The Advanced Effectors and Guidance Systems Department is searching for an Electrical Engineer II – Interconnect with experience in electrical interface types, connectors, harness development, and interconnect schematics design. The focus of this role is to work with subsystem owners and develop an interconnect model that prescribes system design and informs cable design and electrical performance parameters.

• Develop interconnect models and integrate and validate electronics.
• Analyze hardware designs, influence architecture development, and refine that architecture.
• Develop and document subsystem requirements and test plans.
• Troubleshoot electronics in a lab or production environment, perform system and circuit‑level analysis, integrate subsystems, support failure investigations, and maintain documentation.
• Collaborate with functional and program higher‑level management.
• Collaborate with customers and suppliers.
• Work with program leadership and system stakeholders to define model requirements.
• Compile inputs from system requirements, architecture, electrical interface parameters, schematics, and hardware specifications into an interconnect model.
• Collaborate with mechanical harness‑design teams on cable design and routing.
• Conduct stakeholder meetings to align teams with model status.
• Prepare and conduct peer reviews of model contents and present packages for engineering review.
• Generate test procedures/plans, document results, and present task results to small technical teams.
• Work independently or as part of a team in an office and lab environment; occasional field work may be required.
• Support multiple programs and labs using instrumentation and test equipment.
• Travel occasionally, including foreign travel.

• 2+ years of relevant engineering experience with electrical hardware development, testing, or subsystems/systems engineering, including requirement development and validation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government‑issued security clearance.
• U.S. citizenship (only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance).

• Knowledge of interconnect capture tools such as Siemens Capital Suites.
• Experience writing and executing test procedures.
• Experience integrating and testing electrical hardware/subsystems.
• Experience with system block diagrams, interconnect diagrams, harness schematics, electrical interface parameters, and harness components (connectors & wires).
• Familiarity with interface specs, high‑speed digital interface, power distribution, grounding, shielding, signal integrity, and contact arrangements.
• Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
• Knowledge of mixed‑signal electronics.
• Ability to manage cross‑functional teams and drive suppliers to meet commitments.
• Knowledge of DOD hardware development process design gates.
• Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
• Knowledge of or experience with Model‑Based System Engineering (MBSE).

The salary range for this role is $68,900 – $131,100 USD. Employees may be eligible for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short‑term and long‑term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, scholar program, parental leave, paid time off, holidays, and incentive compensation programs depending on level and business unit.
