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 consisting of multiple circuit card designs, with responsibility for ensuring performance to requirements. The engineer has overall technical responsibility for the architecture and design of electronic payloads and serves as the primary electronic point of contact for internal and external segments, test, and operations. The role coordinates or performs test, analysis, and integration activities to ensure the system meets customer and mission requirements; coordinates subsystem electrical work and required design documentation and review packages; and technically leads detailed CCA designers while interfacing CCA and systems designs. The position is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The work schedule is 9/80: employees work 80 hours over nine days in each 14-day period, with every other Friday off. A sign-on bonus of up to $25,000 may be included in the offer package for this level.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 4 years of related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of related experience.
- Subsystem leadership experience in electrical engineering.
- 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 proposal, design and development, integration and test, and operations.
- Ability to make risk-based decisions balancing 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.
- Knowledge of 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 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 tools such as DOORs, PSPICE, MathCAD, Matlab, Simulink, Allegro, and MentorGraphics.
- Ability to travel as required.
Responsibilities
- Manage and maintain electrical integration of electronic subsystems, mission payloads, and communications payloads according to internal and external ICDs.
- Generate and coordinate electrical design specifications and internal and external interface documents, including requirements derivation, allocation, and flow up and 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 or complete electrical integration activities, including power, grounding schemes, and telemetry and command allocations.
- Support AIT planning and execution of electrical integration testing of hardware and software, from CCA to subsystem level, including troubleshooting.
- Maintain cognizance 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 own and oversee subsystem integration across the program lifecycle.
- Represent subsystem electrical engineering at system-level design reviews, including SRR, SDR, PDR, and CDR, and milestone reviews, including 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 or support delivery of Customer CDRLs.
- Lead and guide detailed CCA designers and serve as the interface between CCA and systems designs.
- Lead diverse technical teams across internal and subcontractor efforts.
Benefits
- Sign-on bonus of up to $25,000 may be included as part of an offer package for this level.
