Electrical Engineer - Counter-UAS (C-UAS)Position SummaryWe are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). This role focuses on electrical architecture, power distribution, signal integrity, and integration of advanced sensor and countermeasure technologies. The ideal candidate will have experience working with complex, mission-critical systems in defense, aerospace, or similar high-reliability environments.
Key Responsibilities- Design and develop electrical systems and architectures for C-UAS platforms, including power distribution, signal routing, and grounding strategies
- Support integration of radar, RF detection systems, EO/IR sensors, communications equipment, and countermeasure technologies
- Create schematics, wiring diagrams, harness designs, and electrical documentation
- Perform electrical analysis, including power budgets, noise/interference mitigation, and signal integrity assessments
- Collaborate with RF, software, mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure seamless system integration
- Support PCB design and review processes, including layout guidance for EMI/EMC performance
- Develop and execute test plans for electrical subsystems, including bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting
- Ensure compliance with military and industry standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, DO-160)
- Interface with vendors and manufacturers for component selection, procurement, and production support
- Support field testing, debugging, and system deployment activities
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
- 5+ years of experience in electrical design and system integration
- Strong understanding of power systems, analog/digital circuitry, and embedded interfaces
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium, OrCAD, KiCad, etc.)
- Knowledge of EMI/EMC principles and mitigation techniques
- Experience troubleshooting complex electrical systems
- Familiarity with common communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, CAN)
- Ability to work in multidisciplinary engineering teams
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with C-UAS, UAV, electronic warfare, or radar systems
- Background in RF systems or high-frequency design considerations
- Experience with power electronics, battery systems, or ruggedized hardware
- Knowledge of SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) constraints for mobile or deployable systems
- Familiarity with FPGA-based systems or high-speed digital design
- Experience supporting environmental and qualification testing
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Active security clearance or ability to obtain one
Key Skills- Electrical system architecture and design
- Power distribution and management
- EMI/EMC compliance and mitigation
- System integration and troubleshooting
