Products include environmental control systems (ECS), motor drives, electronic control units, power distribution, and electrical interconnects.\nThis position welcomes new graduates and engineers with approximately 0-2 years of relevant experience. Working under senior-engineer guidance, you will develop requirements and interface documentation, perform electrical analyses, and support hands-on integration and testing. Assignments will grow in scope and independence as you build technical capability; system architecture and compliance decisions remain subject to senior technical review.\nProject and Technical Execution\nComplete defined engineering assignments, document assumptions and results, and communicate progress, questions, and technical issues to the project lead.\nCollaborate with hardware, FPGA, software, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to understand interfaces and resolve assigned integration issues.\nPrepare calculations, diagrams, and test results for design reviews; incorporate feedback and close assigned actions.\nElectrical Systems Engineering Responsibilities\nAssist in translating customer and system requirements into measurable electrical subsystem requirements and maintaining traceability to verification activities.\nDevelop and update electrical block diagrams, interconnection schematics, and interface control documents (ICDs), including pin assignments, signal levels, power needs, and communications interfaces.\nPerform power-budget, load-current, and voltage-drop calculations for 28 VDC and 270 VDC systems using established methods and senior-engineer review.\nSupport harness and connector selection, wire sizing, signal segregation, and documentation of grounding, bonding, and shielding provisions.\nDocument operating modes, startup and shutdown sequences, built-in test, and fault responses with hardware, FPGA, and software engineers.\nCollect engineering data for trade studies, failure analyses, and assessments of electrical compatibility across connected equipment.\nIntegration Qualification and Production Support\nAssist in preparing test setups, instrumentation, representative loads, and procedures; execute approved integration and verification tests and record results against acceptance criteria.\nHelp troubleshoot power, wiring, sensor, actuator, and communications issues; document anomalies and confirm corrective actions with the responsible engineers.\nSupport environmental and EMI/EMC testing, prototype builds, and production acceptance testing under established procedures and laboratory safety practices.\nDocumentation and Compliance\nMaintain requirements matrices, interface documents, test records, and engineering changes using established configuration-control practices.\nLearn and apply assigned customer requirements and relevant aerospace standards under guidance; compile evidence for engineering review and compliance verification.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering completed by the employment start date. No prior full-time engineering experience is required.\nFoundational knowledge of circuit analysis, voltage, current, power, and analog and digital signals; ability to read basic electrical schematics and block diagrams.\nPractical experience using multimeters, oscilloscopes, or similar laboratory instruments through coursework, projects, internships, or employment.\nAbility to organize and analyze data, document calculations and test results, and communicate technical findings clearly.\nDemonstrated problem-solving ability, attention to detail, willingness to seek guidance, and ability to work effectively on a technical team.\nU.S. citizenship required and ability to obtain a security clearance.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExposure to any of the following through coursework, projects, internships, or employment is helpful:\nIntegrated electrical or electromechanical projects involving sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, power distribution, or motor drives.\nRequirements documentation, interface definition, system integration, verification testing, or wiring and harness design.\nMATLAB, Simulink, Python, LabVIEW, SolidWorks Electrical, Altium Designer, or requirements management tools.\nCommunications interfaces such as RS-485, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, or I2C; basic grounding, shielding, or EMI/EMC concepts.\nAerospace or defense applications, including familiarity with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, DO-160, AS50881, or IPC/WHMA-A-620.\nAdditional Information\nAll positions at Bascom Hunter are subject to background investigations. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background investigation including criminal history and identity verification. Bascom Hunter is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4999,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Science & Engineering","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T20:33:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.758,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T13:32:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20225,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4391201},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4391201"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbascom-hunter-associate-electrical-systems-engineer"}]}
