Electrical Integration Engineer

DESE Research, Inc.•Huntsville, AL

About The Position

DESE is seeking a collaborative and driven Electrical Integration Engineer to serve as an electrical engineering focal point and coordinate complex electrical interfaces and integration activities across multidisciplinary teams, industry partners, and government stakeholders. The role combines technical problem-solving, communication, and coordination to support successful system integration. The engineer will coordinate electrical integration from planning through execution, verification, issue resolution, and closure. They will support Interface Control Document (ICD) development and review, interface testing and bench-level verification, and system integration. They will communicate technical findings, integration risks, and proposed solutions to engineering leadership and external stakeholders. The position supports development of advanced defense systems.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Experience supporting electrical engineering design, integration, interface development, or system-level engineering activities.
Ability to coordinate technical tasks and collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.
Strong professional communication and presentation skills, including the ability to communicate technical concepts to leadership and diverse stakeholders.
Experience supporting technical meetings, design reviews, or engineering working groups.
Ability to independently manage priorities, track action items, and drive technical issues toward resolution.
Working knowledge of fundamental electrical engineering principles, including voltage, current, resistance, impedance, and power distribution.

Nice To Haves

Experience facilitating cross-functional meetings, coordinating technical stakeholders, and driving integration activities to completion.
Experience developing, reviewing, updating, or negotiating Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
Familiarity with connector specifications, pin assignments, signal definitions, voltage tolerances, and current limitations.
Experience using test benches, simulated subsystems, or other verification environments to evaluate electrical interfaces before full system integration.
Understanding of electrical circuits, power supplies, impedance, and general electrical design principles.
Experience across multiple stages of engineering development, including drawings, simulation, bench units, prototypes, production, and testing.
Familiarity with abnormal behavior analysis, Sneak Circuit Analysis, Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), or related engineering evaluation techniques.
Experience working with multiple industry contractors, government entities, or large multidisciplinary engineering organizations.
Experience with complex aerospace, missile defense, or other mission-critical electrical systems.

Responsibilities

Serve as a primary electrical engineering focal point, coordinating interface and integration activities across multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.
Lead technical discussions, interface working groups, and cross-functional meetings; manage objectives, agendas, action items, and follow-up activities.
