Job Description

Description

SAIC is seeking an Electrical Engineer or ECAD Draftsman with strong experience in cable harness, test rack integration, and Technical Data Package (TDP) maturation for next‑generation Hypersonic Missile System Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) test racks. This position provides direct engineering support to Hypersonics HWIL Laboratories, focusing on electrical design updates, technical data package refinement, and the integration of high-fidelity test equipment into the Hypersonic program.

The ideal candidate is hands‑on, detail‑oriented, and highly skilled in 2D electrical drafting, cable/harness documentation, and Zuken e3.Series workflows, including DS-E3 PDM. This role requires frequent engagement with geographically dispersed engineering teams as well as external partners delivering subsystem and test equipment updates.

Key Responsibilities

* Mature and expand a Technical Data Package (TDP) from prototype‑level drawings to MIL-STD-31000 production‑ready documentation supporting Hypersonic Missile System HWIL operations.

* Update and maintain 2D electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable/harness drawings, and interconnect documentation for HWIL chassis and associated lab equipment.

* Review and interpret Hypersonic Weapon System HWIL electrical architecture, cabling requirements, and chassis‑level integration details to ensure alignment with evolving system designs.

* Strategize and execute intelligent drawing integration into Zuken DS‑E3 (centralized Product Data Management), ensuring version control, traceability, and cross‑functional usability is maintained among a geographically distributed team.

* Collaborate with multi‑site engineering teams, suppliers, and government stakeholders to incorporate product updates and maintain configuration consistency across distributed environments.

* Conduct design reviews of HWIL chassis equipment, test assets, and interface control artifacts to ensure compliance with electrical design standards and system requirements.

* Ensure all documentation meets DoD drawing standards, program standards, export control constraints, and DoD security requirements.

Qualifications

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

* Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Technology, Drafting/Design, or related discipline.

* Experience maturing a Technical Data Package (TDP) from prototype to production quality.

* Demonstrated expertise updating 2D electrical schematics, electrical rack/chassis layouts, and cable/harness drawings.

* Experience working with weapons‑related or high‑complexity system cabling (Hypersonic, missile, aerospace, or similar).

* Proficiency with Zuken e3.Series products; experience with DS‑E3 PDM and drawing management.

* Ability to collaborate with geographically distributed teams and external organizations.

* Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance (active clearance preferred).

DESIRED

EXPERIENCE:

* Understanding of DoD engineering processes, configuration management, and quality assurance for production‑ready documentation.

* Experience with workflow automation or advanced features within Zuken's e3.Series products and PDM environment.
