• Accredited Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
• 3+ years familiarity with electrical avionics system design including electrical systems and subsystems design, interface cable design between electrical system and platform, electrical hardware/software integration, coordination with vendors for part selection, and general test experience to do hardware/software testing of the system in a lab.
• Experience or knowledge of VPX/VME form factor.
• Experience or knowledge of RS422/RS232, PC104, TCP/IP & Ethernet, IEEE-488, MMSI, and MIL-STD-1553 communication standards, protocols and/or interface.
• Technical system domain knowledge (e.g. air vehicle and/or weapons).
• Experience with product/systems development and integration.

Position Responsibilities

Client team in St. Louis, Missouri has immediate and exciting opportunities for Experienced Mid-Level System Design Electrical Engineers to support multiple critical programs.

The electrical design work will be in support of developing maintenance equipment to include connections between equipment and aircraft subsystems, network infrastructure, and computing hardware supporting instrumentation and network system connections. Additionally, the engineer will provide support for fabrication, installation/connection, and required verification to deliver a ready-for-test setup. The equipment and software for the CMCS is used to support all phases of platform/weapon development and sustainment lifecycle. This individual will work in a team environment to develop, test, and repair the hardware design for the CMCS system.

A System Design Electrical Engineer in this role works with customers to develop and document complex electronic and electrical system requirements, analyze and translate requirements into system, hardware and software designs and interface specifications. The engineer also performs tests and validations to ensure system designs meet operational and functional requirements, monitors supplier performance to ensure system integration and compliance with requirements, and solves problems concerning fielded hardware and software throughout the product lifecycle.

• Hardware/software integration support
• Design and documentation of electrical systems, components, connections, and interfaces
• System schematic analysis and design
• System requirements analysis and development
• System selloff/verification
• System test requirements analysis and development interface design
• Develop electrical wiring required to adapt to test articles & sub-assemblies
• Support of lab or flight test instrumentation and data acquisition
• Selection of electrical hardware (cables, connectors, shielding, terminal blocks, etc.)
• Installation support and collaboration with lab test personnel
• Support of problem resolution associated with fielded hardware and software over the entire product lifecycle
• Utilize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools such as DOORS, Cameo, and mathematical modeling and simulation to develop system definitions/architectures and perform trade studies (includes integration with interfacing engineering disciplines model-based design tool sets)

Successful completion of training is a contingency for this assignment – OJT or formal classroom training.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience or knowledge of cyber security principals or cyber certifications
• Experience or knowledge of network design
• Experience or knowledge of common military standards used in hardware design and testing (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1472, etc.)
• Experience with CAD and creating electrical schematics
• Experience with implementation and maintenance of systems engineering tools, schedules and metrics (i.e. DOORs, CAMEO, earned value management)
• Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• CompTIA Security+ certification

Required Education

Minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree and typically 5 or more years' experience in an engineering classification or a Master's degree with typically 3 or more years' experience in an engineering classification or a PhD degree with experience in an engineering classification. Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

Work Hours

Full‑Time / First Shift: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM.
