- Own electrical hardware from concept through design, procurement, build, checkout, qualification, and vehicle integration.
- Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, harness/interface definitions, test plans, procedures, and technical documentation.
- Support architecture trades across power distribution, instrumentation, controls, data acquisition, communication buses, and RF interfaces.
- Work with GNC, flight software, propulsion, structures, hydraulics, test, manufacturing, and operations teams to define requirements and integrated solutions.
- Perform electrical design analysis, including power budgets, signal integrity, thermal considerations, grounding/bonding, and interface compatibility.
- Bring up, troubleshoot, and modify electrical systems at the bench, subsystem, and vehicle level.
- Support ground test, environmental test, integrated vehicle test, and flight test campaigns.
- Maintain configuration control over avionics hardware, drawings, wiring diagrams, work instructions, test procedures, and as-built documentation.
- Support design reviews, test readiness reviews, failure investigations, and risk mitigation planning.
- Work hands-on with technicians, test engineers, and manufacturing teams to quickly resolve issues and keep hardware moving.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 4+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, avionics integration, instrumentation, control systems, digital communication buses, analog design, power electronics, harness design, or vehicle electrical systems.
