Overview:
We are searching for an energetic and highly motivated candidate to join its Electrical Hardware Engineering organization. The Electrical Systems Engineer is responsible for the design and development of rugged military electrical systems and/or subsystems for ground, shipboard, and/or airborne applications. These systems include Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTs) modules, custom circuit card assemblies (CCA) and modules, existing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), interconnect/cabling, and SW/FW for DOD applications. Candidates must exhibit a high degree of initiative and sound judgment, working independently and as a member of the Electrical Hardware Development Team. It is essential the individual be capable of adapting to changing conditions and work cooperatively in a team environment.
Duties:
- The candidate shall architect electrical systems and subsystems performing requirement review, analysis, and derivation; performing trade studies for critical subsystem and component selection; performing system and circuit analysis on power schemes and digital and analog interfaces.
- The candidate shall design electrical systems to meet a set of requirements, sometimes defining those requirements. The candidate may be required to utilize analog electronics simulation tools such as SPICE and power conversion simulation programs like SIMPLIS or SABER to model design performance.
- The candidate shall have familiarity with component selection and schematic capture. The candidate shall guide other team members in electrical schematic capture and Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout and technical drawing creation.
- The candidate may be required to utilize analysis and simulation tools like Mathcad and MATLAB to assess electrical design performance and robustness. The candidate shall be able to lead the electrical design team in developing and performing design reviews, system integration, and system verification and validation testing.
Qualifications:
- A minimum of ten years professional work experience required, or seven years’ experience with a Master’s degree in a STEM related discipline.
- Strong planning and organizational skills with ability to be adaptable to changing priorities and assignments.
- Must have design, analysis, and/or test experience with military electronic systems.
- Must be proficient in electrical circuit analysis with experience using SPICE (or similar), and other circuit simulation tools.
- Must have experience and proficiency in COTS and/or subsystem integration.
- Must have experience designing and testing to environmental standards, such as MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461.
- Must be proficient in requirements analysis, derivation, tracing, and management.
- Must be a self-starter, a quick learner, and be able to function in a dynamic environment, and have good time management skills.
- Must have strong teaming skills, and good communication skills.
