Sr. Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will design, develop, and integrate complex aircraft arresting systems and architecture across hardware and software domains. The role requires prior experience in electronic controllers and associated firmware and software for critical motion control systems, ideally with microprocessor and PLC‑based controllers and human‑machine interface (touch screen) controls. You will serve as both an electronics system integrator and technical strategist. Location: Aston, PA Salary: $115,000 to $130,000 Responsibilities Lead the design and development of electronic controllers, human‑machine interfaces, all system interfaces and proof‑of‑concept prototypes to ensure seamless integration across all system elements. Support and execute hardware/software integration, subsystem testing, and full‑system acceptance testing to validate compliance with system requirements. Identify, analyze, and resolve system design weaknesses, performance gaps, or integration risks across the product lifecycle. Collaborate with engineering teams to develop, trace, and verify system, hardware, and software requirements. Define system architecture and framework based on functional, operational, and customer requirements. Influence the design direction of future products by contributing to architectural standards, reusable frameworks, and system engineering best practices. Develop and maintain system‑level specifications, interface control documents, system requirements specifications, and hardware requirements specifications. Participate in the definition and documentation of system input/output parameters, performance metrics, and hardware/software compatibility standards. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. 5+ years of work experience. Preference given for defense or aerospace industry. Foundation in design and development of electronic controllers for critical NI and SCADA systems (Backend and Ladder Logic). Familiarity with industry standards for systems engineering processes. Proven success in defining, documenting, and validating complex systems involving both hardware and software components.
