Power & Analog Hardware Electrical Engineer I

About the Role

The Effector Guidance Electronics (EGE) department is responsible for all aspects of subsystem design, test, and production. The Power Electronics & Controls (PE&C) team engineers complex power systems, analog design, linear control systems, and/or motor control systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, analyze (including thermal considerations), simulate, and test power conversion circuitry potentially utilizing any standard non-isolated power conversion topologies (buck, boost, buck-boost) including modules and discrete designs.
• Guide Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout of power circuitry and technical drawing creation.
• Perform design work within the bounds of a given schedule.
• Present reviews of technical data to program leadership and technical staff.
• Provide solutions to a variety of technical problems of moderate scope and complexity, working under general supervision.
• Frequent use and application of technical standards, principles, concepts, and techniques.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• U.S. citizenship is required.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
• DoD Clearance: Secret (Active and existing required after day 1).
• Experience in low-level electronics components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and/or transistors, etc. and the ability to design with them.
• Experience with any of the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck-boost.
• Experience with design, analysis, and test with analog electronic design and analysis, including FET, BJT, and/or Op-amp circuits.
• Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Lab experience specific to power electronics and/or controls electronics.
• Demonstrated use of software tools for electrical circuit simulation and/or printed circuit board layout.
• Understanding of fundamental power conversion concepts, components, and techniques.
• Basic understanding of commonly used power converter and/or motor drive control schemes.
• Familiarity with circuit simulators such as SIMPLIS, Saber and/or analysis tool Mathcad.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
