You will support products from initial development to end of life, including conceptualization, proposals, development validation, new product introduction, engineering changes, sustaining engineering, manufacturing problem resolution, and quality issues.
What Makes This Role Great
Trimble Military Advanced Systems (TMAS) is a group within Trimble that specializes in advanced positioning, navigation, and timing technologies primarily serving federal defense agencies. TMAS provides sophisticated Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, modules, and related technical solutions, with a primary focus on military and national security applications.
In this role, you will be at the forefront of developing high-performance embedded GPS navigation receivers, directly influencing the safety and efficiency of global aviation and shaping the future of inertial navigation subsystems.
Key Exciting Responsibilities
Lead the life cycle development of circuit card assemblies and programmable logic, taking products from initial conceptualization through to production and sustaining engineering.
Design, implement, and test complex digital, analog, and RF systems, ensuring they meet rigorous functional and reliability requirements for aviation environments.
Manage full-scale development activities including schematic capture, layout, board bring-up, and the creation of critical specification documentation.
Spearhead root cause analysis and corrective actions for legacy products while driving configuration control and production transitions via Agile database management.
Partner with certification and quality leads to ensure every deliverable meets the highest development assurance and global quality standards.
Essential Skills & Experience
10+ Years of Mixed-Signal Expertise: Deep experience in board-level circuit design, specifically for RF signals, high-speed ADCs, and FPGAs.
