Job Description

Summary

• We are looking for a multidisciplinary engineer who can bridge technical design, documentation, and test/lab activities. This role combines electrical and mechanical engineering fundamentals with strong communication skills, hands-on troubleshooting, and exposure to supply chain and configuration management processes. You will collaborate with design, test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to interpret requirements, support validation activities, and clearly communicate technical information across the organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES GENERAL / CROSS-FUNCTIONAL

Technical writing and communication

• Develop clear, concise technical documentation, including test procedures, reports, work instructions, and engineering change summaries.
• Communicate complex technical topics to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
• Collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams (design, test, quality, supply chain). Requirements and standards interpretation
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and bills of material.
• Analyze and apply military and/or industry standards to designs, test plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Interpret and apply specifications to ensure compliance during design and validation. Troubleshooting and failure analysis
• Support root cause analysis of hardware and test issues, including data review and hypothesis development.
• Recommend corrective actions and design or process improvements.
• Document findings and follow through on corrective and preventive actions. Configuration management and supply chain interfaces
• Work with configuration management to maintain accurate part records, revision control, and change documentation.
• Coordinate with supply chain on component selection, qualification status, obsolescence, and alternates.
• Ensuring technical documentation supports procurement, manufacturing, and service needs. Test lab interfacing
• Partner with test lab personnel to define test requirements and ensure setups meet design intent and safety standards.
• Review test data, provide technical guidance, and support resolution of lab issues.
• Assist in planning and scheduling test activities and reporting results.

CORE SKILLS:

• Proven experience in technical writing and creating clear engineering documentation.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and specifications.
• Exposure to military and/or industry standards (e.g., [insert relevant standards for your organization]).
• Experience with troubleshooting/failure analysis of hardware or test issues.
• Familiarity with configuration management tools and processes (e.g., ECOs, part lifecycles).
• Experience collaborating with test labs and/or supplier test facilities. Electrical skills:
• Experience with electrical component selection and validation.
• Working knowledge of power electronics fundamentals.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Electrical component selection and validation

• Support selection of electrical components (e.g., passive components, semiconductors, connectors) based on performance, environmental, reliability, and cost considerations.
• Validate components through datasheet review, standards compliance checks, and lab testing where appropriate.
• Work with suppliers and internal teams on qualification and change management for electrical parts. Power electronics fundamentals
• Apply basic power electronics knowledge (e.g., converters, inverters, rectifiers, filters) in design review and troubleshooting.
• Support analysis and documentation of operating conditions, ratings, and margins.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Tolerance and fit analysis

• Perform or review tolerance stack-up analyses for mechanical interfaces and assemblies.
• Ensure manufacturability and robustness of mechanical designs under expected variation. Mechanical models and environment exposure
• Interpret and utilize mechanical models (thermal, vibration, stress) to understand hardware performance and constraints.
• Support test planning and acceptance criteria based on model predictions and environmental requirements.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience: 3 years in an engineering role supporting hardware design, testing, or validation in aerospace, defense, or industrial environments.
