RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop electrical architectures and embedded processor-based digital control systems for new and evolving products.
• Create and refine designs involving power distribution, grounding, lighting, control systems, and electrical equipment selection.
• Integrate EMI/RFI considerations into hardware design and evaluate solutions against project specifications and applicable standards.
• Investigate complex technical challenges, perform engineering analyses, and recommend practical design improvements.
• Plan and execute investigative and qualification testing to applicable military and aerospace requirements.
• Prepare design documentation, technical reports, specifications, and other deliverables throughout long-term development programs.
• Coordinate technical activities with engineering colleagues, designers, production teams, and other project contributors.
• Support manufacturing and early or ongoing production by troubleshooting electrical components and resolving product issues.
• Help evaluate established emerging technologies that can enhance product performance, safety, and reliability.
• Collaborate with customers, suppliers, and subcontractors to meet engineering goals and project expectations.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline from an accredited institution.
• Advanced understanding of aerospace electrical design, relevant engineering practices, and applicable industry codes and standards.
• Experience developing aerospace actuators, sensors, and both analog and processor-based motion control systems.
• Background in electrical product development and systems engineering for military or commercial applications.
• Experience designing embedded processor-based hardware and working with communication interfaces such as SPI, Ethernet, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1551, and CAN bus.
• Knowledge of DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and approaches to RTCA DO-254 conformance.
• Working familiarity with Altium Designer, OrCAD, or comparable electrical design software.
• Ability to write clear technical specifications and reports, solve complex problems, manage priorities, and communicate effectively with internal and external partners.

BENEFITS

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Paid time off and company-sponsored life insurance.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions.
• Opportunity to contribute to advanced aerospace products supporting critical rescue and aviation missions.
• Exposure to multidisciplinary engineering challenges, innovative technologies, and long-term product development programs.
