Electrical Engineer

CEIS | Government is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support advanced system-level test equipment development for the U.S. nuclear stockpile surveillance mission at Sandia National Laboratories. This role supports the design, development, integration, and validation of sophisticated test systems used to evaluate the safety, reliability, and performance of critical national security assets. The selected candidate will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to design custom electrical systems, develop data acquisition capabilities, and troubleshoot complex laboratory test environments. This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to national security through innovative engineering solutions and high-impact technical work.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop advanced electrical test systems used to emulate nuclear weapon delivery sequences in controlled laboratory environments.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, technologists, and subject matter experts to support complex testing and evaluation programs.
• Develop and implement data acquisition systems capable of capturing a wide range of signals from system-level test equipment.
• Design and specify custom electrical components including cables, circuit boards, racks, and chassis to meet project requirements.
• Integrate, test, and troubleshoot electrical test systems used to monitor the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile.
• Validate system designs against technical and program requirements to ensure compliance, functionality, and performance.
• Develop and interpret engineering documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, and power distribution drawings.
• Utilize laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, waveform generators, and power supplies during system development and testing.
• Maintain strict adherence to laboratory safety procedures and engineering best practices.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant engineering experience.
• Demonstrated experience with electrical system design, testing, or integration in laboratory or engineering environments.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance and Sigma 15 access, which may require a polygraph examination.
• U.S. citizenship required to obtain and maintain required security clearances.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline.
• Experience with analog and digital circuit design and analysis.
• Experience designing and fabricating custom electrical assemblies or test equipment.
• Experience developing engineering drawings including wiring diagrams and power distribution schematics.
• Familiarity with electrical laboratory instrumentation and test environments.
• Active DOE Q clearance or equivalent security clearance.
