• Generate detailed wiring diagrams, harness drawings, pinouts, and electrical schematics
• Develop and maintain technical documentation and configuration-controlled drawing packages
• Design and analyze UAS power systems including battery integration, regulation, distribution, and protection
• Integrate RF systems including command-and-control links, telemetry, video transmission systems, and antenna interfaces
• Perform system-level electrical integration within airframes and payload configurations
• Support fabrication teams by providing clear build documentation and resolving technical discrepancies
• Conduct troubleshooting and root cause analysis during lab integration and flight test events
• Support ground and flight test events as required
• Design of multilayer and controlled impedance PCBs
• Experience with radio communication systems, antenna specification, and electromagnetic interference mitigation, programming for small embedded processors

Qualifications:
Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• US Citizenship required with the ability to obtain and maintain the required security clearance for the program
• Experience designing wiring harnesses and generating associated documentation
