About The Position

The Sr Electrical Engineer provides engineering support for highly technical and advanced manufacturing processes, applying specialized qualifications, knowledge, and skills. The role includes project management and the design, development, evaluation, and quality control of highly complex engineering projects. The engineer completes projects by developing innovative solutions and applying mathematics, physical science, and advanced engineering technologies. The position serves as an authority in its area of expertise and may plan projects and manage resources across multiple individuals and disciplines to meet quality, delivery, and cost objectives. It monitors electrical product testing, troubleshoots test failures, coordinates test-limit adjustments and rework processes, and prepares technical reports and formal specifications. The engineer helps transition design concepts into production, leads development of procedures and inspection criteria, recommends design changes and testing approaches, and resolves critical engineering and production problems using advanced statistical and scientific methods. The role also determines process and material acceptability with customers and other organizations, provides technical consultation to management, leads technical project teams, implements improvements to quality, flowtime, productivity, and operational surety, and trains and mentors Engineer I, II, and III staff. The position may work remotely, hybrid, or on-site as directed by management and business needs; the posting specifies on-site work at the New Mexico Operations location and travel of 0–10% in the additional information.

Plan projects and manage resources, potentially across multiple people and disciplines, to meet quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
Monitor and analyze electrical testing of products and troubleshoot test failures.
Coordinate with stakeholders to adjust test limits and develop rework processes for defective products.
Write technical reports describing experimental results and conclusions, and incorporate findings into formal specifications.
Transition design agency concepts into production by coordinating engineering, quality, manufacturing, and related organizations.
Lead development of operating procedures, work instructions, and inspection criteria for new products and components.
Define or recommend design changes, designs of experiments, and equipment needed to assure product quality.
Plan and perform engineering testing and apply advanced statistical and scientific methods to resolve critical engineering and production problems.
Originate, refine, and release complex manufacturing or inspection work directions.
Determine the acceptability of processes and materials in conjunction with customers, the design agency, and other affected organizations.
Provide technical consultation to management and lead technical project teams.
Evaluate and implement innovations and technological advances that improve quality, reduce flowtime, improve productivity, and enhance operational surety.
Lead, train, and mentor Engineer I, II, and III employees on test processes and procedures.
