Electrical Engineer The Radar Analog and Power Department is seeking electrical engineers with knowledge of generators, analog electronics, power electronics, power systems, and/or control systems. The ideal candidate possesses a strong combination of design, production, or product support experience with generators, mobile generators, control systems, and power distribution systems. The department is responsible for design engineering, product and production support in the following areas: Electric Generator controls & operation engineering for wound-field synchronous generators and excitation controls for both stationery and mobile applications in the range of 30 kW to 3000 kWPower System Design - Power System Simulation and Modeling, Solid State Transmitters, Tube Transmitters, High Voltage Design, Power Sources, Generators Power Conversion - AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC, Linear and Switching Supplies, Power Factor Correction (PFC) Power Distribution - Multi-Phase Power Control, Fault Reporting, Protection Circuits, Redundant Systems Protective relay systems for medium size power sub-stations with 4160 Volt to 15 kV main distribution level Power Sub-System Design - Filters, Harmonic Control, EMI, Circuit Simulation, Magnetics, Protective Relay Systems, Short Circuit and Stress Analyses Control Systems – Servo Control Systems, Motor/Power/Process Control, Digital Feedback Systems, Design of systems using MATLAB Simulink for power system simulations
What you will do:- Work closely with a team of engineers and vendors to develop designs based on system performance and operational specifications.
- Work with vendors to optimize generator systems based on system and customer requirements
- Provide support for legacy generator systems
- Analyze, simulate, test, and document power generation and conversion (and related analog) circuitry.
- Work to further our department's mastery of power generation and help develop related best practices.
- Resolve production and obsolescence issues related to existing generator product designs
- Support both in-field and reach-back troubleshooting, subsystem / component / benchtop repairs & regression testing
- Instrument and collect measurements on equipment (voltage, current, temperature) using electronic test and data acquisition equipment.
- Present reviews of technical data to program leadership, technical staff, and customer community. Manage related risk discussions.
- Lead small teams to success with schedule, budget, and technical execution
- Engage in personal technical growth and facilitate technical growth in peers and junior engineers. Help to understand what opportunities are needed to mature the organization on the technical front.
- Regular travel to Tewksbury, MA; Marlborough, MA; Andover, MA; Woburn, MA; and/or Pelham, NH may be required depending on the assignment.
- Qualifications you must have:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
- Minimum of 8+ years of experience in power generation, power system design, power conversion, power distribution, power sub-system design and/or control systems
- Experience in modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling tools
- Experience with unique safety issues related to working with and servicing rotating electromechanical systems and/or high voltage systems greater than 500VAC
