We are seeking an Electrical Engineer II with hands-on experience in hardware emulation, component‑level hardware troubleshooting, and system integration. This role focuses on working with high-speed electronic systems, configuring and programming individual hardware components, and supporting secure development practices. The candidate will contribute to design verification, prototype bring-up, and cross-functional engineering collaboration. This position is onsite in our McKinney, TX campus.

Configure and operate hardware emulation platforms to evaluate system performance and behavior. Troubleshoot and program individual hardware components including microcontrollers, transceivers, sensors, and communication devices. Integrate, test, and validate hardware involving high-speed interfaces and networked systems. Diagnose issues related to signal integrity, communication protocols, timing, and component interactions. Support lab activities such as hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, and test execution. Develop scripts or small utilities to automate configuration, testing, or data capture. Apply DevSecOps principles to ensure hardware, firmware, and supporting tools meet security best practices. Prepare clear documentation including test results, configuration guides, and design review materials. Collaborate with systems, firmware, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration.

You Must Have Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience. Experience in hardware troubleshooting, component‑level programming, or system integration. Experience with high‑speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, or similar. Experience with programming or scripting tools (C, Python, or similar) for component configuration. Experience using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and power instrumentation.

We Prefer Understanding of networking fundamentals (switching, routing, protocols). Experience working with hardware emulation or FPGA‑based prototyping platforms. Knowledge of DevSecOps practices (secure coding, configuration management, automated validation). Exposure to system cybersecurity concepts applied to embedded or networked hardware. Experience with configuration management tools or CI/CD pipelines. Familiarity with embedded Linux, real-time operating systems, or network testing tools. Strong analytical skills and problem‑solving abilities.
