About the role

This position supports the Sentinel program and involves supporting the design of complex electrical systems, overseeing vendor documentation, managing technical data packages, conducting electrical analyses, and leading design change proposals.

Responsibilities

• Support design of complex electrical systems, ensuring compliance with weapon-system requirements, MIL-STD, UFC, and applicable codes.
• Oversee evaluation of vendor documentation, data sheets, and technical proposals for compliance and suitability.
• Create and manage Electrical Technical Data Packages, Issue-for-Construction, as-built documentation, and interface models while maintaining configuration control.
• Conduct advanced electrical analyses, trade studies, and short-circuit/arc-flash calculations using tools such as ETAP, SKM PTW32, MATLAB, or ANSYS.
• Ensure proper application and interpretation of electrical codes, standards, and hazard-area classifications throughout the design lifecycle.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks; develop and present design-change proposals and manage baseline configuration.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineering team members, promoting best practices and continuous-process improvement.
• Serve as primary liaison with external customers, vendors, and cross-functional teams, representing the organization in technical reviews.
• Integrate electrical designs with propulsion, guidance, and weapon-system interfaces to support system-level integration and testing.
• Lead adoption of Agile and model-based engineering practices, including Teamcenter/CPLM, to improve design efficiency and traceability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) discipline from an accredited university and 8 years of relevant experience, OR a Master’s degree and 6 years of relevant experience, OR a PhD and 4 years of relevant experience.
