Job Description

The Electrical Engineer supports the design, development, packaging, testing, and integration of electrical and electronic systems and components for advanced military applications. Working under the general direction of a project engineering lead, this role focuses on electrical system design for a range of platforms, including combat vehicles, gun systems, and guided munitions. The Electrical Engineer performs detailed engineering analysis of components, subsystems, and complete systems to ensure robust performance and reliability in demanding operational environments.

Responsibilities

+ Design and develop analog and digital electrical circuits and systems for military platforms such as combat vehicles, gun systems, and guided munitions.

+ Support the full lifecycle of electrical and electronic systems, including design, development, packaging, testing, and integration into larger systems.

+ Perform detailed engineering analysis of electrical components, subsystems, and systems to validate performance and reliability for military product applications.

+ Create, read, and interpret schematics and interconnect drawings to ensure accurate documentation and integration of electrical designs.

+ Develop and manage interface control documents to define and maintain clear electrical and system-level interfaces.

+ Use circuit simulation tools such as PSpice or LTspice to model, analyze, and optimize circuit behavior prior to hardware implementation.

+ Apply simulation environments such as MATLAB and Simulink to support system modeling, analysis, and design verification.

+ Contribute to FPGA low-level coding activities to implement and validate digital logic functions within complex systems.

+ Utilize LabVIEW and other test and measurement tools to support verification, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems and components.

+ Collaborate with project engineering leads and multidisciplinary teams to solve moderately complex technical design and development problems.

+ Communicate technical data, analysis results, and design recommendations clearly and effectively to internal stakeholders and customers.

+ Ensure designs consider relevant military and commercial design standards and high EMI (electromagnetic interference) environments when applicable.

+ Support systems engineering activities and provide input to manufacturing considerations to facilitate efficient production and integration.

+ Maintain accurate technical documentation and participate in design reviews and technical discussions to support project progress and quality.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field and at least four years of relevant experience, or a master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field with at least two years of relevant experience.

+ Professional-level ability to solve moderately complex technical design and development problems in electrical engineering.

+ Strong experience in creating, reading, and comprehending electrical schematics and interconnect drawings.

+ Ability to create and manage interface control documents for complex electrical and electronic systems.

+ Proficiency in circuit simulation using tools such as PSpice or LTspice.

+ Solid understanding of analog circuit design and digital circuit design, including use of Cadence or similar tools.

+

Experience with FPGA low-level coding in support of digital logic and embedded system implementations.

+ Effective verbal and written communication skills to convey data, information, and technical results to customers and internal teams.

+ Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent education.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications
