Electrical Engineer - Aerial Targets

This role supports sustainment of electrical systems for fielded high-speed aerial target and unmanned aircraft, including integration of new components, resolution of obsolescence issues, and execution of Engineering Change Orders, with opportunities to support limited design tasks alongside senior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Support sustainment engineering for fielded UAS electrical systems, including air vehicles and ground control stations, including root cause analysis and corrective action for issues identified in production, test, or the field
• Execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) on fielded air vehicles and ground control stations, updating schematics, drawings, and documentation to reflect approved changes
• Support integration of new or replacement components into existing air vehicle and ground control station electrical systems, including obsolescence resolution and form/fit/function substitutions
• Support electrical integration efforts and help troubleshoot system-level issues on fielded air vehicles and ground support equipment
• Assist with limited circuit board design and schematic capture updates as needed to support sustainment and integration efforts
• Support development and updates of test plans, specifications, and verification procedures for electrical systems
• Support electrical testing activities and help validate system performance against requirements
• Participate in technical reviews and design reviews with internal teams
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, and systems engineering
• Support manufacturing engineering efforts including design for manufacturability and production support
• Prepare technical documentation including ECO packages, design notes, test results, and technical briefings

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles including analog, digital, and power systems
• Ability to read and develop wiring diagrams and schematics
• Strong troubleshooting and hands-on debug skills
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Must be a U.S. Person as defined by ITAR regulations and able to access ITAR and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information)
• Willingness to travel occasionally to support flight test

Nice to have

• 0-5 years of electrical, electronics, or avionics engineering experience; relevant internship, co-op, or academic project experience considered
• Exposure to avionics, flight controls, or UAS/UAV systems
• Experience with schematic capture and/or PCB layout tools (Altium, Eagle, OrCAD, or similar)
• Familiarity with communication links, telemetry, or RF systems
• Hands-on lab experience: soldering, wiring harness fabrication, bench testing
• Experience with avionics, flight control systems, or autopilot systems
• Knowledge of power distribution systems, battery management, and energy storage
• Experience with RF systems, antennas, telemetry, or communications systems
• Familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD-461, or other aerospace electrical standards
• Exposure to embedded systems development and hardware-software integration
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or other engineering analysis tools

Benefits

• Competitive Salary/Comprehensive Benefits Package
