We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists, and bold innovators; join us and put your passion, determination, and skill to work building the future!

Position Responsibilities

• Impact technical investigations, as negotiated and assigned, independently or with a small team of engineers.
• Maintain and advance computational electromagnetic and multi-physics tools, to include time- and frequency-domain methods in both low frequency and high frequency models.
• Apply electromagnetic theory to develop advanced electrical analysis and measurement techniques and test processes for determining lightning direct effects and static charge performance on carbon fiber composites and mixed-material structural interfaces.
• Interface with materials engineers for the definition and qualification of new materials that meet lightning direct effects and static charge performance requirements, while meeting structural and manufacturing engineering requirements.
• Advise, design, and define necessary testing to characterize materials in electromagnetic environments.
• Apply knowledge of antenna design, RF spectrum, transmitter and receiver architectures, and RF distribution system components to coupling analyses, interference mitigation, propagation studies, and the definition of interference thresholds.
• Develop and validate electromagnetic requirements for electrical\electronic systems, mechanical systems, interconnects and structures
• Collaborate with multiple disciplines in developing architectures to integrate components into higher level systems and platforms
• Support project management by coordinating the development of work statements, schedule, budget, and fabrication plans for test articles and fixtures for appropriate reviews in a research-focused and milestone-defined environment.
• Develop proposals to support development of new business
• Apply knowledge of development, production, certification, qualification, quality assurance and acceptance testing to satisfy and verify alignment with governing regulations and compliance requirements.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science
• Engineering experience with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), or E3 (Electromagnetic Environmental Effects)
• Experience working within engineering teams for the definition and execution of work

Preferred Qualifications

• 5 + years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in physics, electrical engineering, or aerospace
• Experience with computational electromagnetic software (CST, COMSOL, FEKO, EMA3D, etc. or self-developed FEM or FDTD solvers)
• Knowledge of Electromagnetic principles
• Experience with the phenomena, analysis, and testing of lightning direct effects, lighting indirect effects, electrostatics, precipitation statics, and/or HIRF
• Experience with software languages (i.e., Python, MATLAB, C++)
• Knowledge of wiring diagrams and typical design procedures
• Experience with electrical laboratory test planning and execution
• Experience with the maturation of tools and processes from concept to prototypes to production use
