About The Position

The Parts, Libraries, and Obsolescence Department seeks a Components Engineer to support the circuit card design process by helping turn designs into robust and reliable products. The role interfaces with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to develop high-quality, producible designs. Team members are exposed to all phases of the circuit card lifecycle, from development through production, and present findings at program design reviews. The position supports Component Engineering by selecting and specifying electrical components, determining whether their applications comply with requirements, and helping ensure cost-effective, robust parts are used. It also involves developing component risk and verification data packages, supporting preferred-parts standardization, addressing obsolescence, and meeting customer component requirements. The role is onsite in Tucson, Arizona. An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date; U.S. citizenship is required for eligibility for a clearance.
