The Senior Electrical Sustainment Engineer joins the Tactical Recon & Strike team to manage product sustainment within a production process for aerial drones and related equipment. This role involves performing and owning design updates for embedded electronics, including hardware selection, schematic and PCB updates, board bring-up, and system-level integration. The engineer will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to address feature requests and component obsolescence while troubleshooting issues across electrical and software boundaries. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Altium Designer or similar EDA tools, experience with 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers, Linux-based SOCs, Ethernet, and common communication buses like SPI and I2C. The candidate must be skilled with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to support products designed for demanding environments including aerospace and defense applications.

What you'll do

  • Manage product sustainment in production through engineering improvements, cost reduction, and sourcing support.
  • Own design updates for embedded electronics including hardware selection, schematics, PCB updates, and board bring-up.
  • Execute system-level integration and validation of electronic components.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across electrical and software boundaries using lab equipment and debugging tools.
  • Coordinate with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to implement feature requests and address component obsolescence.
  • Manage long lead and end-of-life components to ensure continuous production cycles.
  • Support new product introductions and maintain hardware currently in active deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 10+ years of experience designing, testing, troubleshooting, and sustaining complex embedded systems and products.
  • Experience with 8- and 32-bit Microcontrollers, Linux-based SOCs, Ethernet, common communication busses (SPI, I2C), and power regulation.
  • Competence with test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation tools.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Knowledge of embedded software development, including timers, interrupts, and hardware peripherals (preferred).
  • Familiarity with project management tools like Jira and version control tools like git or GitHub (preferred).
