ELECTRICAL ENGINEER I with Security Clearance

About the Role

Under direct supervision, the Electrical Engineer I will support the design of electrical systems for aircraft installations and work on a diverse set of Aerospace projects from rapid modification of aircraft.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist Senior Engineers with electrical schematics and harness diagrams of UAV and the ground station.
• Provide support for COTS avionics interconnections to the baseline electrical systems.
• Maintain and update custom avionics technical data packages.
• Manage the aircraft power budget (generation capacity vs power draw).
• Create manufacturing and integration technical data packages, including schematics, bill of materials, and manufacturing instructions.
• Collaborate with other electrical engineers for requested changes to the baseline design.
• Review and plan requested feature additions or changes to the electrical system, including estimating schedule, budget, and tasking.
• Coordinate with team leads from Mechanical, Aerospace, and Software departments.
• Coordinate with mechanical and electrical technicians for integration of harnesses and new payloads, including TDP development and post-installation test verifications.
• Coordinate with quality assurance for sign-off of design and work quality.
• Plan and execute electrical systems tests toward FAA or DoD aircraft standards.
• Propose recommendations for electrical system changes within provided technical roadmap and strategy documents.
• Other duties as assigned and/or required.

Requirements & Tech Stack
