The Electrical Power and Control Systems (EPCS) Department within the Undersea Systems Office (USO) of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State University is seeking motivated and talented Electrical Propulsion and Power Systems (EPPS) engineers to join our teams. You will take part with multidisciplinary engineering teams in the development of cutting edge electric and hybrid electric propulsion and power systems for undersea vehicles including design and control of energy storage systems, integration of electric motor and controllers, power management, and laboratory/field testing for Department of Defense and related applications. ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply. You Will: Drive the full life cycle design and development process to identify competitive, efficient and elegant electric and hybrid electric propulsion systems and sub-systems Participate in system requirements identification, flow-down, and functional allocation Execute detailed design stages including early design and development processes (market surveys, analysis of alternatives, interface control documents, functional design documents, and test plans/reports) followed by design reviews, design acceptance and documentation packages Capture approved hardware designs using state of the art CAD tools and then demonstrate the design satisfies the identified requirements and expectations during large scale system integration exercises and requirement verification stages Test EPPS designs by applying advanced hardware-in-the-loop test methods to support integration with larger systems of systems Support laboratory and field testing of prototype EPPS to demonstrate final design This position can be filled at multiple levels, depending upon your education and experience. Minimally requires a Bachelor’s Degree; Master’s Degree preferred. Additional experience and/or education and competencies may be required for higher levels.
