Job Description:

L3Harris' Space and Mission Systems seeks an Electrical Engineer with subsystem leadership experience to join our growing team.  The individual in this role will act as the primary electrical systems engineer responsible for a mission payload consisting of multiple circuit card designs to ensure seamless performance to requirements.   They will have overall technical responsibility for the architecture and design of the electronic payload or payloads and serves as the primary electronic point of contact for external and internal segments, test, and operations. They will coordinate and/or perform test and analysis integration activities to ensure the system meets Customer and Mission requirements. They will coordinate all subsystem electrical efforts to generate contractually required system design documents and design review technical packages.  They will technically lead and guide the detailed CCA designers and be the interface between the CCA designs and systems designs.

This position is located in Fort Wayne, IN: https://careers.l3harris.com/en/Fort-Wayne

Essential Functions:

• Manages and maintains the electrical integration of the electronic subsystems, mission payload and communications payload according to internal and external ICDs
• Generation and coordination of electrical design specifications and interface (internal and external) documents including requirements derivation, allocation, and flow up/down
• Derives and flows system-level electrical, interface, environmental, and applicable physical constraint requirements to subsystem, CCA, FPGA, software/firmware, and test-equipment implementation specifications
• Ensures electrical functional and physical allocations, changes and requirements compliance are being addressed throughout the subsystem design.
• Coordinates and/or completes electrical integration activities such as power, grounding schemes, and telemetry and command allocations
• Supports the AIT organization in planning the electrical integration testing of HW/SW from the CCA level to the subsystem level, including execution and troubleshooting issues
• Maintains cognizance and communicates changes of the SV subcontractor and in-house electrical design baselines, pinouts, and interfaces
• Works closely with Software, Mechanical, and Integration and Test to own and oversee subsystem integration across the full program lifecycle
• Represent subsystem electrical engineering during major system level design reviews such as SRR, SDR, PDR and CDR and milestone reviews such as MRR, TRR, PSF, LRR and MDR
• Leads or participates in failure review boards, engineering review boards, change control boards to ensure electrical impacts are coordinated
• Creating and/or supporting delivery of Customer CDRLs

• Ability to lead diverse technical teams across internal and subcontractor efforts
• Ability to obtain a Secret US security clearance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related experience.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience with electrical integration of electronics to meet mission performance
• Experience with leading electrical engineering teams
• Demonstrated experience leading electrical engineering teams through all phases of a space program; pursuits and proposal, design and development, integration and test, and operations
• Ability to make risk-based decisions balancing technical, cost and schedule
• Ability to lead, review, and coordinate electrical analyses and trades including power budgets, fault/failure analysis, EMI/EMC, grounding, signal/interface compatibility, and worst-case analysis
• Experience with electrical integration, testing, and troubleshooting of complex systems
• Well versed in developing or coordinating physical and functional electrical interface details such as first order circuit compatibility, voltage levels, current ratings, connector types, pin configurations, grounding requirements, signal protocols, data rates, communications interfaces and EMI/EMC/ESD considerations
• Experienced with electrical requirements validation, interface definition and closure, interconnect diagram development and ownership, sell-off, milestone entry/exit criteria
• Familiarity with electrical engineering processes and/or subsystems, such as power, command and data handling (C&DH), telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C),
• Experience performing Worst Case analysis for power, analog, digital, and EMI across environmental requirements and derating

• Familiarity with tools such as DOORs, PSPICE, MathCAD, Matlab, Simulink, Allegro and MentorGraphics
