Electrical Engineer I

Job Overview:

This position is for an Electronics Design Engineer who will work in the Electrical Engineering group and report to the Electrical Engineering Manager.

The ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of electronic design, power supply design, analog circuitry, embedded systems, etc.

Responsibilities will include the layout of new or existing PWB/PCB designs, debug and testing of new designs, component design, starting from the product concept to breadboard proof of circuitry, to prototypes and production release.

Work includes preparation of project proposals; circuit design and analysis; PC board layout concept & requirements; mechanical design supervision and concept formulation; stress and reliability analysis of circuitry; component specification, de-rating and selection; cost analysis; and preparation of product documentation.

The individual will be responsible for the design of new products and the upgrading of existing products to reduce cost, add features, improve performance & reliability, and to incorporate embedded technology in those designs.

Experience with SPICE and design software (Cadence, Mentor Graphics, or Altium), circuit miniaturization, and high voltage technology are highly preferred.

This position requires strong communication skills (verbal and written) delivered in a timely manner and may include daily interaction with engineers at other Elbit locations.

The candidate may be required to prepare and maintain project schedules, and to support the activities of electronics technicians and interns.

The individual will be expected to work in a hands-on manner and working as a team or individual contributor.

Job Responsibilities:


* Develop electronic controls for the next-generation Elbit America products
