Top Engineering Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead and develop a team of Program Quality Engineers across the Missile Warning portfolio. Drive program quality plans, root-cause investigations (8D), APQP/AS9145 activities, FMEA, control plans, capability studies, FAI, non-conformance tracking and SPC. Collaborate with program management, engineering, operations and suppliers to reduce CoPQ, ensure contract and regulatory compliance, and deliver continuous improvement and on-time product delivery.

Develop and demonstrate advanced EO/IR sensors, lasers, optical systems, algorithms, and prototypes for military and commercial applications. Responsibilities include modeling, simulation, laboratory and field testing, optical system analysis, proposal development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and direct interaction with government R&D customers. The role requires expertise in optical systems and modeling tools, US citizenship, and eligibility to obtain a security clearance.

Leads advanced FPGA and digital design from concept through delivery for mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Architects and implements FPGA solutions using VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, and major FPGA platforms; performs synthesis, timing analysis, verification, simulation, and hardware-software integration. Supports proposals, technical reviews, lab and flight-test integration, documentation, configuration management, and design optimization. Provides technical leadership and mentorship while managing schedules, budgets, and cross-functional collaboration.

Design and develop embedded software for avionics, flight controls, engine controls, vehicle power systems, and other safety-critical applications. Responsibilities span requirements development, software design, implementation, integration, testing, and lifecycle planning. Engineers use embedded development environments and low-level programming for PowerPC and ARM processors, collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor colleagues, and may lead technical discussions with customers.

Design, develop, test, and optimize software for Software Defined Radio systems supporting electronic warfare capabilities. Implement signal-processing and jamming algorithms, integrate software with hardware, troubleshoot defects, participate in code reviews, create technical documentation, and collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers in an Agile environment.

Design, develop, test, and optimize high-performance software for Software Defined Radio systems supporting electronic warfare and RF signal processing. Implement modulation, demodulation, signal analysis, and jamming algorithms; integrate software with hardware; troubleshoot defects; participate in code reviews; and create technical documentation. Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers in an Agile environment while improving development processes and tools.

Leads technical strategy for the ACES electronic warfare product line, partnering with business development and customers to develop technical solutions. Responsibilities include architecture trade studies, requirements development for RF systems, proposal technical volumes and white papers, customer presentations, and cross-disciplinary hardware, software, and firmware integration. The role requires substantial systems engineering leadership and experience with electronic warfare, radar, communications, missile systems, and RF transceiver development.

Leads approximately 20 manufacturing engineers supporting electronics assembly, product design challenges, new product introduction, and transition to production. Manages NRE activities, equipment and fixtures, process documentation, pilot-line processes, continuous improvement, and production problem resolution. Partners with engineering and factory teams to incorporate manufacturability feedback, while owning engineering team quality, schedule, cost, staffing, mentoring, and development.

Leads production testing for infrared and optical modules and circuit card assemblies. Designs test processes, validates equipment, maintains documentation, supports factory transitions, and drives preventive maintenance and process qualifications. Provides technical guidance, trains personnel, troubleshoots production issues, improves yield, conducts root-cause and corrective-action activities, manages test-resource procurement, and represents the test team in audits, customer engagements, and production readiness efforts.

Leads FPGA design verification for electronic warfare systems by architecting SystemVerilog, UVM, OVM, and VHDL testbenches; developing constrained-random test plans; analyzing coverage; creating reusable verification IP; improving methodologies; and mentoring or leading verification teams. The role requires collaboration across sites, schedule and task management, and onsite work.
