Job Description

Day-to-Day:
Insight Global is seeking an Electrical Engineer with a blend of electronic/electrical hardware design and embedded firmware/software exposure to support a variety of active programs for a company in Huntsville, AL. This engineer will design, prototype, test, and verify the performance of complex electronic systems and modules for Munitions and other energetics‑related systems.
This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who enjoys owning designs end‑to‑end—from initial concept and schematic development through prototyping, integration, and testing. Engineers in this role will not be pigeonholed into a single function and will contribute across multiple phases of development and multiple programs.

Overview:
Apply systems, hardware, and software knowledge, as applicable, to the design of new products and the redesign / modification of existing systems and components. Perform analyses and trade studies. Provide technical input to specifications that support system and module design and enhancement. Evaluate and recommend options and alternatives for system and module level components.

Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and support embedded, microcontroller‑based electronic systems integrated into end products.
• Design Electronic circuits, including digital, analog and power distribution·
• Create schematics and PCB layouts using appropriate CAD software
• Design Electrical interfaces and cabling
• Lead, perform, and/or support Electrical system integration, test, and analysis.
• Interface embedded systems with peripherals such as:
○ RF modules / radios (immediate program need)
○ Sensors and other external devices
• Own designs from creation through prototyping and testing, ensuring functional and reliable hardware.
• Support multiple programs simultaneously, adapting to varying technical requirements.
• Participate in a balanced mix of design, integration and testing, and technical documentation.
(with a strong emphasis on hands‑on engineering over purely theoretical or paper design work)
• Perform hands‑on tasks including interconnects, wiring, cable integration, and prototype fabrication.
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support program objectives.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

Required Skills & Experience

Requirements:
• BS or BA in Engineering Science with 7+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience preferred.
• Background combining electronic/electrical hardware design with embedded firmware/software exposure.
• Ability to obtain or maintain a DoD security clearance.
• Experience interfacing with RF systems, radios, or antennas, and familiarity with RF principles including use of radios within embedded systems.
• Good working knowledge of embedded electronics within a System‑of‑Systems environment, including EMI/EMC requirements, with experience in microcontroller‑based designs encompassing sensors, data acquisition, mixed‑signal, and high‑speed circuitry, and exposure to related electrical disciplines.
• Experience with C programming, testing, and debugging real‑time embedded products.
• Hands‑on experience building, prototyping, and testing hardware; Experience building circuit boards and higher‑fidelity prototypes
• Ability to translate system requirements into clear schematics and functional designs.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and electrical design tools (KiCad is what they use).
• Comfortable working across design, integration, testing, and documentation activities.
• Strong technical documentation skills for design, manufacturing, testing, reports, presentations, and proposals.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

Nice‑to‑Have Qualifications:
• PCB development experience (not required; willingness to learn is important)
• Exposure to PCB layout tools and SPICE simulation
• Power supply design and testing
• FPGA / VHDL design and testing
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and high‑volume production experience

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
