About the role
Position: Principal Electrical Analog Design Engineer
Location: Redmond, WA (100% Onsite)
Job Type: Full-Time / Contract
Work Authorization: No visa sponsorship available
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly sophisticated Principal Electrical Analog Design Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and systems engineering for advanced sensing and electronic solutions within the aerospace sector. This high-impact role requires an elite combination of deep analog circuit expertise and rigorous mathematical system-level modeling to deliver cutting-edge hardware from concept through verification. If you possess a mastery of signal processing, linear systems analysis, and high-precision electronics design, we invite you to drive innovation on our technical leadership team.
Key Responsibilities:
Advanced Circuit & System Design: Architect, design, and test high-precision analog and digital circuits, systems, and subsystems for aerospace applications.
Mathematical Modeling & Analysis: Perform linear systems analysis, numerical analysis, and simulation to validate technical compliance with subsystem and system-level requirements.
Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate complex test procedures, drive hardware execution, and thoroughly evaluate data compliance against strict mission-critical standards.
Technical Leadership & Reviews: Prepare and deliver comprehensive design review presentations to leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional engineering teams.
Supplier & Lifecycle Management: Collaborate with technical suppliers to ensure component and manufacturing compliance while meeting demanding project schedules and budgets.
Must-Have Skills & Qualifications
Education:
Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering (highly preferred) or a Bachelor's degree with equivalent deep technical expertise.
Experience:
Minimum of 10+ years of dedicated experience in analog circuit design and high-precision systems engineering.
Systems Analysis & Signal Processing: Deep theoretical and practical command of Linear Systems Analysis, Signal Processing, Laplace Transforms, and Fourier Analysis.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Strong expertise in DSP principles, Z-Transforms, and Digital Filter Design.
Engineering & Math Simulation Tools: Mastery of Matlab, Simulink, and Spice design/simulation platforms.
Data Mastery: Proven capability in numerical data analysis, circuit simulations, and verification testing.
Preferred Skills:
- (Nice to Have)
- Direct experience with sensor architectures, advanced instrumentation, or aerospace-related electronics.
- Mastery of complex data methods including Regression, Curve Fitting, and Finite Difference Methods.
- Familiarity with Six Sigma methodologies and continuous engineering improvement frameworks.
- Excellent presentation, communication, and cross-functional leadership capabilities.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
