• Design, develop, test, and maintain electrical systems including motor control centers, power distribution units, unit substations, lighting systems, transformers, and switchgear.
• Perform diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repair of electrical systems and components to ensure continuous operational performance.
• Conduct inspections and functional testing of wiring, circuits, and systems to detect faults, deterioration, or potential hazards.
• Execute electrical load testing, insulation testing, and preventative diagnostics to assess system performance and identify potential failures.
• Support the integration and maintenance of variable speed drives, motors, and building automation systems.
• Interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications to guide installations and repairs.
• Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, and operational teams to implement safe and effective electrical solutions.
• Maintain accurate documentation of work performed, including test results, system upgrades, and repairs.
• Stay up to date with electrical codes, industry standards, and safety practices.
• Participate in the research and development of advanced electrical systems, including communication circuitry, control/test equipment, and radiation detection technologies, as applicable.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• TS/SCI w/ Poly Clearance is required
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field. Experience can be considered in lieu of a degree.
• 4–8 years of relevant experience (or 2–6 years with a Master’s degree) in electrical or electronic systems design, development, and testing.
• Strong understanding of electrical/electronic theory and system-level design principles.
• Proficiency in analog and digital circuit design and troubleshooting.
• Experience with radar, RF, or communication systems and related test equipment.
• Working knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP), control systems, and embedded systems.
• Experience with circuit design and simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, MATLAB).
• Familiarity with hardware description languages (e.g., VHDL) and programming languages (e.g., Python).
• Ability to conduct experiments and analyze data to validate designs.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems and design innovative solutions.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Experience with radiation detection equipment, RF communications, or high-reliability defense systems.
