Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (Subsystem Design) (Fort Wayne, IN)
About The Position
L3Harris' Space and Mission Systems is seeking an Electrical Engineer with subsystem leadership experience. The role is the primary electrical systems engineering position for a mission payload composed of multiple circuit card designs, with responsibility for ensuring performance to requirements. The engineer has overall technical responsibility for the electronic payload architecture and design and serves as the primary electronic point of contact for internal and external segments, test, and operations. The position coordinates and/or performs test, analysis, and integration activities to verify compliance with customer and mission requirements. It coordinates subsystem electrical efforts to produce contractually required system design documents and design-review technical packages, and technically leads detailed CCA designers while interfacing between CCA and systems designs. The role is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and follows a 9/80 schedule: employees work 9 out of every 14 days, totaling 80 hours, with every other Friday off. A sign-on bonus of up to $25,000 may be included in an offer package for this level.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 4 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of prior related experience.
- Ability to obtain a Secret U.S. security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with electrical integration of electronics to meet mission performance.
- Experience leading electrical engineering teams.
- Demonstrated experience leading electrical engineering teams through all phases of a space program, including pursuits and proposals, design and development, integration and test, and operations.
- Ability to make risk-based decisions that balance technical, cost, and schedule considerations.
- Ability to lead, review, and coordinate electrical analyses and trades, including power budgets, fault/failure analysis, EMI/EMC, grounding, signal/interface compatibility, and worst-case analysis.
- Experience with electrical integration, testing, and troubleshooting of complex systems.
- Experience developing or coordinating physical and functional electrical interface details, including first-order circuit compatibility, voltage levels, current ratings, connector types, pin configurations, grounding requirements, signal protocols, data rates, communications interfaces, and EMI/EMC/ESD considerations.
- Experience with electrical requirements validation, interface definition and closure, interconnect diagram development and ownership, sell-off, and milestone entry/exit criteria.
- Familiarity with electrical engineering processes and/or subsystems such as power, command and data handling (C&DH), and telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C).
- Experience performing worst-case analysis for power, analog, digital, and EMI across environmental requirements and derating.
- Familiarity with DOORs, PSPICE, MathCAD, Matlab, Simulink, Allegro, and MentorGraphics.
Responsibilities
- Manage and maintain electrical integration of electronic subsystems, mission payloads, and communications payloads according to internal and external interface control documents (ICDs).
- Generate and coordinate electrical design specifications and internal and external interface documents, including requirements derivation, allocation, and flow-up/flow-down.
- Derive and flow system-level electrical, interface, environmental, and applicable physical-constraint requirements to subsystem, CCA, FPGA, software/firmware, and test-equipment implementation specifications.
- Ensure electrical functional and physical allocations, changes, and requirements compliance are addressed throughout subsystem design.
- Coordinate and/or complete electrical integration activities, including power, grounding schemes, and telemetry and command allocations.
- Support the AIT organization in planning and conducting electrical integration testing of hardware and software from CCA through subsystem level, including execution and troubleshooting.
- Maintain awareness of and communicate changes to subcontractor and in-house electrical design baselines, pinouts, and interfaces.
- Work with Software, Mechanical, and Integration and Test teams to oversee subsystem integration across the program lifecycle.
- Represent subsystem electrical engineering at system-level design reviews (SRR, SDR, PDR, and CDR) and milestone reviews (MRR, TRR, PSF, LRR, and MDR).
- Lead or participate in failure review boards, engineering review boards, and change control boards to coordinate electrical impacts.
- Create and/or support delivery of customer CDRLs.
- Lead and guide detailed CCA designers and serve as the interface between CCA designs and systems designs.
- Lead diverse technical teams across internal and subcontractor efforts.
- Travel as required.
Benefits
- Sign-on bonus of up to $25,000 may be included as part of an offer package for this level.
- 9/80 work schedule, with every other Friday off.
