Position Description

Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a talented Senior Electronic System Architect to join a diverse team to create unique solutions for complex problems. With offices across the United States engaging in the defense, space, cyber and commercial fields, Dynetics provides responsive, cost-effective engineering, scientific and IT solutions.

The Product Engineering Department is a design-focused group of engineers specializing in advanced hardware-based solutions. The system architect is a key solution-thinker responsible for assessing the feasibility of new opportunities and developing novel approaches that meet challenging technical requirements. With a product focus, the system architect will actively partner with other engineers, project/proposal managers, technicians, and the customer to develop solutions that adhere to a diverse set of requirements. The individual selected for this position will be a self-motivated design engineer proficient in high-level solution definition and detailed implementation that is comfortable with moving between those roles. The individual must be able to work effectively independently or as part of an inter-disciplinary team at any point in the product lifecycle. The system architect will design and develop electronic solutions for a diverse range of aerospace and military applications including manned/unmanned ground/air vehicles, missiles, defensive radars, and space systems.

The system architect will develop product concepts from internal/external customer requirements and produce system definitions and proposals to present those concepts. The system architect will contribute to engineering development throughout the product lifecycle including detailed development, manufacturing, validation, and customer support, as required. The system architect will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and testing electronic systems including RF, optics, power, mixed-signal, FPGA, and microcontroller-based designs. The system architect will be responsible for product/system integration test planning, setup, and execution, as required. Experience with technical trade studies, architecture definition and electronic system design is required. Solution-oriented troubleshooting skills from board level to system level are required. RF system design experience and manned/unmanned ground vehicle systems experience are strongly desired. Additional skills such as power distribution network design, VHDL proficiency, and use of applicable simulation tools are a plus.

Basic Qualifications

• Candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited institution with a 3.0 or higher GPA
• Candidate must have 10+ years experience in electronic system design from architecture development through detailed design and implementation
• Candidate must be a highly motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently
• Candidate must have experience with interpreting requirements to develop suitable product and solution concepts
• Candidate must be comfortable working at a system level, but diving into the technical details when needed
• Candidates must have demonstrated expertise in multiple domains including digital/analog/mixed signal design, embedded systems, power electronics, RF, systems engineering, or optical system design
• Candidate must have proven experience in design, test, troubleshooting, and manufacture of complex multi-layer electronic circuit card assemblies
• Candidate must have hands-on laboratory experience with instrumentation, test equipment, and debug/test methods
• Position requires candidates to be capable of performing in a collaborative engineering environment working closely with multi-disciplinary teams
• Candidate must have effective written and verbal communication and presentation skills
• Candidates must be a resident of the North Alabama area or willing to relocate to the Huntsville - North Alabama, AL area
