Job description

Chipton-Ross is seeking an Electrical Engineer for a contract opportunity in Stratford, CT.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE):

• Proficiency with real time simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, NI VeriStand).
• Strong understanding of hardware integration, signal conditioning, power distribution, and data acquisition systems.
• Familiarity with aerospace standards and specifications (e.g., Arinc-429, MIL-STD-1553, DO 160, MIL STD 810, ARP 4754).
• Ability to create schematics and block diagrams using Visio, Mentor Graphics, Zuken, and 3DX.
• Experience managing parts logistics—ordering, receiving, inventory control, and vendor coordination

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:

• HWIL/Closed Loop Development: Assist the FCA&E Lab Lead in designing, building, integrating, and testing HWIL and closed loop configurations within the SILS, ensuring compliance with design specifications, safety standards, and Sikorsky engineering practices.
• Hardware Integration: Receive, stage, and integrate hardware from subsystem teams; manage interface control documents; and coordinate cross functional wiring, power, and data connections across system, segment, and supporting engineering groups.
• Technical Collaboration: Participate actively in technical interchange meetings, provide clear status updates, and contribute to the preparation of deliverables for internal and external customers.
• Risk & Issue Management: Track laboratory level risks and issues, maintain issue logs, and promptly elevate concerns to the FCA&E Lab Lead or program management while proposing mitigation actions.
• Metrics & Reporting: Capture key performance indicators (KPIs) for SILS activities, generate concise status reports, and assist in metrics dashboards that reflect progress, resource utilization, and test outcomes.
