The Electrical Systems Lead serves as the electrical engineering lead for the Air Vehicle Integrated Product Team (IPT), supporting the Air Vehicle IPT Lead with end-to-end technical leadership for the aircraft’s electrical architecture, power distribution, wiring systems, and electrical integration. This role owns the electrical systems technical baseline and ensures that power, signal, and grounding architectures are robust, safe, manufacturable, and fully integrated with all air vehicle subsystems.
Requirements
- Serve as the electrical engineering lead for the Air Vehicle IPT, owning electrical system architecture and technical decision-making.
- Define and maintain the aircraft electrical system architecture, including power generation, distribution, protection, and grounding.
- Own electrical requirements flowdown, trade studies, and system-level design margins.
- Act as the technical authority for electrical system design reviews, change control, and configuration decisions.
- Lead design of electrical power distribution systems, wiring harnesses, connectors, and electrical enclosures.
- Ensure proper electrical integration of avionics, propulsion, payloads, sensors, and auxiliary systems.
- Define interface requirements between electrical systems and airframe structures.
- Ensure compliance with electrical safety, EMI/EMC, and environmental requirements.
- Guide electrical system analysis including power budgets, load analysis, fault protection, and redundancy strategies.
- Define electrical test strategies including continuity, insulation resistance, power-on testing, and system-level verification.
- Support ground and flight test activities by troubleshooting electrical system issues and supporting anomaly resolution.
- Own closure of electrical system discrepancies, test findings, and nonconformances.
- Partner with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure electrical designs are producible and scalable.
- Support wiring harness fabrication, routing, installation, and inspection processes.
- Drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) improvements for electrical systems.
- Support production readiness reviews and transition to sustained production.
- Serve as the primary electrical systems interface to airframe, avionics, propulsion, systems engineering, and program leadership.
- Communicate electrical system risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders.
- Mentor electrical engineers and specialists through technical guidance and design reviews.
