Title: Electrical Systems Engineer I, II, III - 3477A Function: Engineering Position Type: Regular, Full-Time Pay Type: Exempt Grade: 32-34 US Citizenship Required: Yes We are looking for Electrical Engineers who want to work in a multi-disciplinary team that plays a key role in supporting national defense through ground testing of air and space systems. While these positions have some office work involved, the majority of the engineer's time is spent in the field or plant area working with our skilled craft workforce. This work involves the practical application of engineering theory to the field implementation of electrical machinery required to establish precise test conditions in our test facilities and of engineering principles of electrical equipment sizing, troubleshooting, circuit protection, and arc flash analysis of low and medium voltage equipment. These principles are applied through the use of engineering tools including generating system requirements, specifications, risk assessments, work instructions, and other engineering documentation in support of testing. These positions may require some amount of shift work to support testing as test load demands.
As part of a multi-disciplinary team, system engineers interface with other teams across the complex including controls, instrumentation, design, facility data analysis, and modeling and simulation engineers to ensure reliable operation and ability to meet future test needs.
They perform as part of a cadre of mechanical and electrical engineers whose job it is to oversee installation, operation, sustainment, and troubleshooting of major equipment and systems such as large motors, compressors, electrical switchgear, over-current protection, transformers, PLCs, relays, and/or solid state variable frequency drive systems that are needed to reliably provide test conditions to the test facilities.
We do not design or build airplanes, engines, or rockets. We operate and maintain the vast equipment required to reliably provide the test conditions required for ground testing. Basic Qualifications B.S. degree in electrical engineering or mechatronics engineering from an accredited college or university NOTE: This posting is specifically for electrical engineers with less than 5 years' relevant engineering experience Current United States Citizenship is required. Preferred Qualifications A minimum of 1 year of developmental experience such as practical work experience in relevant types of engineering such as systems startup, field engineering, or plant operations/maintenance in large industrial plants, utilities, process plants, or other engineering/construction firms. Electrical engineering internship or co-op experience Educational concentration and/or work experience in low, medium, or high voltage power distribution. Educational and/or work experience in dealing with electrical systems or electrical components of mechanical systems. Technical knowledge of engineering systems, engineering calculations, applications of engineering methods and construction methods and materials, and application of computer aided engineering (CAE)/computer aided design (CAD) tools to engineering problems. Working knowledge of major industry or regulatory standards and design criteria pertinent to the electrical engineering discipline. Passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Strong communication skills (including verbal and written) Active Department of Defense Secret Security Clearance This opportunity is being offered by National Aerospace Solutions, the team selected by the U.S. Air Force to conduct Test and Operations Sustainment at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC), Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee. AEDC operates more than 55 aerodynamic and propulsion wind tunnels, rocket and turbine engine test cells, space environmental chambers, arc heaters, ballistic ranges and other specialized units located in six states. Many of the complex's test units have capabilities unmatched elsewhere in the United States; some are unique in the world. AEDC is one of three installations which are part of the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), one of six subordinate commands of the Air Force Materiel Command organization and an important national resource.
AEDC's mission is to conduct developmental test and evaluation for the Nation through modeling, simulation, ground, and flight test. Execution of the mission requires a large team of highly qualified and dedicated professionals from multiple technical disciplines to effectively accomplish the objectives of our test customers.
