Electrical Engineer

Description

• Report progress, risks, and opportunities to the Program Manager and Leadership Team and contribute to technical roadmapping
• Provide technical mentorship, feedback, and collaboration support to other engineering team members
• Lead the design, modeling, and validation of generators, power conversion modules, and associated energy conversion hardware
• Support integration of devices into SCADA environments, with an emphasis on EtherCAT-based systems and Beckhoff hardware where applicable
• Work with external suppliers, fabrication shops, and service providers to source components, resolve technical issues, and qualify new designs
• Model and analyze complex electronic circuits using simulation tools (e.g., PSPICE, LTSPICE, QSPICE)
• Plan and execute benchtop and system-level tests using lab equipment such as power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and related instruments
• Collaborate with firmware and controls engineers to define requirements and support embedded software implementation
• Specify, design, and oversee the build of custom test equipment required for novel power and magnetics applications
• Develop and maintain schematics and PCB layouts in Altium for power and control electronics

Requirements

• Experience integrating devices into industrial SCADA systems and EtherCAT networks
• Ability to interact effectively with outside suppliers, vendors, and service providers
• Experience working on Government or DoD programs
• 10+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering
• Own the electrical architecture of key subsystems, including interfaces to mechanical and controls systems
• Ability to analyze complex technical problems, interpret design data, and develop creative, practical solutions
• Intermediate or stronger experience in embedded firmware development, especially using Microchip devices and MPLAB IDE
• Extensive experience designing and working with custom test equipment for novel applications
• Experience modeling complex electronic circuits with tools such as PSPICE, LTSPICE, or QSPICE
• Ability to perform schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team
• Background in power electronics for energy conversion or grid-tied systems
• Experience developing simple to medium complexity scripts in Matlab, Python, C#, or comparable languages to automate analysis and testing
• Experience designing and fabricating physical assemblies of conceptual devices for testing and validation
• U.S. citizen or a Green Card
• Comfort splitting time between electrical and mechanical domains and pursuing solutions that integrate both appropriately
• Experience in a startup or small-company environment with demonstrated flexibility to wear multiple hats
• Industry experience with electric motors, generators, and magnetic machinery
• Hands-on experience with benchtop test equipment, including power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, and electronic loads
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related field
• Familiarity and formal experience with Beckhoff equipment, including programming in TwinCAT IDE
