Description

SAIC is seeking an Electrical Engineer or ECAD Draftsman with strong experience in cable harness, test rack integration, and Technical Data Package (TDP) maturation for next-generation Hypersonic Missile System Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) test racks. This position provides direct engineering support to Hypersonics HWIL Laboratories, focusing on electrical design updates, technical data package refinement, and the integration of high-fidelity test equipment into the Hypersonic program.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, and highly skilled in 2D electrical drafting, cable/harness documentation, and Zuken e3.Series workflows, including DS-E3 PDM. This role requires frequent engagement with geographically dispersed engineering teams as well as external partners delivering subsystem and test equipment updates.

NOTE: This is a position that is 100% remote/work from home.

Key Responsibilities
  • Mature and expand a Technical Data Package (TDP) from prototype-level drawings to MIL-STD-31000 production-ready documentation supporting Hypersonic Missile System HWIL operations.
  • Update and maintain 2D electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable/harness drawings, and interconnect documentation for HWIL chassis and associated lab equipment.
  • Review and interpret Hypersonic Weapon System HWIL electrical architecture, cabling requirements, and chassis-level integration details to ensure alignment with evolving system designs.
  • Strategize and execute intelligent drawing integration into Zuken DS-E3 (centralized Product Data Management), ensuring version control, traceability, and cross-functional usability is maintained among a geographically distributed team.
  • Collaborate with multi-site engineering teams, suppliers, and government stakeholders to incorporate product updates and maintain configuration consistency across distributed environments.
  • Conduct design reviews of HWIL chassis equipment, test assets, and interface control artifacts to ensure compliance with electrical design standards and system requirements.
  • Ensure all documentation meets DoD drawing standards, program standards, export control constraints, and DoD security requirements.
