Electrical Engineer (Robotics)

Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!:

Axient is seeking several Electrical Engineers (Robotics) to support the development, design, test, and manufacturing of electronic Motion Control products and systems. These positions are primarily located in Altadena, CA, with additional locations in Boulder, CO or Hyattsville, MD areas.  Given that these are collaborative, laboratory-based roles, remote or hybrid is not an option. 

Support a multi-disciplinary project team collaborating on multi-board designs through development, and eventually transitioning a flight-ready product to the manufacturing and test engineering teams. 

• Embedded system design, including: Schematic Capture and PCB Layout, Digital, Analog, and Mixed Signal Design
• Board-level communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN)
• Controlled impedance for high-speed channel design (SpaceWire, 10GbE, SerDes)
• Linear and Switch Mode DC/DC Power Conversion
• Documentation (Test Procedures & Reports, Interface Control Documents, ECOs)
• Design Analysis and Simulation (WCA/WCCA, Reliability, Radiation, Spice)
• Cable and Wire Harness Design
• Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI)
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited technical college or university in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 3+ years of relevant work experience
• Eligibility for clearance and/or access in this instance requires US citizenship
• Experience with embedded system design, including: Schematic Capture and PCB Layout, Digital, Analog, and Mixed Signal Design
• Board-level communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN)
• Controlled impedance for high-speed channel design (SpaceWire, 10GbE, SerDes)
• Linear and Switch Mode DC/DC Power Conversion
• Documentation (Test Procedures & Reports, Interface Control Documents, ECOs)
• Design Analysis and Simulation (WCA/WCCA, Reliability, Radiation, Spice)
• Cable and Wire Harness Design
• Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI)
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
• Extensive experience in prototype development, debug, and test in a lab environment
• Demonstrable experience designing and launching products in regulated environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience designing motion control and electromechanical systems for harsh space environments
• EEE-INST-002 and radiation-hardness/mitigation
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Generation of technical proposal content and labor/cost estimation
• Altium Designer
• BS degree in STEM

Familiarity with:

• DSP and Microcontroller firmware development in C
• FPGA Design (Verilog and VHDL)
• System and functional requirements generation
