Job Summary

The Electrical Engineer is a key member of a cross-disciplinary team driving the design, development and execution of actuation systems program for the next generation of military and commercial aircraft. The Electrical Engineer works on the development of new products, and the improvement and sustainment of products. Engineering duties will span the entire product lifecycle, from initial design and requirements capture through manufacture and field support.

Essential Job Functions
• Candidate is expected to be able to lead the design of the required circuitry (Digital, Analog, and Power) and integrate the circuit design with software to support system architecture. Designs will be to Aerospace standards including but not limited to DO-160 and DO-254
• Integrate Hardware and software for embedded microprocessor devices and firmware-based FPGA devices.
• Design and development of embedded systems circuitry and printed circuit assemblies according to IPC standards.
• Generate design documentation including requirements specifications, design details, test procedures and reports.
• Prepare and review the drawings and layouts for production parts, components, and test equipment.
• Create, document and test software and hardware to validate design details
• Lead multi-discipline design reviews both internally with peers and externally with customers.
• Evaluate design changes for impact to product design, cost, and schedule.
• Ensure the timely and efficient completion of projects to achieve the company's strategic and financial goals.
• Product engineering estimates for individual tasks up to complete electronic designs.
• Lead and perform root cause investigation on new development and fielded products.
• Perform product troubleshooting and lab testing.
• Support trade studies and proposals
• Demonstrate an understanding of internal processes, methods, and tools.
• Other duties may be assigned.
