Senior Electrical Engineer

At ARA we are driven by a passion for developing innovative solutions to challenging problems of national importance.

Our culture rewards autonomy and initiative and we foster a stable environment where personal and professional growth are prioritized.

For this position we are looking for highly skilled electrical engineers to develop cutting-edge technology for the United States Department of Defense within our Military Embedded Systems and Applications group.

As part of our team, you will help develop custom hardware and firmware solutions supporting a variety of applications, including augmented reality technology used by the US Army and others to improve the situational awareness of our soldiers on the battlefield.

ARA’s ARC4 augmented reality solution provides accurate, timely information so that teams can make the right decisions and operate with enhanced safety and speed.

It is not an overstatement to say that this capability will save lives, by improving coordination, decisiveness, and communication.

Specifically, we need engineers and scientists who have the ability and interest to design complex embedded systems, including architecture development, detailed design, schematic capture, PCB layout.

Experience with FPGA RTL development and simulation is strongly preferred, but not required.

Candidates with an entrepreneurial spirit who are seeking opportunities for personal and professional growth in a stable environment are strongly encouraged to apply.
