Job Description

About the Role

The Senior Electrical Engineer plays a critical role in driving innovation at GE Aerospace, designing, developing, and testing electrical devices and equipment that will be used in the aerospace industry. This is a highly technical role that requires a deep understanding of electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, electromagnetic theory, and power systems. The successful candidate will be part of a team of engineers, technologists, designers, mathematicians, and problem solvers who are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in aerospace. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for managing the manufacturing process, using design software to produce schematics, and overseeing the installation of your designs. You will work closely with mechanical engineers to design 3D harness routing in SolidWorks and will be responsible for testing systems to meet radiated and conducted emissions requirements, electromagnetic susceptibility requirements, and constant and transient voltage requirements. GE Aerospace is a dynamic and innovative company that is committed to reviving the no-boundaries mentality in aerospace. The company is looking for talented and motivated individuals who are passionate about electrical engineering and who are eager to make a real contribution to the industry.

What You Will Do

  • Design and construct printed circuit board assemblies, passive filter circuits, electrical subassembly schematics, and electrical block diagrams
  • Use KiCAD, Altium, Visio, or other schematic/diagram software to design and develop electrical systems
  • Use LTSpice or similar modeling software to simulate circuits and test systems
  • Support mechanical engineers to design 3D harness routing in SolidWorks
  • Design, assemble, and test electronics shielding and electromagnetic interference filters and electromagnetic compatibility
  • Test systems to meet radiated and conducted emissions requirements, electromagnetic susceptibility requirements, and to meet constant and transient voltage requirements
  • Develop specifications and performance requirements for development projects
  • Calculate cost analysis for testing and integrating new designs
  • Use programming knowledge and experience to adapt equipment to specific job applications
  • Prepare operating instructions and programs for equipment
  • Oversee integration of design builds to ensure they function according to specifications
  • Evaluate prototypes to ensure the capability to complete desired functions

What We Are Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university or college
  • Minimum 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, electromagnetic theory, and power systems
  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in relevant industry and government standards and regulations (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-704)
  • Minimum 2+ years of experience in computer-aided design (CAD) software and other engineering tools used to design and test electrical systems (preferably Altium)
  • Minimum 2+ years of strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and solve complex engineering problems
  • Experience working on systems engineering tasks (such as requirements, architectures, and verification)

Nice to Have

  • Experience with electrical analysis tools such as Spice, MATLAB (Simulink and Simscape), and ANSYS
  • Experience with high-level conceptual design capture tools such as VISIO
  • Strong oral and written communication skills

Benefits and Perks

  • Competitive salary
  • Annual discretionary bonus based on a percentage of base salary/commission
  • Comprehensive benefits and programs to support health and wellbeing
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth
  • Remote work arrangements
  • Access to cutting-edge technology and tools

How to Stand Out

  • Make sure to highlight your experience with electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, electromagnetic theory, and power systems, in your resume and cover letter.
  • Be prepared to provide specific examples of your experience with CAD software and other engineering tools used to design and test electrical systems.
  • Familiarize yourself with the company's products and services, and be prepared to discuss how your skills and experience align with their needs.
  • Practice your problem-solving skills and be prepared to provide examples of how you have solved complex engineering problems in the past.
  • Don't be afraid to ask questions during the interview process, and be prepared to discuss your career goals and how they align with the company's vision.
  • Consider creating a portfolio or samples of your work to showcase your skills and experience to potential employers.
