On Call Consulting Power Supply Engineer
About The Position
The On Call Consulting Power Supply Engineer designs and develops power conversion architectures using technologies from Linear Technology, Texas Instruments, and other integrated circuit manufacturers. Applications include gigabit serial interfaces, radio-frequency and electro-optical digital signal processing, controls, data links, and embedded processing platforms, with power outputs ranging from less than 1 mW to greater than 10 kW. The engineer works with system, subsystem, and hardware engineers to define requirements, develop circuit topologies, and design printed wiring board layouts. Designs are verified through SPICE simulation, laboratory verification, and formal qualification against electrical and mechanical environmental requirements, electromagnetic environmental effects requirements, and EMI/EMC compliance requirements. Support extends from requirements definition through integration and test, with design documentation and configuration management maintained throughout the product life cycle. The broader Power Design Engineering work involves full life-cycle product development, including concept-to-production development, test, and integration for electronic warfare, imaging, and embedded control systems. The salary range is based on a full-time schedule and will be prorated if the schedule is reduced. The position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance. No travel or relocation assistance is offered.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a similar engineering discipline and at least 16 years of power electronics design experience; alternatively, a relevant master’s degree and at least 14 years of power electronics design experience.
- Switch-mode power supply circuit design experience, including schematic capture, test, and integration.
- Hands-on prototyping and debug experience testing complex power systems, including switch-mode topologies and linear regulators.
- Ability to translate system performance and operational specifications into hardware requirements, designs, and test specifications.
- Demonstrated ability to lead projects with two or more team members.
- Familiarity with documentation, revision control, and review systems such as DOORS, ClearCase, and ClearQuest.
- Team leadership, mentoring, communication across organizational levels, adaptability, creativity, collaboration, ability to work independently, and problem-solving skills.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Advanced degree in electrical engineering focused on power conversion, with at least five years of power electronics design experience.
- Working knowledge of electronic warfare systems or hardware.
- Recent power supply design experience with circuit-related tools such as Cadence Concept/Allegro and LTspice.
- Working knowledge of designing high-frequency magnetics, including transformers, coupled inductors, EMI chokes, and common-mode filters.
- Experience with documentation, revision control, and review systems similar to DOORS, ClearCase, and ClearQuest.
- Project-planning skills and demonstrated ability to communicate across organizational levels, adapt, collaborate, work independently, and contribute creatively.
- Current Secret or Top Secret security clearance.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop power-conversion architectures for gigabit serial interfaces, RF and EO DSP, controls, data links, and embedded processing platforms.
