Description:
The Digital Hardware Engineer II formulates design concepts for digital engineering problems. They also lead internal technical assignments, monitor project scope, and respond to engineering concerns. Ideal candidate would be onsite at our Huntsville, AL location. Optionally, onsite at other Frontgrade locations (Colorado Springs, Carlsbad, York, Hauppauge, Exter, Plainview). Remote is an option with expectations of extended travel to a Frontgrade facility when needed for hardware bring-up or debug.
Responsibilities
