Senior Electrical Engineer (Sensor Systems)

As a Senior Electrical Engineer on the Sensor Systems team, you will design, test, and validate proximity sensors for autonomous vehicles, handling full lifecycle design from concept through production. You will develop PCB designs, system interconnect diagrams, and wire harnesses, and collaborate with other air vehicle subsystem teams. Your work will involve vendor surveys, design reviews, lab and flight testing, and root cause analysis to support field operations.

Responsibilities

• Design, test, and validation of proximity sensors for our autonomous vehicles.
• Vehicle-level integrations and complete lifecycle design from concept through production.
• Full cycle PCB design including establishing or collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug and integration with the system.
• Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment.
• Provide support and collaborate within other air vehicle subsystem development constraints.
• Vendor surveys and evaluation to support sourcing for system components.
• Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews
• Build up and test of engine system components through lab, ground, and flight tests
• Root cause analysis in support of field operations

Requirements

• BS/MS or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 7+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs.
