TL;DR · Senior Specialist Electrical Engineer

As a Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer, you will join the Propulsion Control Systems team to support the design, development, integration, and verification of propulsion control systems for advanced defense aerospace platforms. You will work across the full product lifecycle to develop electrical architecture, circuit designs, and interface definitions for engine control electronics, sensor and actuator interfaces, power conditioning, wiring, and signal integrity solutions. Your daily responsibilities include creating schematics, performing component selection, conducting failure analysis, and leading hardware troubleshooting and qualification testing in lab environments. You will utilize tools such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and data acquisition equipment while applying knowledge of DO-160, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-810 standards. This role addresses critical technical challenges in propulsion control components, including thrust vector control, motor drives, and electro-mechanical actuation within highly regulated aerospace environments.

What you'll do

  • Design electrical architectures, circuit designs, and interface definitions for propulsion control systems.
  • Develop engine control electronics, sensor/actuator interfaces, power conditioning, and signal integrity solutions.
  • Create and review schematics, requirements, interface control documents, and test procedures.
  • Perform component selection, derating, tolerance analysis, and failure analysis for aerospace applications.
  • Execute hardware integration, troubleshooting, verification, validation, and qualification testing in lab environments.
  • Ensure all designs comply with military standards, airworthiness expectations, and internal engineering processes.
  • Lead root cause investigations, risk reduction activities, and corrective action efforts.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the assigned work scope.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, propulsion, controls, avionics, or other safety-critical systems.
  • 8+ years of experience with analog and digital circuit design, electrical integration, and hardware verification.
  • 8+ years of experience with propulsion control components such as sensors, actuators, control electronics, motor drives, or power systems.
  • 8+ years of experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DMMs, signal generators, and data acquisition tools.
  • Ability to interpret system requirements and translate them into electrical design solutions.
  • Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field (preferred).
  • Security clearance.
