Job Description

Elbit is currently seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our team and serve as a specialist and Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the areas of signal integrity, power analysis, and electromagnetic simulation of high-speed digital and analog board designs.  The person in this position will be responsible for supporting EE teams across all ESA sites, providing technical input and consulting services in all phases of the design process.

Specific Responsibilities & Tasks 

• During all phases of the design and development process, provide technical input and support to product design teams across ESA in the areas of signal and power integrity and electromagnetic simulation.
• Following schematic capture but prior to PCB layout, work with ESA EEs and PCB designers and external PCB layout service providers, assisting in defining PCB layout specifications, stack-up, trace clearances, trace widths, trace impedances and all other aspects of the board design relating to signal integrity. Aid the designer in establishing constraints in the layout constraint editor system.
• Following PCB layout, analyze the resulting PCB design using ANSYS & Mentor Graphics SI/HFSS tools for potential signal integrity and power integrity issues, interference and coupling issues, and perform 3D EMI analysis.
• Maintain/develop SI model library within the Mentor EDM environment. Build and maintain SI model library (.ibis models) within Mentor flow & ANSYS models.

Qualifications

Educational & Experience Requirements:

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering required and at least 9 years of relevant experience or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering preferred and at least 7 years relevant experience in the industry (defense/government contractor experience preferred but not required). Experience in one or more of the following areas:

• High speed digital design
• High-efficiency switched mode power supply and/or DC-DC converter design
• RF circuit design up to 6GHz
• Analog/mixed signal design

Extensive experience with one or more SI/PI PCB analysis tools such as:

• Mentor Graphics Hyperlynx SI/PI tools for the Expedition workflow.
• ANSYS HFSS/SI wave
• Cadence Sigrity
• Altium  

ESA primarily uses Mentor Graphics Expedition and ANSYS HFSS. Current proficiency with Mentor Graphics schematic capture and SI tools, ANSYS HFSS EM simulation and SIwave is preferred.

The successful candidate will have the ability to function and effectively communicate in a dynamic integrated product team environment, supporting a variety of different programs. The candidate should be experienced in current electronic manufacturing processes and methods, and compact/high density electronic and component packaging techniques and methods.

Additional Information
