Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) who specifies, designs, and seals electrical drawings for government facilities, including secure and sensitive facilities, and for mobile platforms, in support of MAG Aerospace's U.S. Government defense programs. The role carries the electrical design from requirements and specification through sealed, construction-ready drawings and construction support. Reporting to program leadership, it applies across a portfolio of programs rather than any single effort.

The position designs facility and platform electrical systems, power distribution, grounding and bonding, backup power, and low-voltage electronic security, audiovisual, and information-technology infrastructure; produces and seals the drawings; and supports the design through construction and integration. The role is open at the mid-career and senior levels and requires an active PE license and the ability to seal drawings.

• Design grounding, bonding, lightning protection, and backup power (generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and automatic transfer switches) for mission-critical and secure facilities.
• Design electrical systems for secure and sensitive facilities, including the separation and emission-security measures such facilities require, in coordination with security engineering.
• Design and integrate electronic security systems (access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance) and their power and cabling infrastructure.
• Design audiovisual, video-teleconferencing, information-technology, and structured-cabling infrastructure for secure and sensitive facilities.
• Design mobile platform electrical systems: vehicle power to MIL-STD-1275, alternators, battery, inverter, and regulated distribution, and wiring, harness, and grounding, in support of the platform team.
• Produce, review, and configuration-control the electrical drawing set, and support the design through construction, installation, inspection, and authority-having-jurisdiction review.
•  

REQUIRED / MINIMUM SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in electrical engineering, with the ability to seal and stamp construction and installation drawings.
