RTX is looking for an Electrical Engineering Intern to assist in the design and development of digital hardware for high-performance communication products used in defense applications, such as software-defined radios and data links for ground, airborne, and space use.
Requirements
- Experience with digital electronics design principles and techniques (e.g. circuit designs using Microprocessor/microcontroller, DSP, FPGA, ADC, DAC, etc.) and experience working with lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Analyzers, etc.)
- Experience with a schematic capture tool (examples may include Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, Siemens Xpedition Enterprise, Cadence Allegro, Altium, KiCad, or etc.) and signal integrity analysis tools (ex. Hyperlynx) for creation of circuit card designs.
- Working knowledge of digital circuit design parameters (e.g., throughput, rise time, clock frequencies, propagation delay). Includes knowledge of computer hardware components (e.g., processors, memory, interfaces), and characteristics (e.g., throughput, processing architecture, timing, capacity).
Responsibilities
- You will perform circuit card design lifecycle activities including requirements capture, schematic capture, design documentation, signal integrity analysis, creation of printed circuit board stackup and routing instructions, coordination and review of printed wiring board layout, creation of test plans, and root cause analysis.
- You will create and analyze electrical schematics.
- You will select components necessary to implement the design requirements.
- You will perform test and troubleshooting of electronic circuitry.
- You will assist with digital hardware factory and field failure root cause analysis.
Other
- Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and student must be pursuing a Bachelor’s or advanced degree in an applicable discipline.
- U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.
- Candidates must be motivated to learn new technologies, a strong team player, and contribute to a positive work environment.
- This role is onsite, in Cedar Rapids, IA.
- This role may be eligible for relocation.
