Overview

Must be able to obtain a Secret Clearance. US Citizenship Required.

The Company's Central Maintenance Computing (CMCS) 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, and then analyses and translates requirements into system, hardware and software designs and interface specifications.

A System Design Electrical Engineer also performs tests and validations to ensure system designs meet operational and functional requirements, as well as monitors supplier performance to ensure system integration and compliance with requirements.

A System Design Electrical Engineer solves problems concerning support of fielded hardware and software over the entire product lifecycle, while researching specific technology advances for potential application to company business needs.

Position Responsibilities

• 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 sell-off verification
• System test requirement analysis and interface design
• Develop electrical wiring required to adapt to test articles and sub-assemblies
• Support 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 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 and architectures and perform trade studies (including integration with interfacing engineering discipline model-based design toolsets)

12+ months - possible extension and possible FTE opportunity.
