About The Position

The Electrical Design Engineer will support the MSFC (Marshall Space Flight Center) ES34 Electrical Design, Imaging, and Sensors team within Amentum Space Exploration Division’s Space Systems Department. The role serves as a coordinator among engineers in multiple disciplines, with a focus on electrical system design. Work includes supporting analog and controls design, developing electrical concepts and hardware solutions, analyzing test and performance data, and preparing and executing PCB tests. The engineer also contributes to technical reviews and meetings and provides status updates to project and department management. The position is based in an office environment and involves extensive computer and office-equipment use, technical communication, and collaboration with coworkers, management, and the client. Domestic travel is required. The normal workday is 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; minimal overtime may be needed to meet milestones or technical demands.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; a degree from an ABET-accredited institution is required.
At least five years of related experience is desired.
Experience or capability in design, analysis, and development of electronics, including signal conditioning, digital, and operational-amplifier designs.
Ability to translate requirements into detailed electrical architectures and block diagrams, and decompose architectures into hardware design solutions.
Ability to create electrical schematic designs and multilayer PCB layouts.
Ability to troubleshoot hardware failures and balance multiple work assignments.
Familiarity with integrating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components into designs.
Familiarity with producing engineering drawings and design documentation, such as interface control documents and design specifications.
Familiarity with writing and executing test procedures and performing electrical-system verification.
Excellent communication and technical writing skills.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and exercise good judgment.
Proof of U.S. citizenship is required.
