Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior EngineerThe Control Systems section within the Radar Analog and Power Department (RAP) has an exciting employment opportunity for a Senior Engineer with control system and power conversion experience. The ideal candidate possesses a combination of design, product and production support experience, electronics knowledge, and hands-on laboratory skills.This position is an onsite role. Regular travel to Tewksbury, MA; Marlborough, MA; Andover, MA; Woburn, MA; and/or Pelham, NH may be required depending on the assignment. Travel to supplier or customer sites may also be required.What You Will DoIn this position, you will be responsible for developing technical solutions for a wide range of high-performance actuation system and motion control challenges (array or launcher deployment, platform/enclosure stabilization, and azimuth rotation of array, platform/enclosures or launcher).You will be expected to work autonomously with limited oversight, have advanced understanding of the Controls Engineering domain, manage small projects around assigned program work, and provide guidance to other professionals.Support may include but is not limited to detailed actuation system design, test design and execution, and support to systems or software engineering functions.Responsibility will cover a portion of the life cycle of the product, from conceptualizing and design, to prototyping and manufacturing, integration and verification testing, through production support.You will be expected to apply sound systems engineering principles to define and solve sometimes complex actuation system problems while influencing engineering teams to include electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems engineering, software and firmware engineering, manufacturing engineering, supply chain and others.You will also be responsible for supporting and driving the execution of product development projects. You will be working with a Team/Technical Lead and under the guidance of an Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead. Work is performed in a multidisciplinary team environment focused on execution and engineering excellence, using established business, and engineering tools and processes. You will interact with internal and external customers and leadership team members.Qualifications You Must HaveRequires a Bachelors degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years' experienceExperience with electromagnetic or electrohydraulic control actuation systemsQualifications We PreferFive (5) years of experience with actuation systems or motion controlsExperience developing technical solutions to a wide range of complex problems across multiple parts of the product lifecycle such as proposal, design, manufacture, integration and testAbility to estimate project / tasks level of effort and to deconstruct higher level tasks into discrete lower-level work packages and tasksAbility to articulate, in both oral and written form, to technical, non-technical and management audiencesExperience with feedback control systems, including control theory, system sizing, testing and integration, design to manufacturing, kinematic and dynamic simulation and analysisExperience developing system-based models using Matlab/SimulinkExperience with Hardware-In-The-Loop development and tools such as dSpaceExperience in design and development of test equipment for electromechanical systems that operate under high load and rateExperience with Failure Investigation Teams with FRACAS / FRB / RCCAExperience working with control actuation systems that employ permanent magnet brush and brushless DC motor technology and with different actuation drive systems including trapezoidal drive, sine drive and field-oriented controlExperience with actuation communication busses; electromechanical actuators (using gears, ballscrews, leadscrews etc); position sensors; electronic controllers and power amplifiersBasic understanding of packaging electromechanical systems for management of grounding, shielding and electrical noise in compact designsFamiliarity with command-line interfaces, Unix systems, networks, and softwareM.S. or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.Prior experience as engineering Team Lead (hardware, electrical or integration)Existing US DoD security clearanceWhat We OfferOur values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world.
