Position: Principal Electrical System Engineer - Payloads - $10K Sign On B with Security Clearance
Job Description Minimum $10,000 Sign-On Bonus being offered for external hires. BAE Systems is expanding our expertise to provide exciting and challenging solutions to our customers. Our spacecraft solutions team works in a fast paced, highly collaborative development environment to provide continuously evolving capabilities in space payloads. As an electrical system engineer, you will work with a team of electrical engineers through the program life cycle to develop electronic products for various complex, high precision, and high reliability applications.

What You'll Do:
* Provide technical leadership for a multidisciplinary system team (optical, mechanical, focal plane, power, thermal, RF, software) including suppliers to create, influence and define discriminating electronics solutions involving electro-optical imaging, SoCs, mechanisms, thermal conditioning, payload control, mission data processing and power including DC-DC converter designs and products for power distribution.
* Work with subject matter experts to define space-based electronics systems and components to include focal plane interface electronics, power electronics and power conversion, single board computers, high precision thermal control including cryo systems, and FPGA based controllers.
* Lead resolution of electrical hardware anomalies at the system level and determine root cause and corrective action at the engineering development level and with flight hardware.
* Compose objective, quantifiable trade studies incorporating heritage system designs as well as new technologies and supplier capabilities to guide critical architectural decisions affecting the performance of other systems and subsystems.
* Electrical system-level modeling and simulation, analysis, trades, risk assessment, requirements derivation, allocation, and flow down leveraging, DOORs, MBSE, and various other system engineering tools.
* Maintain end-to-end electrical compatibility, functional allocations, and margins across entire system
* Hands-on involvement in every aspect of design, development, production, and test.
* Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the design phase.
* Present analysis, findings, and design to peers, internal management, and customers throughout program phases (Proposal, I , SRR, PDR, CDR, IV&V).
* Develop electronics to quality and reliability standards for NASA, NOAA, DoD, and classified customers.
* Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
* Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
* Perform other duties as necessary.

Working Conditions:

* Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment.
* May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required.
* May access other facilities in various weather conditions.
* Travel and local commute between BAE System campuses and other possible non-BAE System locations may be required. Required Education, Experience, & Skills Required Education, Experience, & Skills
* BS or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required plus 6 or more years related experience.
* Each higher-level degree, i.e., Master's Degree or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience. Related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education. Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.
* Robust problem solving, decision making (related to cost, schedule, technical and risk), and closure skills (dedication to close open items/issues) to ensure mission success
* Strong presentation skills and ability to communicate complex concepts to widely varying audiences.
* Demonstrated behaviors of a systems thinker; selects and applies appropriate systems thinking skills to solve very complex problems and implement constructive change
* Working knowledge of interface and design documentation, such as functional block diagrams, PCB design, layout, and fabrication documentation skills
* Detailed design experience in analog circuit, digital circuits, FPGA, PCB Layout, and electronics packaging. Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills
* Experience in creating and delivering aerospace electronics systems and subsystems
* Experience in creating and delivering space-based electronics systems and subsystems
* Technical competence in the following areas: ROIC photodetector arrays, motor drives including 3 phase, voice coils and steppers along with associated feedback including resolvers and encoders, general analog circuitry for thermal control, telemetry gathering and transistor biasing, FPGA closed loop control, DC-DC…
