What this job asks for AI summary
A senior electrical engineering role focused on complex digital hardware for space applications. The position involves leading a design team across the full program lifecycle — from architecture development and board-level design through lab debug, system integration, and environmental qualification testing. The role suits an experienced engineer comfortable owning both technical direction and cross-disciplinary coordination, including work with FPGAs, microprocessors, ASICs, and signal integrity analysis.
Senior level · 10+ years · Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO · Bachelor's required · Full-time

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is primarily a hardware/electrical engineering position focused on digital board design, FPGA development, and system integration for space electronics — not a software or IT occupation. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Hardware Engineers, All Other) is the closest available code; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is noted as an alt given the FPGA and embedded software components, but hardware design is clearly the primary day-to-day work.
SEAKR Engineering is headquartered in Centennial, CO (Denver metro). No explicit city is stated in the posting, but the company's known location is used for the CBSA.
US Citizenship is explicitly required, though no formal security clearance level is stated as a gate.
A Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering.
Skills such as 'embedded system design', 'RF electronics design', 'single board computers', and 'embedded software design' appear under the 'desired' qualifier in the qualifications section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
'Power integrity (PI) analysis' appears in the job duties narrative alongside SI analysis; it is marked preferred since it is not explicitly called out as a standalone requirement in the qualifications section.
Ignored 7 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): digital circuit design, FPGA design, hardware verification and debug, worst case analysis, embedded system design, RF electronics design, embedded software design.
SOC 15-1299 is "Computer Occupations, All Other", but this role was labelled "Computer Hardware Engineers, All Other" — the code and title disagree, so the occupation (and its BLS denominator) may be wrong.
