Electrical Engineer - Power Systems

Reference: GENERAL JOB SUMMARY:The Electrical Engineer (Power Systems) is responsible for the design, analysis, and documentation of power systems for engineered and integrated systems. These include RF, mechanical, networking, electromechanical, and networked/compute subsystems in both mobile and fixed architectures. This role develops power budgets, architects AC and DC power distribution, performs power-related trade studies, and routes power across integrated racks and components/networks.

This role works with internal teams (RF, mechanical, software, networking, etc.) as well as customers, vendors, and subcontractors.ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:Develop and maintain detailed power budgets for systems that integrate RF, mechanical, networking, electromechanical, and compute subsystems.Develop, update, and maintain electrical drawings and documentation related to power systems (schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, layout drawings, and bill of materials).Design power distribution for equipment racks (e.g., PDUs, bus bars, harnesses) and ensure proper load balancing, grounding, and fault protection.Develop power integration schemes for ruggedized or mobile enclosures, including connectors, environmental considerations, and serviceability.Work with mechanical and systems engineers to ensure that power hardware is physically integrated, accessible, and maintainable.Coordinate with working groups to capture power requirements, constraints, and design changes.Work with vendors to ingest and validate power requirements, start-up characteristics, and operating profiles for third-party components and subsystems.Architect AC and DC power distribution schemes, including source selection, conversion stages, protection, and distribution topologies.Perform trade studies to evaluate different power architectures, power types (e.g., AC vs. DC distribution levels) and generator options.Maintain an overarching power budget that is synchronized with evolving system designs and configurations across all engineering disciplines.Specify wire gauges, cable types, connectors, interlocks, interconnects, cam locks, and related hardware in accordance with electrical and safety standards.Develop and maintain single-line diagrams, detailed wiring diagrams, panel schedules, and power distribution drawings for mobile and fixed assets.Collaborate with customers to understand available power at different installation or test sites (voltage, phase, frequency, capacity, grounding, and reliability considerations).Assist in troubleshooting power-related issues during integration, test, and field operations, including root-cause analysis and corrective actions.Perform other related engineering duties consistent with the scope and level of this position, as assigned by management.Travel to customer sites, field locations, and deployment sites as required, potentially including OCONUS locations (estimated 25-50%)SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY:   This position does not have supervisory responsibilities.BenefitsMedical, Dental & Vision Insurance CoverageLife/ADD & Short/Long Term Disability Insurance401(k) Savings PlanEmployee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)Paid Time-Off (PTO)HolidaysEducation Reimbursement
