• Design and analyze aircraft power distribution systems, electrical load analyses, and load shedding strategies.
• Support system requirements analysis, design, integration, testing, verification, and production activities throughout the product lifecycle.
• Coordinate aircraft electrical mission equipment installations while ensuring compliance with OEM, vendor, FAA, and military requirements.
• Verify system configurations, interface definitions, and electrical block diagrams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams including systems, mechanical, manufacturing, software, test, and program management to develop integrated design solutions.
• Participate in technical design reviews, configuration management activities, and engineering change processes.
• Identify, document, communicate, and help mitigate electrical design and system integration risks.
• Monitor engineering milestones and provide technical status updates to project and program leadership.
• Support system integration, troubleshooting, qualification testing, and aircraft installation activities.
• Perform root cause investigations and develop corrective actions to improve product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Required Qualifications :

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or another STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics), or equivalent experience where applicable.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant electrical engineering experience with a Bachelor's degree, 3 years with an advanced degree, or 9 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
• Experience designing and integrating electrical systems for aircraft or other complex technical platforms.
• Knowledge of aircraft electrical power distribution systems, electrical load analysis, and mission equipment integration.
• Experience creating electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, and related engineering documentation.
• Proficiency with electrical design tools such as AutoCAD, Capital Harness, CATIA, Microsoft Visio, or similar CAD software.
• Experience working with electrical wiring integration systems (EWIS) and associated design practices.
• Knowledge of AS50881, MIL-STD-1472, and applicable aerospace electrical design standards.
• Familiarity with FAA Part 23 and Part 25 certification requirements and/or military aircraft airworthiness standards.
• Experience supporting configuration management processes and engineering change control.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with excellent communication abilities.
• Active U.S. Security Clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain one is required.

Preferred Qualifications :

• Experience supporting military or commercial aircraft modification and mission system integration programs.
• Knowledge of environmental and electromagnetic qualification standards including DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-E-7016, and MIL-STD-704.
• Experience supporting system verification, validation, qualification testing, and aircraft installation activities.
• Familiarity with root cause analysis methodologies and corrective action implementation.
• Experience working within aerospace, defense, or military aviation environments.
• Active U.S. Security Clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain one is preferred.
