Electrical Engineer

IS4S is seeking a disciplined and detail-oriented Electrical Engineer with a minimum of three years of professional experience to support the development of advanced defense technologies. This role is responsible for the full-spectrum design, integration, and validation of electrical systems, specifically focusing on PWA/CCA development and ruggedized harness design for Department of Defense (DoD) applications. The ideal candidate will possess a blend of theoretical design expertise and a "hands-on" approach to hardware prototyping and system-level troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities Electronic Hardware Design:

Lead the design, schematic capture, and layout of high-reliability Printed Wiring Assemblies (PWA) and Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA).

Interconnect System Development:

Engineer complex cable and wire harness architectures tailored for harsh military environments, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD requirements.

Prototype Validation:

Execute the assembly, testing, and debugging of initial proof-of-concept hardware. This includes manual board-level rework and functional bench testing.

System Integration:

Collaborate with mechanical and software engineering teams to ensure seamless electrical integration within larger platform architectures.

Technical Documentation:

Generate comprehensive engineering documentation, including Bill of Materials (BOMs), wiring diagrams, assembly instructions, and test reports.

Regulatory Compliance:

Ensure all designs meet stringent DoD standards for EMI/EMC (e.g., MIL-STD-461) and environmental survivability (e.g., MIL-STD-810).

Technical Qualifications Education:

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an ABET-accredited institution.

Experience:

A minimum of 3 years of experience in electrical design, specifically within the defense, aerospace, or a similarly regulated industry.

Circuit Design:

Proficiency in analog and digital circuit design, component selection, and power distribution.

Harness Design:

Demonstrated experience in designing ruggedized interconnects, including connector selection (e.g., D38999 series) and EMI shielding techniques.

Tools:

Advanced proficiency in EDA software (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics) and harness design suites.

Laboratory Skills:

Expert-level competence with standard diagnostic equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and DMMs.
