Electrical System Engineer Principal – $40K Sign On Bonus

Job Description

Minimum $40,000 Sign-On Bonus being offered for external hires.

BAE Systems Space and Mission System (SMS) is expanding our expertise to provide exciting and challenging solutions to our customers. Our precision mechatronics and exquisite sensing solutions team works in a fast paced, highly collaborative development environment to provide continuously evolving capabilities in mechanisms. As electrical engineering lead, you will lead a team of electrical engineers through the program life cycle to produce electronic controls systems for various complex, high precision, and high reliability applications.

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide technical leadership for multidisciplinary system team (optical, mechanical, focal plane, thermal, RF, software) including suppliers to create, influence and define discriminating electronics solutions involving scan mechanisms, fast steering mirrors, spin mechanisms, cryo coolers, and other mechatronic systems. • Provide subject matter expertise in space-based electronics systems and components to include motor control theory, closed loop stability analysis, embedded algorithm implementation, 2 and 3 phase BLDC motors, stepper motors, voice coils, resolvers, encoders, power electronics, motor drives, and other sensing methodologies. • Lead resolution of electrical hardware anomalies at the system level and determine root cause and corrective action at the engineering development level and with flight hardware. • Compose objective, quantifiable trade studies incorporating heritage system designs as well as new technologies and supplier capabilities to guide critical architectural decisions affecting the performance of other systems and subsystems. • Electrical system-level modeling and simulation, analysis, trades, risk assessment, requirements derivation, allocation, and flow down leveraging MATLAB Simulink, LTSpice, DOORs, MBSE, and various other system engineering tools. • Maintain end-to-end electrical compatibility, functional allocations, and margins across entire system. • Hands-on involvement in every aspect of design, development, production, and test. • Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the design phase. • Present analysis, findings, and design to peers, internal management, and customers throughout program phases (Proposal, IBR, SRR, PDR, CDR, IV&V). • Mentor junior engineers in mission understanding, electrical subsystem technologies and concepts. • Develop electronics to quality and reliability standards for NASA, NOAA, DoD, and classified customers. • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. • Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment. • Perform other duties as necessary.
