The Electrical Engineer III is an experienced contributor who works highly independently and uses established procedures to perform assigned tasks by working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Suppliers and Customers. Provide engineering design and analysis services for DC/DC power converters and filters for space and high-reliability applications. Responsibility for technical proposals, requirements management, detailed architecture of topology and control, detailed circuit design and analyses (including familiarity with part selection and design concepts associated with radiation hardened/tolerant circuitry), product performance, customer presentations, schedule, and cost requirements.

Will have expert knowledge of concepts, practices and procedures of assigned product or program. May lead a team of engineers on assigned projects.

Essential Functions:

• Model and simulate circuit or system performance of dc-dc power converters and filters using analytical tools
• Detailed design and analysis of discrete implementation of power converter control circuitry that is resistant to performance degradation due to radiation effects
• Filter modeling, analysis and design
• System integration, test and development of DC power conversion hardware for spaceflight and high-rel applications
• Investigate and evaluate new power topologies and control for spaceflight applications
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that the designs meet the customers' electrical, environmental as well as internal manufacturing requirements and standards
• Support internal concurrent design criteria
• Function as the technical interface for customers and attend technical meetings as required. Support specification development with customers
• Translate market specifications into design requirements. Generate design documentation required for prototype and/or production releases as required
• Document new designs per established guidelines including but not limited to simulations, test circuit measurements and tolerance analyses
• Provide appropriate input to the development of test procedures, fixtures and software
• Respond to market trends and requirements for product development specifications
• Any other task assigned by your supervisor or management

Eligibility Requirement:
This position may require access to Controlled Data or Information. Where the position requires such access only US Persons will be considered. As a US Department of Defense contractor, we are bound by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience:
  
  5+ years of experience with microelectronic dc-dc power conversion and control system design, including knowledge of radiation effects on components and circuits. Experience with high reliability hardware design from conceptual design through product delivery. Experience with analog modeling tools (I.e., Symetrix, Simplis, Ansys Maxwell, Mathcad or equivalent software)
• Knowledge:
  Knowledge of complex dc-dc power topologies and control circuitries;
  Discrete analog circuit design;
  Detailed knowledge of power electronics technology, including temperature compensating analog circuits, radiation tolerant components and circuitry, reference compensators, magnetic design, and planar magnetics
• Skill:
  Excellent documentation, organization and time management skills. Ability to write procedures, reports, and acceptance tests. Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects through complete development cycle. Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work in team environment and mentor others.
• Education/Certification:
  
  BS degree in Electrical Engineering.…
