Electrical Engineer

NDI Engineering Company is looking for an entry level electrical engineer to assist in the design, implementation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and improvement of electrical engineering functions to the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and/or Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG). EMALS is the aircraft launch system on Ford Class Carriers.

This role requires a highly adaptable and resilient individual who is willing and able to travel to challenging environments and perform duties in physically demanding and uncomfortable conditions aboard naval vessels (surface), military installations, or remote field sites. The Electrical Engineer will work closely with senior engineers to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of the AAG and/or EMALS.

• Work with development, system engineering, and production teams to accurately identify, characterize, resolve, document, address, and track electrical deficiencies. This may include power factor analysis and correction, harmonic modeling and analysis, grounding analysis, short-circuit investigations, and arc- flash studies.
• Contribute to technical presentations, electrical work products, electrical requirements/designs/concepts, and written communications to explain issues to management.
• Create, review, and execute hardware design documentation such as interface control drawings, assembly drawings, test procedures, and other technical documents.
• Create, develop, review, and interpret engineering drawings of complex parts and systems.
• Research and develop product specifications and interface requirements.
• Resolve complex electrical compatibility and interface design issues assessing performance attributes and key performance parameters.
• Evaluate components to determine electrical performance impacts to existing designs in relation to cost, schedule, and performance.
• Skilled in communicating issues, impacts, and corrective actions.
• Interact with customers to gather critical information and review engineering plans.

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
• 0-6 years of relevant experience, including internships, co-op programs, or academic projects with a strong emphasis on hands-on electrical equipment.
• This is NOT a remote position – work will be out of Lakehurst, NJ.
• Readiness for travel, up to 5-20% or more, both domestically and internationally, including deployment aboard naval vessels or to remote forward operating bases.
• Comfortable and capable of working in challenging and often uncomfortable conditions such as noisy machinery, confined spaces, elevated heights, extreme temperatures, wet or humid environments, and areas with fumes, dust, or vibrations.
• Physical readiness: ability to lift, carry, push, and pull objects up to 50 lb, and to stand, walk, climb ladders/stairs, stoop, kneel, crouch, and crawl for extended periods.
• Manual dexterity and fine motor skills required for operating tools and equipment.
• Ability to wear all required PPE (hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, respirators, steel-toed boots).
• Must be a U.S. citizen and be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET U.S. Government security clearance.
