Senior Electrical Engineer

MUST BE ELIGIBLE FOR TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE About the Role Lead the design and development of innovative products from concept through research and development, qualification, and production. Responsibilities Define and maintain the overall electrical architecture for multiple unmanned systems and related subsystems. Serve as the technical lead for electrical design efforts, ensuring alignment with system requirements, performance objectives, cost targets, and manufacturing considerations. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, software, systems engineering, manufacturing, program management, suppliers, and customers. Battery-operated and power management systems Power distribution and signal integrity analysis Motor control and drive electronics Analog and digital circuit design High-speed data interfaces and communications Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI) design and mitigation Drive PCB component placement and layout reviews with an emphasis on high-density, low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) applications. Perform design trade studies and evaluate technical solutions to optimize performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Develop and execute test plans, simulations, prototype evaluations, and verification activities to ensure compliance with system requirements. Lead root‑cause investigations for complex design, integration, and production issues, and implement effective corrective actions. Support system integration, qualification testing, environmental testing, and field troubleshooting activities. Provide technical oversight and mentorship to junior engineers and designers. Support production and sustainment activities, including design updates, failure analysis, and manufacturing issue resolution. Generate and review engineering documentation, including schematics, interface definitions, test procedures, design reports, and technical presentations. Interface directly with customers, suppliers, and subcontractors to communicate technical requirements, review designs, and resolve engineering challenges. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering; Master’s degree preferred. 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience in product development, aerospace, defense, robotics, unmanned systems, or similar industries. Demonstrated experience leading electrical design efforts from concept through production. Strong expertise in analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, embedded hardware, and mixed‑signal systems. Extensive experience designing battery‑powered and low‑SWaP electronic systems. Proficiency with ECAD tools for schematic capture, PCB layout, and simulation (e.g., OrCAD, Allegro, Altium Designer, or equivalent). Experience with high‑speed digital design, signal integrity analysis, and PCB layout best practices. Strong understanding of EMC/EMI requirements, mitigation techniques, and compliance testing. Hands‑on experience with system integration, debugging, failure analysis, and laboratory testing using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and other test equipment. Experience supporting products designed for military, aerospace, or harsh operating environments is highly desirable. Knowledge of electro‑optical systems, sensor integration, motor control systems, or autonomous platforms is a plus. Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast‑paced development environment. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical information to customers, management, and cross‑functional teams. Experience mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership.
