Senior Associate Electrical Engineer

Job Title: Sr. Associate, Electrical Engineering
Job Code: 44551
Job Location: Ashaway, RI
Job Schedule: 9/80 regular schedule

Job Description:

L3Harris is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design, develop, integrate, test, and sustain electronics for maritime applications at its Ashaway, Rhode Island site. The engineer will take designs from concept through released hardware, system-level integration, production support, and fielded-product sustainment. This onsite role combines hands-on electrical engineering design, build, and test with cross-functional execution in a production environment.

Essential Functions:

• Design and develop mixed-signal Printed Wiring Assemblies (PWAs) from requirements through released, production-ready hardware.
• Derive requirements; select components; perform circuit design and analysis; and define circuit-level verification and test methods.
• Review Printed Wiring Board (PWB) layouts and collaborate with manufacturers to resolve fabrication and assembly questions.
• Design or specify test methods, automated test equipment, test sets, and cable harnesses used to verify electronic hardware.
• Perform hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, test, checkout, and redesign activities for prototypes and production hardware.
• Support production operations by diagnosing electrical issues and coordinating timely, configuration-controlled corrective actions.
• Work with systems, mechanical, software, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain, and program teams through design, integration, and test.
• Support engineering estimates, schedules, design documentation, and internal and external design-review material.
• Support procurement by evaluating technical alternatives and addressing component obsolescence or availability issues.
• Work onsite in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Occasional business travel may be required to other L3Harris sites and customer test facilities.
• Be eligible to obtain and maintain a United States Government Secret security clearance for continued employment.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Two or more years of electrical engineering experience in a product-development environment.
• Experience with mixed-signal circuit board design and development, including requirements derivation, component selection, circuit design and analysis, test, and troubleshooting. 
• Experience moving electronic designs from concept through verification, release, integration, and production support.
• Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly in written documentation, design reviews, and cross-functional discussions.
• United States citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a United States Government Secret security clearance for continued employment.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience developing and simulating firmware (VHDL) for FPGAs (AMD and/or Microchip) and with FPGA design tools
• Experience with Siemens Xpedition or Cadence OrCAD
• Experience with Xilinx/AMD or Microchip FPGAs and FPGA design tools
• Experience with electronics used in maritime, defense, or other high-reliability applications.
• Experience designing automated test equipment, test sets, or cable harnesses.
• Familiarity with configuration management, engineering change control, and production documentation.
• Experience supporting electronics manufacturing, failure analysis, and corrective redesign.
• Experience with version control software such as Git and program issue/task tracking tools such as Jira
• Experience with underwater electronics, sensors and related environmental requirements
