Position: Contract Hardware / Principal Electronics Engineer

Title:
Contract Hardware Engineer Mid.

Location:

CW will work onsite at Carson ,CA
Duration: 12 months
This is five days onsite role

Summary:
This role is similar to Principal Electronics Engineer who will be responsible for the research, analysis, design, development, testing, debugging and modification of electronics equipment such as VFMDs (Variable Frequency Motor Drives) for vacuum generators and air compressors (ACIM/BLDC), AC/DC Power Converters (3-Φ), 28V DC Valve Controllers, and W&W System Controllers for commercial aerospace industry.
This role is similar to Principal Electronics Engineer who will take ownership and/or support technical engineering teams and projects related to W&W System Components.
