The Opportunity

We are hiring a mid- to senior-level Electrical Engineer to design, build, integrate, test, and evaluate power systems supporting government missions.

In this role, you'll take technical ownership of power generation and distribution solutions for a modular data and sensing environment. Your work will span AC/DC power systems, batteries, solar and alternative energy sources, power conversion, embedded hardware, and system-level integration .

This is a hands-on engineering position. You'll work alongside mechanical and systems engineers to turn mission requirements into reliable, deployable hardware-including modular sensing payloads designed for demanding operational environments.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end design and development of power generation systems, including battery, solar, and alternative power sources , from requirements analysis through fabrication and deployment.
• Define requirements for power generation, distribution, and management , including power electronics, converters, and power factor correction.
• Design and test AC and DC power systems and associated components.
• Develop and execute test plans to validate system performance and reliability, including the design of automated test setups.
• Build and integrate hardware components, circuit boards, and embedded systems supporting custom RF sensing payloads .
• Lead the design and construction of custom RF and other sensing packages.
• Fabricate and code control systems used to operate payload packages within a modular buoy platform .
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues involving electrical systems and components.
• Help define system interfaces and APIs that enable communication and interaction between applications and subsystems.
• Perform trade studies involving power, weight, and other system attributes to establish sensor package requirements.
• Evaluate and document system-specific modularity and interoperability across system platforms.
• Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering disciplines to meet evolving technical requirements and program milestones.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What You'll Bring

• Active Secret Clearance.
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• 6-10 years of experience supporting Department of Defense acquisitions in a systems electrical engineering role.
• Experience designing and testing AC and DC power systems .
• Experience with power conversion systems , including AC/DC, DC/DC, inverters, and rectifiers.
• Experience with hardware design, rapid prototyping, and laboratory validation .
• Previous experience using Altium or equivalent software for PCB and circuit-system design.
• Familiarity with project management and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft Project .
• Strong skills in Python, MATLAB, and other technologies relevant to system development and automation .
• Ability to translate mission requirements into practical engineering designs.
• Strong technical writing skills, including test plans, technical reports, and white papers .
• Experience briefing technical results to leadership.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Ability to work on-site Monday through Friday in North Charleston, South Carolina .

Experience designing, building, and fielding modular sensing payloads in Department of Defense environments will make you especially well aligned with the work.
