Advanced Laser Systems Technology (ALST) has an immediate opening for a Specialist, Electrical Engineering. ALST is located in Orlando, Florida and is part of Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (IMS) which is headquartered in Londonderry, NH. ALST is an established leader in Electro-Optical laser systems for military defense applications domestically and internationally. As a trailblazer in designing and developing highly engineered, innovative solutions, ALST is world renowned for its expertise in the areas of laser range finders and laser designators and our employees are unified in a shared dedication to our customers’ mission and quest for professional growth.

We offer an alternative work schedule and the opportunity to work with a talented and diverse group of professionals.

The Specialist, Electrical Engineering, is an integral member of the ALST Engineering team. This individual is responsible for Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) development, circuit design, electrical system and subsystem architecture, analysis, system diagrams, and component selection for the electronics associated with advanced laser systems.

This is an onsite position and requires the individual to have a well-rounded background with knowledge of circuit card development and analog and digital engineering practices. He / she must possess the ability to work with design and development engineers and production technicians to support product development, verification, transition into manufacturing, and to support designs in production.

Works on problems of diverse scope where analysis of information requires evaluation of identifiable factors. Devises solutions based on limited information and precedent and adapts existing approaches to resolve issues. Uses evaluation, judgment, and interpretation to select right course of action. Work is done independently and is reviewed at critical points.

Enhances relationships and networks with senior internal/external partners who are not familiar with the subject matter often requiring persuasion. Adapts style to differing audiences and often advises others on difficult matters.
