Electrical Engineer III - Military Aircraft Systems Integrat

Role Details

Are you ready to unleash your technical creativity? Dream, Innovate, Inspire and Empower the next generation to transform humanity through technology and imagination! Electrical engineers at Sierra Nevada Corporation research, design, develop, test, certify, deploy and improve cutting edge products and services. These cover a very wide range from advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. You\'ll conceptualize and design new products and processes throughout the product lifecycle from analog and digital electronic circuit card assemblies to fully integrated systems. The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations - with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries This specific role is within the Military Aircraft System (MAS) Business Unit of IAS\' Aircraft Integration Systems (AIS) organization. MAS responds to Customer requirements to integrate new and/or enhanced capabilities into the Customer\'s aircraft or fleet of aircraft. MAS, as the name implies, normally makes modification to aircraft originally designed to support a military purpose; most commonly MAS works with C-130 aircraft. Specific capabilities fall generally into the categories of communications systems, (ISR) sensor systems, aircraft defensive systems, and avionics systems. MAS designs a solution which incorporates the desired \"best of breed\" components, and then integrates into one or more aircraft as required. Your specific responsibilities will be to design solutions to integrate required components into an existing aircraft infrastructure, primarily through selection of appropriate connectors and creation of harnesses to move power, data, RF, etc. Must-haves: Bachelor\'s of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline and typically 6 or more years of relevant experience Demonstrated knowledge of engineering principles and practices Experience with Computer Aided Engineering tools Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams Experience with aviation electrical (power, RF, communications/data, etc) design, fabrication, and repair methods for military and/or commercial air Experience with design of 28VDC and three-phase 115VAC 400Hz power distribution/conversion/controls Familiar with Electro Magnetic Effects (EME) to include, Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) Familiar with standard interface protocols (Ethernet, RS232, RS422, RS485, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429) Proficiency in AS50881 drawing standards and practices including the development of \"production level\" technical data packages (Level 3 TDP) Wire Harness Design experience The ability to obtain and maintain a Security Clearance may be required. Preferred: Exposure to simulations through functional and logical models and system analysis Background in the Aerospace and Defense Industry Experience composing and analyzing Electrical Load Analyses (ELAs) Familiarity with design requirements related to High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) and Indirect Effects of Lightning (IEL) Knowledge of current MIL-STD-461, EMI/EMC Knowledge of industry-standard electrical design principles, to include, but not limited to model-based definition, electrical component selection, manufacturing, and production proce ses Experience with FAA and/or Military Certification processes and requirements Experience with MATLAB, PLM, ECAD (AutoCad, Zuken E3, Catia) IMPORTANT NOTICE: This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret U.S. Security Clearance. U.S. Citizenship status is required as this position needs an active U.S. Security Clearance for employment. Non-U.S. citizens may not be eligible to obtain a security clearance.
