The Electrical Systems Engineer works closely with ALAE Solutions' technologists to execute projects for US government customers, including supporting integration activities at Robins AFB, located within 2 miles of our offices. This position will directly support a government contract now in progress with a period of performance running into 2028. Some telework may be possible, subject to business needs and contract execution requirements. This hardware development role includes collaborating with team members to develop both hardware and software. Our small-team approach requires a candidate with experience across multiple engineering disciplines and an ability to learn new skills/technologies. The Electrical Systems Engineer will apply technical expertise to solve complex design challenges in the automated testing of analog, digital, and RF equipment. The Electrical Systems Engineer will contribute to all phases of development, including requirements, detailed design, design reviews, technical documentation, fabrication, integration, testing, installation, and deployment. Interacting with government customers requires excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills. Strong candidates will have experience selecting and integrating analog, digital, and RF electronic test equipment to achieve system objectives. Experience with automated test systems/equipment (ATS/ATE) and Test Program Sets (TPSs) is ideal. Familiarity with C# and C/C++ is helpful as the role includes close collaboration with software engineers to validate system performance against customer requirements. Demonstrated success in delivering results on contracts is desired. The ability to work independently with minimal supervision is desired to achieve agreed-upon strategic, tactical, technical, and business development objectives.
Duties and Responsibilities consist of but are not limited to the following:
Analyze system requirements to select and combine commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog, digital, and RF components and instruments to meet system-level requirements.
Collaborate with software engineers to ensure system compatibility of all instrumentation.
Take a hands-on role in "racking and stacking" electronic test equipment suitable for industrial deployment.
Design and document cables and wire runs suitable for build-to-print contracts.
Validate conformance of cables and components received from vendors.
Configure, integrate, and validate instrumentation and cabling.
Perform engineering tasks supporting the rehosting of legacy Test Programs to VDATS.
Maintain client relationships and work closely with vendors to further project goals.
Desired Qualifications, Education, and Experience:
BS or MS in electrical or electronic engineering, software engineering, or computer science.
Experience with ATS, VDATS, embedded controllers, and working with DoD projects desired.
Development in C/C++/C# for Microsoft Windows.
Experience with XML data processing and an understanding of IEEE STD-1671 ATML are helpful.
Experience rehosting TPS and ATLAS programming for ATS.
Experience with product development and sustainment is a plus.
Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
Ability to obtain/maintain SECRET clearance required.
