Staff Electrical Engineer

Job Summary

The Staff Electrical Engineer is a senior technical contributor within SlingWorks, one of Elbit America's most advanced engineering teams developing next‑generation targeting and mission‑system technologies.

In this role, you will lead complex board‑level electrical designs, contribute to system architecture decisions, and drive subsystem‑level electrical integration while remaining hands‑on throughout the full hardware lifecycle.You will solve challenging engineering problems, guide the development of advanced PCBAs, integrate processors, sensors, and high‑speed interfaces, and collaborate closely with other senior engineers to co‑develop robust, high‑reliability electrical architectures.

You will mentor junior engineers, lead design execution on major programs, and ensure the delivery of high‑quality, mission‑critical hardware.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the design and development of complex electrical and board‑level hardware, including schematic capture, component selection, and interface definition
• Contribute to electrical architecture decisions across digital, analog, mixed‑signal, and power domains
• Integrate processors, sensors, high‑speed digital interfaces, and supporting electronics at the subsystem level
• Support and help define FPGA electrical integration strategies (no RTL required)
• Direct PCB layout activities to ensure signal integrity, EMC/EMI robustness, manufacturability, and compliance
• Lead board bring‑up, electrical debug, validation, and root‑cause analysis in lab environments
• Develop and implement test plans, validation strategies, and debug methodologies for program hardware
• Drive resolution of electrical issues across prototype and low‑rate production builds
• Lead electrical design for SWaP‑constrained systems, including power distribution, power integrity, efficiency, and thermal considerations
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, and embedded software teams to ensure effective system‑level integration
• Participate in architecture reviews, technical trade studies, and design reviews
• Support DFM/DFT approaches and help transition designs from prototype to manufacturing
• Perform and interpret electrical analysis, modeling, and simulation to reduce technical risk
• Provide mentoring, technical guidance, and constructive design reviews for junior and mid‑level engineers
• Work collaboratively with other Staff and Senior Staff engineers to ensure cohesive system‑level solutions

What Success Looks Like

• Delivers robust, producible board‑level designs with minimal redesign cycles
• Acts as a strong technical mentor and reliable senior contributor within the team
• Demonstrates sound engineering judgment in system‑level tradeoffs and design decisions
• Communicates effectively across disciplines and helps drive clarity in complex technical discussions
• Consistently elevates hardware quality, reli...
