We are seeking a highly motivated and resilient Entry-Level Electrical Engineer to join our team, focusing on assisting in the design, implementation, maintenance, and improvement of EMALS/AAG. 

The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for assisting in the design, implementation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and improvement of electrical engineering functions to the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and/or Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG). EMALS is the aircraft launch system on Ford Class Carriers. It uses electromagnetic technology to launch aircraft from the deck of naval aircraft carriers.

This includes supporting 1000 VDC, 440 VAC, and 120 VAC power and control systems onboard aircraft carriers. This role requires a highly adaptable and resilient individual who is willing and able to travel to challenging environments and perform duties in physically demanding and uncomfortable conditions aboard naval vessels (surface), military installations, or remote field sites. The Electrical Engineer will work closely with senior engineers to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of the AAG and/or EMALS.

This position requires readiness for travel, up to 5-20% or more, both domestically and internationally. This includes the ability to deploy aboard naval vessels (surface) or to remote forward operating bases in different environments.

  • Candidates must be comfortable and capable of working in challenging and often uncomfortable conditions, such as noisy machinery, confined spaces, elevated heights, extreme temperatures (hot/cold), wet or humid environments, and areas with fumes, dust, or vibrations
  • Physical readiness is a prerequisite, necessitating the ability to lift, carry, push, and pull objects up to 50 lbs, and to stand, walk, climb ladders/stairs, stoop, kneel, crouch, and crawl for extended periods. Manual dexterity and fine motor skills are required for operating tools and equipment
  • The ability to wear all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, respirators, and steel-toed boots, is mandatory
  • Travel required, up to 5-20% or more, both domestically or internationally. Valid US Passport is required
