About The Position

The Sr. Associate, Electrical Engineer designs and develops electrical systems for integrating electronic equipment on military and commercial aircraft and ground stations. Work may include avionics, RF, LAN, data processing, sensor systems, power distribution, electrical-load analysis, and load-shedding schemes, with opportunities to support aircraft system testing and integration. The role supports a variety of tasks and aircraft systems across multiple platforms. The engineer creates and reviews system wiring diagrams, circuit-breaker panels, control panels, and other design items using PLM and CAD tools, including Capital Harness, NX, and TeamCenter. The position also involves researching and preparing engineering drawings and coordinating design activities with Systems Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production to meet requirements at minimum cost. The engineer leads a small team, trains and mentors junior engineers, and learns L3Harris technical process specifications and related design practices. The role is based on-site in Plano, Texas, on a 9/80 schedule: 80 hours over nine workdays in each 14-day period, with every other Friday off. The position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance and to travel to and from flight lines and work in aircraft hangars; some positions require boarding and exiting aircraft. Travel or relocation may be necessary.
