Junior Electrical Engineer

Overview

NDI Engineering Company is looking for a dedicated and self-motivated entry/mid-level electrical engineer to assist in the design, implementation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and improvement of electrical engineering functions to the 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.
• Communicate issues, impacts and corrective actions effectively.
• Interact with customers to gather critical information and review engineering plans.

• Bachelors or Master’s Degree 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.
• Knowledge or experience in Controls or Power, power conversion or experience with transformers/rectifiers is a plus.
• Knowledge of Electromagnetic Interference is a plus.
• Active member of engineering societies or honorary societies is a plus.
• 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. This includes the ability to deploy aboard naval vessels (surface) or to remote forward operating bases in different environments.
• Candidates must be comfortable and capable of working in challenging and often uncomfortable conditions, such as noisy machinery, confined spaces, elevated heights, extreme temperatures (hot/cold), wet or humid environments, and areas with fumes, dust, or vibrations.
• Physical readiness is a prerequisite, necessitating the ability to lift, carry, push, and pull objects up to 50 lbs, and to stand, walk, climb ladders/stairs, stoop, kneel, crouch, and crawl for extended periods.
• Manual dexterity and fine motor skills are required for operating tools and equipment.
• The ability to wear all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, respirators, and steel-toed boots, is mandatory.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen and able to obtain and maintain a SECRET U.S. Government security clearance.
• Possession of a valid U.S. Driver's License is required.
