Electrical Engineer

Title: Electrical Engineer – High Power Microwave & Pulsed Power Systems

Position Summary:We are seeking a graduate-level Electrical Engineer to support the development, integration, and testing of advanced high-power microwave (HPM) and pulsed-power systems. The engineer will work as part of a multidisciplinary team developing technologies associated with prime power, pulsed-power generation and conditioning, RF generation, impedance matching, transmission, and antenna systems. Responsibilities will include supporting the design, modeling, fabrication, integration, and laboratory/field testing of electrical and RF hardware, including systems utilizing conventional and explosive-driven pulsed-power technologies.

The position will involve hands‑on experimental work with high-voltage, high-current, fast-pulse, and high-power RF systems; instrumentation and data acquisition; analysis of test results; and troubleshooting of integrated systems. A graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field is preferred, with 0–5 years of relevant professional or research experience
. Experience gained through graduate research, laboratory work, internships, or government/DoD research programs involving RF, pulsed power, high-voltage systems, antennas, or electromagnetic systems is highly desirable.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Support the design, development, integration, and testing of HPM and pulsed-power systems.
• Develop and evaluate prime-power, pulse-forming, power-conditioning, and impedance-matching approaches for advanced RF systems.
• Support integration of power sources, pulsed-power hardware, RF generators, transmission components, and antenna systems.
• Plan and execute laboratory and field testing of high-voltage, high-current, fast-pulse, and high-power RF hardware.
• Select and configure instrumentation, diagnostics, data‑acquisition systems, and test equipment for transient electrical and RF measurements.
• Analyze experimental data, compare results with analytical or computational predictions, and identify opportunities for system improvement.
• Troubleshoot electrical, pulsed‑power, RF, and system‑integration issues during prototype development and testing.
• Support the design, fabrication, assembly, and modification of experimental hardware and prototype systems.
• Document test procedures, technical results, engineering analyses, and design recommendations.
• Work collaboratively with engineers and scientists from multiple disciplines to transition concepts from analysis through prototype demonstration.

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering or applied‑science discipline.
• 0–5 years of relevant professional experience
• Strong understanding of fundamental electrical engineering concepts, including circuits, electromagnetics, transmission lines, and electrical power systems.
• Ability to perform analytical, numerical, or computational methods.
• Experience working in a laboratory environment with electrical test equipment and instrumentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability and willingness to perform hands‑on engineering work

Desired

Skills:

• Coursework, research, or professional experience in high‑power microwave systems, RF/microwave engineering, or pulsed power
• Knowledge of impedance matching between prime-power sources, pulsed‑power systems, RF generators, transmission structures, and antennas.
• Experience with RF generators, antennas, wave guides, coaxial transmission systems, or electromagnetic structures.
• Experience measuring high‑voltage, high‑current, nanosecond‑ or microsecond‑scale transients and high‑power RF signals.
• Experience with electromagnetic, circuit, or Multiphysics modeling
• Experience programming or…
