These can include:\nelectrical power distribution and ground systems\ncontrol signals\ndata signal acquisition/storage/distribution \ntelemetry systems\navionics\ndisplay systems \ninterfaces between any and all of the above\nWhile we don’t expect any of our engineers to know everything, we do look for people who have the capability and desire to learn nearly anything. We provide the responsibility, but also the opportunity, for an engineer to own a sizable chunk of the electrical design scope for a program for much of the life of that program. Our design cycles are short, and that can often require optimization toward schedule vs. really-nice-to-have requirements or design refinement. And we don’t throw stuff over the wall - the Electrical Integration Engineer may be responsible for their design from concept through fabrication, installation, and integration, and from component-level testing all the way through to full vehicle flight test support.\nCategory: Engineering\nLocation: Mojave, CA\nCitizenship Required: United States Citizenship\nClearance Type: None\nSchedule: 9/80 Work Schedule\nRelocation Assistance: Relocation assistance may be available\nBenefits: 100% Paid Benefits and 401k Matching\nAbout Scaled\nFounded by visionary aircraft designer Burt Rutan, Scaled Composites has been in the business of Designing, Building, and Flying unique airplanes and spacecraft for over 40 years. We are a modestly sized company, constantly building small teams of empowered and capable employees to achieve extraordinary accomplishments in aerospace. From the farthest (Global Flyer), to the largest (Stratolaunch), to the highest (SpaceShipOne, Proteus), and many in between, Scaled’s track record of innovation has pushed against and expanded some of the most stubborn corners of the flight envelope.\nWe honor that legacy today by doing what we’ve always done - seeking out the hardest problems in aerospace and having fun while solving them. With an average of a new design first flight for every year of our existence, there is no better place to practice the arts and science of new aircraft development than here at Scaled.\nDuties And Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To:\nDefining requirements and interfaces for custom electrical and avionics solutions\nSpecifying and modifying COTS solutions for specific prototype aircraft needs\nSolving complicated problems with simple software/hardware solutions\nDesign, development, modification, testing, and integration of aircraft software/hardware solutions\nDevelopment and maintenance of electrical schematics for vehicles and test hardware\nSufficient documentation of work to communicate design and intent to peers and future users\nSupport of ground and flight test design, planning, and execution\nComplete product development with significant scope of individual ownership\nSupport of electricians and technicians during installation and test of systems\nSimultaneous work on multiple projects\nRequired Qualifications\nFundamental knowledge of electrical systems from power to signal-level\nProficiency in software and/or electronic hardware development\nStrong problem solving, organizational, and communication skills\nStrong knowledge of electrical technologies and products\nBachelor of Science in Engineering -or- substantial equivalent experience\nAbility to work in multiple engineering disciplines on an aggressive schedule\nDesired Qualifications:\nExperience with electrical system design and integration\nExperience with circuit board design and layout\nExperience with data acquisition, signal conditioning, and data processing\nExperience with avionics and/or aircraft electrical systemsFamiliarity with Garmin avionics customization, ACRA data acquisition is a plus\n\nFamiliarity with aircraft electrical design best practices (ASTM F3231, FAR Part 23 and/or 25) \nFamiliarity with aircraft electrical maintenance and inspection practices (FAA AC 43.13-1b Chapters 11 and 12)\nProficiency programming in one or more computer languages (C, C++, Python, MATLAB, Simulink, etc.)\nFamiliarity with aircraft RF systems, telemetry, EMI/EMC troubleshooting\nEmbedded microprocessor or microcontroller programming experience\nExperience with hardware description languages and FPGAs\n2-5 years of directly related work experience\nRapid prototyping experience\nAerospace experience (work history, pilot’s license, experimental aircraft building, etc.)\nHands-on design and/or build experience\nDOD Secret Clearance\nAdditional degrees or relevant professional or advanced amateur experience\nEssential Job Functions:\nClearly communicate verbally and in writing\nRequires mobility and the ability to bend and reach \nMay infrequently require lifting, carrying, pushing, and/or pulling materials (LRUs, Ground Power Units, fuel bowsers, small aircraft) with a force up to 30 pounds \nManual dexterity and coordination are required;
