PULSED POWER ELECTICAL ENGINEER

Job Description: The successful candidate will develop technical solutions to difficult problems related to the design, integration and test of electrical subsystems that will be integrated into directed energy products.  The candidate will work under limited supervision while determining and developing independent solutions to meet overall design objectives. This position requires frequent interaction and coordination with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, scientists, external customers, and a wide variety of support staff. Using a variety of software tools and electrical test equipment, the candidate will be responsible for stages of electrical design that span the full range of the design process.  The candidate will be expected to generate concepts, develop designs, test prototypes, and integrate subsystems into larger directed energy systems.   
  
Principle Duties and Responsibilities: 
 

• Support the pulsed power and electrical engineering efforts on a variety of programs in technical execution leadership roles, sub-team leadership roles and technical support roles.
• Design, simulation, fabrication/assembly, integration and testing of electrical systems associated with prime power, pulsed power, power electronics, and high power microwave systems.
  • Pulsed power system concept design, trade studies, and technical approach evaluations.
  • Pulsed power system high-level and detailed design.
  • Pulsed power system modeling, testing, data analysis, and reporting.
  • Design, procurement, or selection of prime power (batteries, generators, etc.) and power electronics (high voltage power supplies) needs to support pulsed power systems.
  • Electrical circuit design and simulation (Pspice, Simulink, Simplorer, Maxwell).
  • Custom electrical component design and fabrication (inductors, capacitors, transformers).
  • Selection and procurement management of commercially-available electrical components.
  • Electrical system documentation (schematics, cable diagrams, wiring diagrams, timing diagrams, simulation/analysis results, safety plans, test plans, test results)
  • Integration of electrical subsystems into larger systems.
• Collaborate and coordinate with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, technicians, and support staff.
  • Coordinate with physicists and engineers to determine electrical system requirements.
  • Coordinate with mechanical engineers to implement electrical designs in a manner that adheres to volume, weight, form factor, shock, vibration, temperature, and other environmental requirements.
  • Coordinate with software engineers to develop control circuits and associated interfaces.
  • Coordinate with other electrical engineers to develop and review designs and interface with other electrical systems.
  • Support and participate in team meetings, design reviews, engineering review boards and configuration control boards.
  • Coordinate with technicians to build and test electrical designs.
  • Coordinate with support staff to manage procurement, security, and safety requirements.
  • Coordinate with team leadership (program management, chief engineer, sub-team leads) to develop and evaluate costs and schedules and to assess technical risks and opportunities.
