EAP Power Electrical Engineer I

RTX•Tucson, AZ

1d•$57,200 - $108,800•Onsite

About The Position

The EAP Department is responsible for the development, from concept to integration, of Telemetry and Flight Termination products; power systems from all up round to the lowest level power regulation; servo electronics supporting all mechanical motion in our products and low noise mixed signal electronics that provides the analog to digital interface to our front-end sensors. Each of these products generally operate in lower power and voltage ranges less than 10kW and 1000V. This position requires a security clearance. DCSA Consolidated Adjudication Services (DCSA CAS), an agency of the Department of Defense, handles and adjudicates the security clearance process. More information about Security Clearances can be found on the US Department of State government website here: https://www.state.gov/m/ds/clearances/c10978.htm As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid or remote.

Requirements

Requires a bachelor's degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and less than a year of prior relevant experience.
Design, analysis, test, and/or simulation experience with one or more of the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck-boost.
Experience using tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or other similar tools.
Experience with analog electronics design, including at least one of the following: FETs/BJTs, op-amp, high/low/band pass filters, clock/data termination, and comparator circuits.
The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Nice To Haves

Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small team level.
Experience in any one of the following: Familiarity with wide bandgap devices (SiC, GaN) in power electronics designs.
Simulators such as SIMPLIS or SABER, or Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, and/or Hyperlynx.
Acting as a liaison between program and functional management in a cross-matrixed organization.
Military specifications.
Design considerations for voltages > 400V and/or power > 10kW. Three-phase power systems, power factor control, and inverter/rectifier development.
Program management tools such as Earned Value.
Proposal development.

Responsibilities

Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will dominantly involve non-isolated and isolated switch mode power converters and linear converters. Main emphasis is on board-mounted power end use applications.
Help to see circuit card development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
Test and validate circuit card designs by developing test procedures, performing data capture, and analyzing results to confirm adherence to project requirements.
Guide ECAD drafters through layout and routing activities, with moderate support from senior engineers. Assist in layer stackup definition.
