Senior Sustaining Electrical Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement electrical changes across schematics, PCBAs, power distribution, wiring, interfaces, and supporting hardware.
• Own electrical sustainment of released products from production ramp through field support and end-of-life, serving as a key technical point of contact for electrical integration.
• Troubleshoot PCBAs, electronic assemblies, wiring, power systems, and integrated hardware down to the component level across production and fielded systems.
• Drive root-cause investigations for production, test, and field failures and implement corrective and preventive actions through analysis, design changes, and validation.
• Own ECR/ECO execution and maintain released design documentation and configuration control within PLM systems, including schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, drawings, test procedures, and configuration records.
• Define and execute verification, regression, and reliability testing for sustaining changes, alternate components, and product improvements.
• Support production and NPI transitions by addressing test failures, yield issues, assembly risks, manufacturability, testability, and electrical integration challenges.
• Evaluate component substitutions, obsolescence, and supplier-driven changes, and own the technical qualification of alternate parts and materials.
• Drive electrical system tradeoffs across size, weight, power, EMC, reliability, manufacturability, and integration constraints, including high-power components and distribution architectures.
• Partner with Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Customer Support, firmware, software, mechanical, test, and suppliers to improve product quality, reliability, serviceability, and cost.
• Contribute to design reviews and drive continuous improvement across the released product portfolio.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of professional experience developing or sustaining complex electrical hardware; level will be determined based on experience and scope of ownership.
• Strong hands-on lab and debugging skills using standard electrical test equipment, with the ability to isolate failures to the circuit or component level.
• Familiarity with hardware configuration control, ECR/ECO workflows, PLM systems, and released-product documentation practices.
• Working knowledge of DFM/DFT, hardware reliability, production test, and the considerations required to transition and sustain hardware at scale.
• Strong fundamentals in analog, digital, and power electronics, with demonstrated experience owning full-cycle PCB development.
• Strong technical communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to manage ambiguity and multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Must be a U.S. Person as defined by applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations.

Compensation

• Base salary: $130,000 - $145,000
• Equity: Meaningful equity grant in a growth-stage defense technology company
