General Atomics


Job Summary:


General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies.


General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems. GA-EMS' expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions support critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide.


We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Electrical Engineer (EE) to join our Electrical Technologies team located in Rancho Bernardo. We are looking for someone with drive, talent, and experience in Electrical Circuit and Component Radiation Assurance and Mixed-Signal Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) design whose expertise in electronics circuit and component Radiation Effects, Analysis, and Testing will guide engineering teams in strategizing and developing approaches for EEE component testing, screening, and qualification. This role includes analyzing mission parameters and radiation environments to develop requirements and analyses to guide EEE component selection for space systems designs while enabling trade studies of technical performance, cost, schedule, and risks. The successful candidate will report to an EE Design Team Manager and, alongside high-caliber staff, will be engaged in the engineering support and new development of laser and electro-optical sensors and payloads for space vehicles, space-based optical communications, nuclear instrumentation and control for space systems, command and data handling electronics, cutting-edge technology ventures into Defense and “NewSpace,” and a variety of disruptive technologies in the expanding product portfolio of GA-EMS.


DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:


+ Work with GA-EMS Engineering staff and chief engineers in the concept development and prototype design, integration, and test of electrical systems and electronics solutions with an emphasis on Circuit and Component Radiation Assurance for space systems products.

+ With limited direction, exercise considerable latitude in determining technical objectives for the review, research, design, development, and/or solution to advanced technical engineering problems.

+ Demonstrate prior experience in the improvement of legacy systems and development of new systems.

+ Generate Circuit and Component Radiation Assurance solutions for new project needs, perform engineering analyses for systems and circuits, document findings, communicate results to engineering and program management staff, give technical presentations, and manage technical effort schedules.

+ Function in an advisory or leadership role as a senior subject matter expert for a project/program and provide planning, direction and oversight to less experienced professional staff or team of professional staff in technical efforts involving space-based electrical power and command and data handling electronics.

+ Plan and coordinate the support of engineering solutions including analysis, documentation, reporting, publishing, and making technical and other presentations to ensure viability of the solution(s) in an evolving environment.

+ Plan for future applications of solutions based on new developments in engineering technology.

+ Participate in or may lead the development of new or expansion of existing business opportunities.

+ Communicate with colleagues and management throughout solution development and deployment cycles.

+ Represent the company as a prime technical contact on contracts and/or projects and interact with external personnel on technical matters requiring coordination between the organizations.

+ Perform other duties as assigned or required.


We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
