Job Description & How to Apply Below
A confidential space and defense engineering company is looking for a Lead Electrical Systems Engineer to take ownership of the electrical architecture behind complex flight hardware.
This is a role for someone who can lead the electrical direction of a vehicle while remaining close to the detail: making sound design decisions, solving integration issues in the lab and taking hardware through qualification.
What you will do:
- Own electrical-system architecture across avionics, flight electronics, power distribution and vehicle interfaces
- Define electrical requirements, interface-control documentation and integration plans
- Lead schematic, PCB, harness, grounding and electrical-interface design activity
- Support hardware bring-up, debugging, troubleshooting and environmental qualification
- Work closely with systems, software, mechanical, GNC and payload teams to resolve integration challenges
- Provide technical leadership and guidance while remaining hands-on with detailed engineering work
What you will bring:
- 7+ years of hands-on electrical engineering experience
- Strong grounding in analog and digital circuit design, schematic capture and PCB development
- Experience with avionics, flight electronics, spacecraft, payload, launch-vehicle, missile or other complex aerospace hardware
- Experience with power distribution, harnessing, electrical interfaces and lab-based hardware troubleshooting
- The ability to lead technical work across disciplines without stepping away from the engineering detail
Experience with embedded processors, flight computers, FPGA-based systems, CAN, Ethernet, RS-422/485, SPI, I2C or UART would be useful.
Applicants must be eligible to work with US export-controlled information and able to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.
