Support detailed actuation system design, test design and execution, and support to systems or software engineering functions. Cover a portion of the product life cycle from conceptualizing and design to prototyping, manufacturing, integration and verification testing, through production support. Apply sound systems engineering principles to define and solve complex actuation system problems while influencing engineering teams to include electrical, mechanical, control systems, software and firmware, manufacturing engineering, and supply chain. Support and drive the execution of product development projects, working with a Team/Technical Lead and under the guidance of an Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead in a multidisciplinary team environment focused on execution and engineering excellence using established business and engineering tools and processes. Interact with internal and external customers and leadership team members. Qualifications You Must Have Bachelor’s 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 a minimum of 3 years’ experience. Experience with electromagnetic or electrohydraulic control actuation systems. Qualifications We Prefer Five (5) years of experience with actuation systems or motion controls. Experience developing technical solutions to a wide range of complex problems across multiple parts of the product lifecycle such as proposal, design, manufacture, integration and test. Ability to estimate project or task level of effort and to deconstruct higher level tasks into discrete lower‑level work packages and tasks. Ability to articulate, in both oral and written form, to technical, non‑technical and management audiences. Experience with feedback control systems, including control theory, system sizing, testing and integration, design to manufacturing, kinematic and dynamic simulation and analysis. Experience developing system‑based models using MATLAB/Simulink. Experience with Hardware‑In‑The‑Loop development and tools such as dSpace. Experience in design and development of test equipment for electromechanical systems that operate under high load and rate. Experience with Failure Investigation Teams with FRACAS / FRB / RCCA. Experience 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 control. Experience with actuation communication busses; electromechanical actuators (using gears, ball screws, lead screws, etc.); position sensors; electronic controllers and power amplifiers. Basic understanding of packaging electromechanical systems for management of grounding, shielding and electrical noise in compact designs. Familiarity with command‑line interfaces, Unix systems, networks, and software. M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM major. Prior experience as engineering Team Lead (hardware, electrical or integration). Existing U.S. DoD security clearance. What We Offer Relocation eligibility: This position is eligible for relocation.
