Controls Engineer II / Electrical Engineer II
About the role
As a Controls Engineer II, you’ll support the design, development, testing, and integration of control systems for advanced ground station antennas and Optical Telescopes. Working alongside experienced electrical, controls, mechanical, software, and systems engineers, you’ll increase your experience with motion control, embedded systems, motors, servo drives, and antenna tracking systems. This is an opportunity for an early career Electrical Engineer to support real-world engineering challenges while developing expertise in satellite communications and precision motion-control systems. This position requires U.S. citizenship due to specific government contract requirements and/or the need to obtain or maintain a U.S. government security clearance. Candidates who do not meet these requirements, including lawful permanent residents, EAD holders, and foreign nationals with temporary work authorization, are not eligible for consideration.
Responsibilities
- Participates in electrical requirements, functional, and performance analysis for electrical components, equipment, and systems, including timing, power, and other system-level considerations.
- Designs and develops electrical and control systems for full-motion ground station antennas and Optical Telescopes, including system configuration, component selection, schematic capture, layout, and integration.
- Designs, integrates, and tests analog and digital electronics, wiring, harnesses, and connectorization for servo and RF systems.
- Develops, tunes, and troubleshoots PID control loops and embedded C applications for motion-control systems.
- Supports the development and documentation of electrical and control system architectures using CAN bus or similar communication protocols.
- Integrates and tests brushless DC motors, servo drives, encod
