Job Description:
Are you passionate about providing real impact to the country's
toughest national security problems?
Do you love building and prototyping robust electrical systems?
Whether it be a quick reaction need from the field or the long term
development of a novel capability, we work hand in hand with our
government sponsors to conceive and realize solutions to their most
challenging problems. We leverage our diverse set of capabilities
in integrated circuit, printed circuit board (PCB), embedded
software, field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and signal
processing design to create ultra-small, low-power solutions that
exceed comparable commercial alternatives.
We are seeking a versatile senior electronics design engineer to
help us advance the state-of-the-art in miniature sensor systems
for a wide range of applications. In this role, you will focus
heavily on the trades of size, weight, and power (SWaP) as you
design systems for ultimate performance, whether it be for a
handheld/body-worn or a high-bandwidth DSP or FPGA application. You
will have the opportunity to work across the full design cycle,
including tasks such as: concept development, schematic capture,
circuit simulation, ASIC and FPGA design, PCB design, product
mechanical integration, battery selection, environmental
suitability, device fabrication, and device testing and final
qualification. As a result, you will get to work with a
multidisciplinary team of highly-talented electrical, software,
mechanical, and materials engineers as you integrate your designs
into the greater system. Microelectronics (including custom ASIC
development and packaging)
Sensor systems (audio, image, motion, etc.)
As a senior electronics design engineer...
You will conceive, design, and evaluate solutions that may require
knowledge of sensors, discrete analog/RF circuit design, power
supply design, and interfacing with microcontrollers/FPGAs/custom
ASICs.
You will ensure device reliability through rigorous testing under
real-world conditions.
You will additionally perform as a project manager for moderate
sized tasks.
Possess a BS in engineering or other related discipline.
Have 6+ years of experience specifically designing and testing
custom hardware to include RF ASIC technology, with at least 4
years of experience with RF and/or high-speed digital design.
Are skilled at using ASIC design tools such as Cadence.
Have a working knowledge of laboratory test equipment such as power
supplies, oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, waveform
generators, and vector network analyzers.
Have experience managing projects on the order of $1M funding per
year, or teams of 3 or more staff.
Have demonstrated experience mentoring junior staff.
Are willing and able to occasionally travel and work extended hours
in support of technical tasks.
Are able to obtain a TS/SCI security clearance. If selected, you
will be subject to a government security clearance investigation
and must meet the requirements for access to classified
information. Possess a MS or beyond in engineering, physics, or
other related discipline.
Have extensive knowledge in ASIC technology such as material
selection, etc.
Have some background in microelectronics integration such as
chip-on-board, chip-scale packaging, chip depackaging, and
wirebonding.
Have experience with 3D CAD tools suitable for concept mockups or
component modeling.
Have software development skills suitable for developing automation
tools, test interfaces, etc.
Are comfortable around rework tools such as a soldering iron, hot
air pencil, or IR rework station.
Our employees enjoy generous benefits, including a robust education
assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, and a
healthy work/life balance. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color,
religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation,

APL is committed to promoting an innovative environment that
embraces diversity, encourages creativity, and supports inclusion
of new ideas. In doing so, we are committed to providing reasonable
accommodation to individuals of all abilities, including those with
disabilities.
