As the Sr. Electrical Design Engineer, you are responsible for the development of complex electrohydraulic, electromechanical, and electro-pneumatic Test Equipment that will test and verify products of our company. You will plan and conduct efforts requiring judgment in the independent evaluation, selection, and substantial adaptation and modification of standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria. Typically, the Design Engineer devises new approaches for the problems encountered.

The Sr. Electrical Design Engineer is a key contributor to the analysis, conceptual design, development, and testing of complex control hardware used on Military and Commercial aircraft and associated test equipment. The products of our company generally are unique for each customer. Therefore, most new applications require a special, tailored design, even though adaptation of existing designs always should be considered where appropriate.

In the early stages of a new program, the project team will consult with the customer, establish the problem statement, conceive of potential hardware solutions to the problem, often through extensive trade studies, and then create a successful technical proposal. This phase is critical in that it establishes the basis for future design, and for contract negotiations. Under the technical direction of the Engineering Manager, Section Head, or the team’s lead engineer, the Sr. Electrical Design Engineer will then guide the evolution of the conceptual design, technical project planning, detail design, and development testing. This requires some travel and participation in presentations to customers.

You can expect to:

1. Contribute to the development of new product requirements through consulting with customers and sales personnel
2. Operate as a key element in a team of creative, independent individuals
3. Validate conceptual problem solutions by performing trade studies and analyses
4. Be a key contributor to the preparation of successful proposal designs, cost estimates, and technical volume write ups
5. Operate as a key element in a team of creative, independent individuals
6. Contribute to the development of new product requirements through consulting with customers and sales personnel
7. Create reliable designs through a comprehensive experimental development test program
8. Document designs, analyses, and test results with accurate and concise reports
9. Represent our company in a manner consistent with its technical reputation

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• Minimum 10+ years of Design or Development Engineering experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• Electrical hardware design experience, including circuit design
• Experience with LabVIEW, dSpace, Python, Visual Studio C++, LabWindow, LUA

Travel:

• 10% travel required
