Electrical Engineer - Levels

Regular

AV is continuously seeking talented Electrical Engineers to work onsite at our Albuquerque, New Mexico or Germantown, Maryland offices. Electrical Engineers at AV support the design, development, integration, verification, and production of advanced aerospace, beam-control, RF, and electromechanical systems.

This posting is intended for candidates at multiple experience levels. Responsibilities and seniority will be aligned with qualifications, experience, and program needs. Depending on the assignment, Electrical Engineers may support analog, digital, mixed-signal, RF, power, embedded, high-speed electronic systems, and ruggedized interconnect solutions.

You will collaborate with systems, mechanical, RF, optical, software, manufacturing, quality, test, and program management teams throughout the product lifecycle—from requirements development and concept design through prototyping, qualification, production, and field support. More experienced candidates may lead technical activities, special projects, or provide direction and mentorship to other engineers.

• Depending on experience and program needs, responsibilities may include:
• Design, develop, analyze, integrate, and test analog, digital, mixed-signal, RF, power, and embedded electronic systems.
• Design and develop ruggedized cable assemblies, harnesses, and interconnect solutions for use in harsh environmental and mission-critical applications.
• Define cable assembly requirements, including electrical performance, shielding, grounding, connector selection, routing, bend radius, strain relief, sealing, and environmental durability.
• Select appropriate cables, connectors, backshells, protective sleeving, conduit, and other interconnect components based on electrical, mechanical, environmental, and manufacturing requirements.
• Create and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, cable assembly drawings, PCB layouts, interface documentation, bills of materials, and technical data packages.
• Perform circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, power analysis, worst-case analysis, and signal- or power-integrity assessments.
• Support hardware development from requirements and concept through design, prototyping, integration, verification, qualification, production, and field support.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to define electrical and mechanical interfaces, resolve technical issues, and meet system performance requirements.
• Develop and execute test plans, verification procedures, and acceptance criteria for electronic hardware and cable assemblies.
• Support hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and corrective actions.
• Use laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, power supplies, and data-acquisition systems.
• Participate in design, requirements, test-readiness, production-readiness, and customer technical reviews.
• Support configuration management, revision control, engineering change processes, and product lifecycle management.
• Work with manufacturing and suppliers to resolve production issues and improve cost, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and production readiness.
• Provide technical leadership, task ownership, or mentorship based on experience.
• Support occasional travel to customer, supplier, test, or field locations as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Relevant experience in electrical design, analysis, hardware development, cable assembly design, integration, verification, or test. Level will be determined by qualifications and experience.
• Familiarity with electrical engineering fundamentals, circuit design, schematic development, wiring diagrams, and laboratory test equipment.
• Ability to analyze technical data, troubleshoot hardware, and communicate clear conclusions and recommendations.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, organizational, and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance, if required by the program.

• Experience with ruggedized cable assemblies, wire harnesses, connectors, backshells, shielding, grounding, strain relief, or interconnect systems.
• Experience designing cable assemblies for harsh…
