Electrical Engineer III/IV

Zone 5 Technologies • Fort Walton Beach, FL

7h • $116,000 - $200,000

About The Position

Zone 5 Technologies is seeking a highly motivated Electrical Engineer III/IV to design, develop, test, and support electrical systems for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The position includes overseeing small projects and wire-harness production work, and calls for experience producing, diagnosing, and troubleshooting wire harnesses and circuits in UAS platforms. The engineer will use Altium to document wire-harness designs and serve as the Avionics liaison between engineering and the production line.

During the first three months, the engineer will learn the company's development processes and systems, work on existing UAS electrical projects, and participate in cross-functional integration efforts. By six months, the role is expected to take on more responsibility, including leading small electrical systems projects and closing out avionics non-conformance reports (NCRs) from the production line. By twelve months, the engineer is expected to take full responsibility as liaison between the avionics design engineering team and the production line.

The listed pay range is $116,000–$200,000 USD, with level- and location-specific ranges: SLO—Level III $131,000–$161,000 and Level IV $160,000–$200,000; FWB/DFW—Level III $116,000–$150,000 and Level IV $145,000–$190,000. The company describes its work as developing autonomous UAS solutions for defense and aerospace.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience.
• Experience diagnosing and troubleshooting circuits in UAS platforms.
• Proficiency in Altium for circuit-board and wire-harness design.
• Knowledge of analog and digital circuits, power supplies, and CAN bus communication.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work well in a team environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test electrical systems and components for UAS platforms.
• Develop and debug microcontroller systems and circuits.
• Work with mechanical and software engineers to integrate electrical systems into UAS platforms.
• Develop and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, and electrical-system documentation for UAS platforms.
• Act as the Avionics liaison between engineering and the production line.
• Address and close out non-conformances from the production line.
• Develop and perform electrical tests and test procedures to verify system functionality.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality electrical systems.
• Lead small electrical systems projects as responsibility increases.
• Take responsibility for closing out avionics NCRs from the production line and, over time, serve as the liaison between the avionics design engineering team and production.

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package.
• Comprehensive benefit package options, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Three weeks of paid time off each year.
• 40 hours of sick time.
