TL;DR · Senior Specialist Electrical Engineer

The Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer joins the Propulsion Control Systems team to support the design, development, integration, and verification of electrical and electronic hardware for advanced defense aerospace platforms. This role involves developing electrical architecture, circuit designs, and interface definitions for engine control, actuation, sensing, and power distribution. The engineer will perform component selection, derating, and failure analysis while creating schematics, requirements, and test procedures. Key technical skills include proficiency with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DMMs, signal generators, and data acquisition tools. Candidates should possess knowledge of DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and IPC standards, alongside experience with FPGA/embedded hardware interfaces and tools like DOORS or MATLAB/Simulink. The work focuses on solving mission-critical propulsion problems, including thrust vector control and electro-mechanical actuation in highly regulated environments.

What you'll do

  • Design electrical architecture, 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 customer requirements.
  • Participate in design reviews, root cause investigations, and risk reduction activities.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the assigned work scope.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of electrical engineering experience.
  • Graduate Degree and minimum 4 years of electrical engineering experience.
  • Minimum 10 years of electrical engineering experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a US secret security clearance.
  • Experience with propulsion control components such as sensors, actuators, control electronics, motor drives, or power systems (preferred).
  • 4+ years of experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, DMMs, signal generators, and data acquisition tools (preferred).
  • Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
