## About the Role

Do you have experience in Simulation tools?, * Candidate must be a US Citizen and meet eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance

 * Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a highly related technical field
 * Minimum of 7-12 years of direct experience in aerospace/defense electronics, with at least 5 years specifically focused on ESAD, Electronic Fuzing Systems, or high-voltage energetic initiation
 * Deep understanding of high-voltage topologies, energy storage capacitors, bleed resistor design, and solid-state high-voltage switching (e.g., IGBTs, MCTs, Spark Gaps
 * Experience with microcontroller, FPGA, or ASIC-based safety architecture
 * Proven track record of guiding a fuzing/firing system successfully through military weapon safety board approval processes
 * Proficiency with EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer), simulation software (LTspice/PSpice), and data analysis tools (MATLAB/Python)

## Description

As an Electrical Engineer specializing in Electronic Safe and Arm Devices (ESAD), you will serve as the technical authority and subject matter expert (SME) for solid-state, high-voltage ignition and initiation systems. You will work with cross-functional teams spanning electrical, mechanical, software, and systems engineering to drive ESAD programs from initial concept through architecture design, safety board review, and low-rate initial production (LRIP).

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with military fuzing standards, high-voltage capacitor discharge circuits, and safety-critical system logic.

Typical tasking will include:

 * ArchitectureDesign: Drive electrical architecture, schematic capture, and component selection for high-reliability ESADs, including high-voltage charging circuits dynamic switches, logic gates, and Exploding Foil Initiator (EFI) firing paths.
 * SafetyCompliance: Ensure all designs comply strictly with military ordnance safety mandates, including MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-1901, and STANAG 4187. Formulate dual-fail-safe environmental logic architectures.
 * Technical Leadership: Lead internal design reviews (PDR, CDR) and serve as the primary electrical point of contact for customer technical reviews, government safety and key suppliers.
 * AnalysisSimulation: Perform worst-case circuit analysis, component stress and thermal analysis, and coordinate Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
 * TestingQualification: Author comprehensive Design Verification Testing (DVT) and Qualification Test Plans (QTP) and manage JOTP-052 based environmental testing (shock, random vibration, thermal cycling, and EMI/EMC per MIL-STD-461).
