The ideal candidate is a team player; but also, a strong independent contributor with strong leadership skills, demonstrated problem-solving skills, excellent communication skills, as well as interpersonal and organizational skills and a proactive, detail-oriented approach.

Primary responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to:

• Lead the design and integration of complex electrical systems and interfaces for the SLCM-N weapon system, ensuring compliance with system requirements, MIL-STD/UFC, and applicable electrical codes and standards.

• Direct the development, review, and configuration control of Electrical Technical Data Packages, including schematics, cable/harness drawings, circuit-card documentation, IFC, as-built documentation, and interface models.

• Perform and oversee advanced electrical analyses, trade studies, and short-circuit/coordination/arc-flash calculations using tools such as ETAP, SKM PTW32, MATLAB, or ANSYS to inform design decisions and risk reductions in the TMRR phase.

• Evaluate vendor documentation, data sheets, and technical proposals for technical adequacy, compliance, and risk, and provide clear recommendations to management and customers.

• Ensure proper application and interpretation of electrical codes, standards, hazard-area classifications, and weapon-system safety requirements throughout the design lifecycle.

• Identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks; develop and present design-change proposals; and manage electrical design baselines in coordination with program configuration-management processes.

• Integrate electrical designs with propulsion, guidance, control, and weapon-system subsystems to support system-level integration, verification, and test planning.

• Mentor and provide technical leadership to engineering team members and cross-functional partners, promoting best practices, continuous-process improvement, and knowledge sharing across the Tactical SMT.

• Serve as primary technical liaison with external customers, suppliers, and internal program stakeholders, representing the organization in technical reviews, audits, and working groups.

• Lead adoption and use of digital engineering and Agile/model-based practices (e.g., Siemens NX electrical CAD, Teamcenter/CPLM and related tools) to improve design efficiency, traceability, and lifecycle data management.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) discipline from an accredited university and 12 years of relevant experience, OR a Masters degree and 10 years of relevant experience, OR a PhD and 8 years of relevant experience.

• Must have the ability to obtain and maintain Top Secret Clearance and Special Access Program (SAP) approval within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the company to meet its business needs

• Demonstrated experience in electrical design for complex systems (e.g., power distribution, cable/harness, circuit-card, and control-system design) using Siemens NX or equivalent electrical CAD tools, including review of engineering specifications, schematics, and drawings and translation of customer requirements into design specifications.

• Experience reviewing engineering specifications, schematics, and/or drawings and translating customer-driven requirements into compliant electrical specifications, including use of simulation/analysis tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience performing short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies using ETAP, SKM PTW32, or similar electrical analysis tools.

• Proficiency in electrical CAD platforms such as NX, Revit, or comparable systems, including cable/harness and panel layout design.

• Hands-on experience with simulation/analysis tools (ANSYS, MATLAB) and model-based engineering environments (Teamcenter/CPLM) for requirements and configuration management.

• Demonstrated experience with continuous process improvement and Agile methodologies, including working with data-transmission formats (e.g., Serial, TCP/IP, Fiber) and integrating supplier-delivered designs into system-level architectures. 

• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, excellent communication skills, as well as interpersonal and organizational skills and a proactive, detail-oriented approach.
