  • Lead or support business development initiatives, crafting technical solutions and innovative concepts for capture efforts (e.g., BAAs, RFPs).
  • Oversee a microelectronics design team focused on designing, integrating, and testing complex DSP FPGA designs for EW sensor systems.
  • Collaborate with engineers, scientists, policy makers, and executives from government, industry, and academia nationwide.
  • Provide technical and field support as required to ensure smooth operations.
  • Conduct experimental tests on the latest SoC evaluation boards, analyze results, and establish specifications for selecting next-generation components for our systems.
  • Engage with customers, suppliers, and functional peer groups to ensure alignment and collaboration.
  • Prepare for occasional travel and work at remote locations as needed.
  • Communicate findings through briefings and written materials to your team, customers, and management.
  • Offer strategic technical advice that influences client outcomes and supports Leidos' business objectives.
  • Develop new solutions and operational plans that enhance Leidos' competitive edge in the market.
  • Mentor and coach junior technical staff to foster growth and development.
  • Act as Principal Investigator on complex, multi-disciplinary programs, including field demonstrations of real-time hardware systems.
  • Serve as Technical Lead for multi-disciplinary proposals, guiding the team towards success.

Basic Qualifications

  • Masters degree with 15+ years of relevant experience or Doctorate with 13+ years of relevant experience.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI level clearance.
  • Proven leadership skills in managing complex, multi-disciplinary technical teams or projects.
  • Exceptional oral and written communication skills.
  • Experience in DSP fundamentals and FPGA implementation.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for signal processing tasks.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools and flows (Synopsys, Cadence, etc.) used in microelectronics design.
  • Microelectronics hardware subject matter expertise in at least one of the following areas and experience in one additional area:
    • Microelectronics Supply Chain: hardware verification/security/trust, vendor selection/qualification/audit, domestic foundry procurement.
    • Wafer-Level Design: digital, RF, or mixed signal circuit design, modeling, and simulation.
    • Chip-Scale Design: device packaging design/layout, substrate/interposer design, and related modeling.
    • Hardware Programming: FPGA programming (Verilog, VHDL) and familiarity with scripting/programming languages like Python, C++, and Java.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Experience in idea generation and program capture (proposals, white papers, etc.).
  • Background in a fast-paced Research and Development (R&D) environment.
  • Possession of an active TS or TS/SCI clearance is a plus.

This role plays a crucial part in our mission to support and innovate the defense technologies. Join us and be part of a team that makes a significant impact.
