About The Position

The qualified candidate will work on a multitude of Defense, Space and Security Commercial Derivative airplane programs such as US E-7A, VC-25B, and/or the KC-46A Tanker, among others. The engineer will develop and validate Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) requirements and architectures to integrate complex systems and components into higher level systems and platforms for the Continued Airworthiness (CAW) of these platforms. The engineer will also provide EMI/EMC expertise to design and modification efforts of products being developed throughout the company. E3 includes the following environments: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Lightning, High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), Precipitation Static, Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), among others.

Requirements

Must possess a Bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, engineering physics or physics, plus 5 or more year's experience.
Must be familiar with the Electromagnetic concepts (such as RF isolation, shielding, grounding, and filtering)
Must be willing to travel up to 25% of the time as required
5 or more years' related work experience (Career Level)
Must be U.S. Person for purposes of Export Compliance.
This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required.
