GENERAL JOB SUMMARY:

rn

The Electrical Engineer (Power Systems) is responsible for the design, analysis, and documentation of power systems for engineered and integrated systems. These include RF, mechanical, networking, electromechanical, and networked/compute subsystems in both mobile and fixed architectures. This role develops power budgets, architects AC and DC power distribution, performs power-related trade studies, and routes power across integrated racks and components/networks. This role works with internal teams (RF, mechanical, software, networking, etc.) as well as customers, vendors, and subcontractors.

rn

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:

rn

rn

• Develop and maintain detailed power budgets for systems that integrate RF, mechanical, networking, electromechanical, and compute subsystems. rn
• Develop, update, and maintain electrical drawings and documentation related to power systems (schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, layout drawings, and bill of materials). rn
• Design power distribution for equipment racks (e.g., PDUs, bus bars, harnesses) and ensure proper load balancing, grounding, and fault protection. rn
• Develop power integration schemes for ruggedized or mobile enclosures, including connectors, environmental considerations, and serviceability. rn
• Work with mechanical and systems engineers to ensure that power hardware is physically integrated, accessible, and maintainable. rn
• Coordinate with working groups to capture power requirements, constraints, and design changes. rn
• Work with vendors to ingest and validate power requirements, start-up characteristics, and operating profiles for third-party components and subsystems. rn
• Architect AC and DC power distribution schemes, including source selection, conversion stages, protection, and distribution topologies. rn
• Perform trade studies to evaluate different power architectures, power types (e.g., AC vs. DC distribution levels) and generator options. rn
• Maintain an overarching power budget that is synchronized with evolving system designs and configurations across all engineering disciplines. rn
• Specify wire gauges, cable types, connectors, interlocks, interconnects, cam locks, and related hardware in accordance with electrical and safety standards. rn
• Develop and maintain single-line diagrams, detailed wiring diagrams, panel schedules, and power distribution drawings for mobile and fixed assets. rn
• Collaborate with customers to understand available power at different installation or test sites (voltage, phase, frequency, capacity, grounding, and reliability considerations). rn
• Assist in troubleshooting power-related issues during integration, test, and field operations, including root-cause analysis and corrective actions. rn
• Perform other related engineering duties consistent with the scope and level of this position, as assigned by management. rn
• Travel to customer sites, field locations, and deployment sites as required, potentially including OCONUS locations (estimated 25-50%) rn
