The devices evaluated can range from simple passive devices to complex microcircuits as well as cables, connectors, motors, etc.

QUALIFICATIONS YOU MUST HAVE:

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering and a minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years’ experience.
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Knowledge of reading electrical schematics and circuit analysis
• Experience with electronic component failure analysis
• Familiarity with component data sheets and drawings
• Data collection and presentation skills to write a cogent report, supporting the analysis conclusion and if necessary, present the data and findings
• Experience using electrical test equipment.
• Technical working knowledge of electrical components and their application

POSITION ROLE TYPE:
