Electrical Engineer

Position Summary

The Electrical Engineer specifies, designs, and seals electrical drawings for government facilities, including secure and sensitive facilities, and for mobile platforms, in support of MAG Aerospace's U.S. Government defense programs. The role carries the electrical design from requirements and specification through sealed, construction-ready drawings and construction support. Reporting to program leadership, it applies across a portfolio of programs rather than any single effort.

The position designs facility and platform electrical systems, power distribution, grounding and bonding, backup power, and low-voltage electronic security, audiovisual, and information-technology infrastructure; produces and seals the drawings; and supports the design through construction and integration. The role is open at the mid-career and senior levels and requires an active PE license and the ability to seal drawings.
