A strong understanding of electrical design principles, system integration, and advanced problem-solving skills are essential. Applicants should also demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and deliver results in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
This position presents an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology development and support initiatives that drive meaningful change in national security, defense, and other critical missions.
Key Responsibilities
* System Design and Implementation
* Proficiency in designing and developing electrical components and systems.
* Experience in integrating software design with electrical components.
* Proficiency with design software such as SolidWorks, Altium Designer, or similar tools.
* Capability to conduct testing and validation of component prototypes, perform simulations and analysis to predict system behavior, and prepare detailed documentation including design specifications, test plans, and user manuals.
* Develop technical designs, schematics, layouts, and documentation for electronics and electrical systems, including power systems, control systems, and communication systems.
* Perform calculations, simulations, and analysis for circuit design, power distribution, grounding, and load flow.
* Collaboration and Integration
* Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, program managers, and clients to develop integrated solutions that meet technical and programmatic requirements.
* Coordinate with mechanical, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical designs into broader system architectures.
* Assist with managing engineering tasks across all phases of a project, from concept development and requirements definition to design, testing, and delivery.
* Support technical reviews, design validation, and supplier management throughout the project lifecycle.
* Design Review and Compliance
* Conduct and participate in formal design reviews to verify compliance with specifications, regulations, and project objectives.
* Ensure designs meet safety, performance, and regulatory standards, including NEC, IEEE, MIL-STD, and other relevant codes.
* Troubleshooting and Testing
* Develop testing plans and validate the performance of electrical systems per design specifications.
* Perform fault analysis and provide cost-effective solutions to technical challenges, ensuring minimal disruption to project timelines.
* Documentation and Reporting
* Create detailed technical documentation, including drawings, schematics, test reports, and technical manuals.
* Generate progress reports, risk assessments, and presentations to communicate status and results to internal and external stakeholders.
* Technical Leadership
* Mentor and guide junior engineers, provide technical oversight, and foster professional growth.
* Lead technical discussions with clients and stakeholders, offering guidance and recommendations.
