GENERAL JOB SUMMARY:

The Electrical Engineer provides engineering-level design, analysis, testing, and technical support for the Electrical Laboratory and the broader facility (IPIF). This role develops and reviews electrical designs, oversees test planning and execution, supports prototype development, and ensures technical rigor across engineering and mission activities. Working under the direction of the Engineering Sr. Manager and collaborating closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams, the engineer provides both hands-on and analytical support for cables, harnesses, PCBs, electrical subsystems, instrumentation, and facility electrical needs. This position requires strong engineering fundamentals, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic mission-driven environment.

LOCATION:

• Crane, IN

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:

PRIMARY:

• Develop, review, and update electrical designs, schematics, wiring diagrams, and test documentation for lab and facility systems.

• Provide engineering oversight for cable and harness builds, PCB development, and prototype electrical assemblies.

• Plan, execute, and document component, and system-level electrical tests using oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, data acquisition systems, and specialized test equipment.

• Perform engineering analysis to support troubleshooting of electrical performance issues, failure investigations, and system-level anomalies.

• Review build records, test data, and configuration changes for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with engineering requirements.

• Develop or improve test procedures, quality criteria, and engineering workflows for the electrical lab.

• Ensure adherence to safety practices, ESD controls, and engineering standards.

SECONDARY:

• Support development of automated test setups, custom fixtures, and instrumentation solutions.

• Assist in requirements definition, design reviews, and risk assessments for electrical subsystems and facility electrical projects.

• Provide technical guidance to technicians and mission teams on electrical design, assembly, and testing best practices.

• Contribute to process improvements related to electrical design quality, test efficiency, and workflow optimization.

• Coordinate with engineering, mission providers, and facility leadership to ensure electrical needs are met across ongoing projects.

• Evaluate new equipment, tools, and technologies for possible integration into the electrical lab or facility.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY:

May provide technical guidance to technicians and junior personnel.
