Design Electrical Engineer

• Mentor and coach both government and contractor junior engineers and technicians.
• Design new ATE systems and assorted other VLS test equipment.
• Provide oversight to control software used in the new system designs. This entails either designing the software and/or working closely with a software engineer to ensure a robust and error free product.
• Provide engineering support for: acceptance; installation and checkout; troubleshooting and repair of prototype and production test systems.
• Provide engineering support to conduct test system indoctrination, maintenance, and technician and operator training.
• Provide appropriate schematics, diagrams and write specifications to clarify design details of prototype/experimental electronics units.
• Supervise the fabrication and assembly of prototype and production electrical and electronic systems.
• Collaborate with the technicians to identify solutions to technical design problems that arise during design, fabrication, and checkout of electrical systems.
• Supervise the creation of the technical data package (manuals, procedures, drawings, etc.) of the candidate’s new system design.
• Ensure that all design documentation is complete and error free.
• Inspect existing designs for quality, common design practices, potential component EOL issues, optimization, improvement, and potential cost reductions. The candidate will report findings and provide recommendations to the appropriate entities.
• Redline technical data packages (manuals, procedures, drawings, etc.) to reflect changes and errors in design or implementation.
• Provide engineering support for All-Up Round (AUR) Built-In-Test (BIT) systems and other launcher and canister test equipment. This support includes but is not limited to test set layout; hardware and test set configurations; test set to AUR interface support; installation and checkout.
