This position will support the design, development, integration, and testing of electrical hardware for NASA and commercial space programs, including the International Space Station (ISS), Human Landing System (HLS), and future lunar exploration missions.\nThe Electrical Engineer will work with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technicians to develop electrical systems and components for spaceflight applications. Responsibilities span the full hardware development lifecycle, from requirements definition and circuit design through fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing.\nThe ideal candidate will bring strong electrical design experience, hands-on hardware development skills, and the ability to independently solve complex technical challenges while collaborating effectively across engineering disciplines.\nPrimary Responsibilities\n Electrical Design and Development: Design and develop electrical hardware for spaceflight applications, including electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable harnesses, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and electronic assemblies.\nPower Systems: Design and integrate electrical circuits involving DC-to-DC power conversion, DC power filtering, and power distribution.\nHardware Development: Support the full electrical hardware development lifecycle, including requirements definition, design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, verification, and testing.\nPCB Design and Prototyping: Develop circuit schematics and PCB layouts using OrCAD, supporting designs from breadboard prototyping through Gerber file generation, fabrication, and assembly.\nTesting and Troubleshooting: Perform hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and evaluation of electrical circuits, printed wiring boards, and electronic assemblies using laboratory test equipment.\nEngineering Collaboration: Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems engineers and technicians to develop, integrate, and troubleshoot spaceflight hardware.\n Technical Reviews: Support engineering design reviews and program milestones, including System Requirements Reviews (SRR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), and Critical Design Reviews (CDR).\nProblem Solving: Investigate technical issues, evaluate design alternatives, and develop effective engineering solutions with minimal supervision.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 5 years of relevant electrical engineering experience.\nExperience designing, developing, and integrating electrical or electronic hardware for spaceflight or other safety-critical applications.\nProficiency with OrCAD for schematic capture, circuit board design, and PCB layout, including experience with breadboard development and Gerber file generation.\nExperience with electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable harness design, printed circuit boards, and electronic assemblies.\nKnowledge of DC-to-DC power conversion, DC power filtering, and electrical power distribution.\nExperience supporting electrical hardware through design, fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing.\nHands-on experience with electronic laboratory equipment, circuit prototyping, printed wiring board testing, and electronic assembly.\nStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to independently identify and resolve complex technical problems.\nEffective communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines and participate in technical design reviews.\nAbility to work independently and manage technical assignments with minimal supervision.\nPreferred Qualifications\n2+ years of experience developing hardware for spaceflight projects, including spacecraft, satellites, or payloads.\nFamiliarity with NASA specifications and standards for electrical hardware, printed circuit board assembly, cable harness manufacturing, and testing.\nKnowledge of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) requirements for spaceflight hardware.\nPer the contract, U.S. Citizenship or U.S. Permanent Resident status is required. Must be able to pass a Public Trust background check.\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.\nOriginal Posting:\nOctober 14, 2026For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.\nPay Range:\nPay Range $87,100.00 - $157,450.00The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5337,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["National Security","C4ISR","Defense Manufacturing","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T03:24:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 50 · green card filings: 24","filings_12m":50,"filings_prev_12m":58,"green_card_filings_12m":24,"median_offered_wage_usd":124257,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.583,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:51","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":157450,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/leidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/leidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T13:41:41Z","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":19687,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":7791},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7791"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fleidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc"},{"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%2Fleidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc"},{"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%2Fleidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc"},{"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/leidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fleidos-electrical-engineer-nasa-cmc"}]}
