Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related STEM field.
Active Secret clearance (interim required at start).
Advanced knowledge of digital, analog, and RF circuit design; extensive experience with cable harness engineering, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC mitigation.
Proven experience with cable design and integration of complex electrical subsystems.
Strong hands‑on skills with lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, EMI test gear).
Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, influence senior stakeholders, and produce clear technical documentation and presentations.
Must be a US Citizen for consideration.

Nice To Haves

Additional technical training or certifications in HWIL, RF design, or advanced simulation is preferred.
Demonstrated success leading HWIL programs or large scale electrical integration efforts.
Experience with flight software integration, real time operating systems, and high performance computing applied to HWIL.
Knowledge of industry standards and Lockheed Martin best practices for HWIL electrical design.
Experience coordinating with government customers for test support.
Advanced certifications or training in RF design, high speed digital, or systems engineering.
