Electrical Engineer 3

United Launch Alliance•Centennial, CO

6d•$99,604 - $166,007

About The Position

This position is a detailed design engineering opportunity within the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) organization. The engineer will support design of DC control systems for Vulcan launch vehicles and the Ground Electrical Instrumentation System, including data acquisition and transducer interfacing. The role primarily focuses on modernizing EGSE launch infrastructure and integrating and fielding commercial control and data acquisition solutions in the EGSE architecture. The engineer will also implement, maintain, and troubleshoot electrical systems, working as needed with procurement, logistics, testing, other engineering functions, and operations. The position is based in the Denver metro area, with travel that may include manufacturing and launch sites. Opportunities include directly supporting Atlas and Vulcan launches and becoming an expert in a specific subsystem.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field from an ABET-accredited university or college.
At least 4 years of related work experience.
Experience with electrical CAD software, such as NX, Teamcenter, Zuken, or equivalent programs.
Ability to perform walkdowns and interface with customers.
General understanding of electrical component selection and implementation.
Understanding of circuit-level testing and troubleshooting.
Personal involvement in implementing, maintaining, and troubleshooting electrical systems or circuits.
Experience reviewing, editing, and providing feedback on statements of work, engineering drawings, parts lists, test procedures, and schematics.
Ability to integrate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware into system-level designs.
Technical knowledge of grounding and bonding principles and practices.
Understanding of basic cable, electrical, and harness design, layout, modeling, and schematics.
CAD tool knowledge.
Proven ability to communicate effectively and solve problems.
Must be a U.S. Person as defined by ITAR, because the position requires access to ITAR-controlled information.
