We are a technology firm creating in-house software, network, and hardware solutions that support our noble cause of advancing warfighter capabilities with elegant, user-focused communications, networks, and software systems.\nAbout this role:\nDo you thrive in innovative, design-driven environments with a high level of both accountability and trust? Are you passionate about delivering elegant hardware solutions with the right amount of engineering rigor? Are you seeking a technical role where you can take initiative? If so-we want to hear from you! This role will support the agile development of innovative communications, networking, and computing solutions for U.S. defense agencies that improve the sharing of information among warfighters distributed throughout airborne, maritime, and ground environments.\nFuse is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with deep expertise in power systems design and integration to support the development and deployment of advanced tactical communications, networking, and computing platforms. This role will support integrated hardware systems for mission-critical defense applications where power integrity, ruggedization, reliability, and environmental compliance are essential.\nThe ideal candidate is a technically strong engineer who thrives in fast-paced development environments and can balance disciplined engineering practices with innovative problem-solving. This individual will work cross-functionally with mechanical, systems, software, manufacturing, and integration teams to deliver highly reliable solutions for airborne, maritime, and ground systems.\nWhat you’ll do:\nInterpret systems engineering models, system block diagrams, interface control documents, equipment specifications, and customer requirements to define electrical architectures and physical interconnections. \nCreate and maintain electrical schematics, interconnect and wiring diagrams, cable assembly drawings, bills of materials, and supporting technical documentation. \nDesign electrical interfaces for tactical communications, networking, and computing systems containing multiple line replaceable units (LRUs). \nSelect wire, cable, connectors, contacts, backshells, shielding, circuit protection, filters, relays, and other interconnect components based on electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements. \nDevelop power architectures for a single unit that distributes and manages power for multiple LRUs. \nPerform power budgets, load and voltage-drop calculations, conversion-efficiency estimates, wire sizing, and basic thermal-loss analysis. \nDefine power sequencing, startup and inrush behavior, overload and short-circuit protection, grounding, bonding, fault isolation, load shedding, and recovery behavior. \nApply TEMPEST and EMI/EMC design considerations to enclosure interfaces, cable routing, connectorization, shielding, grounding, bonding, and signal separation. \nPerform trade studies and support selection of LRUs, power supplies, power converters, connectors, cables, and electrical components. \nCollaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure cable assemblies can be routed, installed, serviced, and maintained within constrained platforms. \nGenerate and review released electrical design packages under configuration management. \nSupport prototype and first-article builds, integration, troubleshooting, inspection, and acceptance testing. \nPlan and execute unit-, subsystem-, and system-level electrical tests; document results; and drive corrective actions and design improvements. \nTroubleshoot issues across power, cabling, grounding, hardware, software, and network boundaries using schematics, test equipment, and structured root-cause analysis. \nParticipate in engineering reviews and customer technical meetings. \nWork with vendors and production personnel to procure, fabricate, inspect, and resolve issues involving electrical components and cable assemblies. \nCreate technical content for assembly instructions, test procedures, interface documentation, design descriptions, and test reports. \nProvide onsite and remote integration and operational support. \nLimited travel may be required. \nRequirements\nWe are looking for:\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline and 4+ years of relevant experience. \nDemonstrated ability to interpret systems engineering models, block diagrams, interface definitions, and technical requirements and translate them into electrical designs. \nExperience creating electrical schematics, interconnect diagrams, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, and bills of materials using PADS, OrCAD, SolidWorks Electrical, or an equivalent tool. \nExperience selecting wire, cable, connectors, contacts, backshells, shielding methods, and circuit-protection components for electromechanical systems. \nWorking knowledge of common digital and analog interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, serial communications, I2C, SPI, and PCIe. \nExperience performing system-level power budgets and load calculations for equipment containing multiple LRUs. \nUnderstanding of power distribution and conversion, voltage drop, efficiency, derating, inrush current, grounding, bonding, filtering, circuit protection, and fault isolation. \nWorking knowledge of TEMPEST-conscious design principles and EMI/EMC controls for cabling, connectorization, shielding, grounding, bonding, and equipment integration. \nFamiliarity with applicable military electrical, EMI/EMC, and environmental requirements, including MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810. \nExperience with electrical bench testing and troubleshooting using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and continuity test equipment. \nUnderstanding of cable and wire-harness manufacturing, inspection, test methods, and production documentation. \nExperience supporting integration across electrical hardware, mechanical packaging, software, and network systems. \nBasic understanding of configuration management and formal drawing-release practices. \nStrong technical, interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. \nAbility to work effectively both independently and in a collaborative team environment. \nDemonstrated ownership and accountability for product designs and technical decisions. \nMust be a nimble self-starter who is excited about technology and can propose practical, creative solutions. \nAbility to obtain a U.S. Secret clearance. \nU.S. citizenship. \nYour own unique talents! If you meet some requirements of this position but not 100% of the qualifications outlined above, tell us why you would be a great fit for this role based on the specific characteristics that align with our values and goals.\nNice to have:\nExperience with VPX, SOSA, OpenVPX, or tactical communications architectures \nExperience supporting airborne or maritime platforms \nExperience with battery systems, UPS design, or power redundancy architectures \nFamiliarity with processor-based embedded systems \nExperience supporting Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) \nProficiency with SolidWorks Electrical Schematic and SolidWorks Electrical 3D, including cable and harness routing, connector placement, bend-radius control, and synchronization of schematic and 3D data. \nExperience creating 3D cable or harness models in SolidWorks and resolving routing, service-loop, access, separation, and installation constraints with mechanical teams. \nExperience with Model-Based Systems Engineering and SysML tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler or Enterprise Architect. \nActive U.S. Secret clearance. \nMore about Fuse:\nFounded in 2010, Fuse is a veteran-owned, rapidly growing small business.
