Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics Design Lead

Duties and Responsibilities

• Work with GA-EMS Electrical Engineering staff and chief engineers in the concept development and prototype design, integration, and test of power electronics for HEL systems, advanced sensors, and space-based laser communications.
• Demonstrate prior experience in the improvement of legacy systems and development of new systems.
• Generate electrical architecture solutions for new project needs, perform electrical engineering analyses for systems and circuits, document findings, communicate results to engineering and program management staff, give technical presentations, and manage technical effort schedules.
• Responsible for guiding the successful resolution of engineering problems, serve as a consulting resource for engineering knowledge, apply the latest technological advancements to the problem, and will often function in a project leadership role.
• May lead a cross-functional engineering team in technical efforts involving Ultra-High Power Lithium-Ion batteries, very compact power converters, or space-based electrical systems.
• Contribute to complex, electrical/optical/mechanical engineering efforts with hardware and personnel safety in mind while exercising business strategy, political savvy, and technical acumen.
• Grasp, understand, correlate, and apply concepts in electrical engineering to pieces in a complex system.
• Assignments will normally be outlined in terms of broad specifications, objectives, possible results anticipated, and critical reference points requiring special attention.
• May represent the organization as the prime technical contact on projects.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a bachelor's degree, master's degree, or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; twelve (12) or more years of experience with a bachelor’s degree, ten (10) or more years of experience with a master’s degree, or seven (7) or more years with a PhD.
• May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a DoD secret clearance is required.

Required Experience

• Power Electronics; pulsed power systems; both analog and digital circuit design.

Desirable Experience

• Power systems; power supplies; multiphase DC-to-DC converters; embedded controls in power electronics; digital or microprocessor control of power supplies; guiding a design through development and into production; familiarity with DoD technical review process (at a minimum, SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR); analysis, design, and implementation of hardware systems to include digital, analog, RF, laser, and optical.
