapid troubleshooting. Configuration & Lifecycle Management: Proficiency with Agile PLM software to manage product data and streamline manufacturing introduction. Familiarity with Boundary Scan tools (JTAG) for testing high-density PCBAs where physical probe access is limited. Duties and Responsibilities
High-Speed Digital Protocols: Comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet. Design Simulation & Analysis: Proficient use of simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling. Advanced Architecture & PCB Design: Proven ability to lead the full design cycle—including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/Designer), and complex high-speed layout analysis. Verification & Validation (V&V): Expertise in executing subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to identify and resolve critical hardware defects. Compliance & Reliability Engineering: Experience designing for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhering to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments. Security Clearance Eligibility: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance. Please send resume to apply@amarx.com - Amarx Search, Inc. - amarx.com
