- Design and develop high-efficiency switch-mode power supply architectures for image processing, embedded processing, and Receiver/Exciter systems

- Develop power conversion solutions with output requirements ranging from less than 1 mW to greater than 10 kW

- Design subsystem and module-level circuits for custom and commercial-off-the-shelf systems using COTS and MIL-STD interfaces

- Collaborate with system, subsystem, and hardware engineers to define requirements, develop circuit topologies, and support printed wiring board layouts

- Perform schematic capture, SPICE simulation, laboratory verification, integration, and formal qualification testing

- Prototype, test, troubleshoot, and debug complex power systems, switch-mode topologies, and linear regulators

- Verify designs against electrical, mechanical, environmental, electromagnetic environmental effects, and EMI/EMC requirements

- Support compliance with MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, DO-160, TEMPEST, and applicable customer requirements

- Lead technical projects and mentor engineers within the power design engineering team

- Maintain design documentation, revision control, configuration management, and review records throughout the product lifecycle

- Support RF and EO DSP, controls, data links, gigabit serial interfaces, and embedded processing applications
