Education: A Bachelor's in Engineering in a designated area of specialization or related discipline from an accredited college/university.

Months/Years of Experience: N/A

Required Qualifications: Must be a U.S. Citizen and have or be able to obtain a DoD security clearance.

Desired Qualifications: Basic/Intermediate competency with MS Office, programming, and technical drawings desired. Ability to obtain and maintain an FAA Class III medical certificate.

Duties: Provide electrical engineering support for testing and evaluation of military aviation platforms. Specify instrumentation needed to support flight testing areas such as avionics, communications, radar, infrared equipment, lasers, navigation equipment, and computer circuitry to obtain and record specified data. Provide electrical drawing, operational analyses, material and manpower requirements, and cost estimates. Advise project personnel on limitations and capabilities of state-of-the-art equipment, proven and theoretical concepts, advantages, disadvantages, risks, compromises, and expectations.

In your role as an Electrical Engineer, you will directly support implementation of non-standard instrumentation systems on U.S. Army aircraft in support of Redstone Test Center flight testing operations. Using your experience in electrical or electronics engineering, you will design and facilitate integration of instrumentation to meet flight test data requirements.
