Freelance Rf Filter Design Engineer Jobs in Atlanta, GA

At MAG, we look for individuals who thrive in a high-performance environment where challenges are the norm and success is expected. The Electrical / Harness Design Engineer provides electrical power, grounding and bonding, and wiring and harness design across MAG Aerospace's U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) command and control portfolio: mobile command platforms, fixed and survivable C2 facilities, and integration sites.

The mobile C2 platform is the current anchor, where the engineer owns the power architecture and the harness and pinout design, and the same discipline applies to facility power distribution, protection, and TEMPEST grounding and bonding across the portfolio. The engineer converts the platform or facility architecture and the discipline interface definitions into a buildable electrical design: power one-line diagrams, protection coordination, harness and cable designs, connector selection, and pinout definitions. The documentation specialist draws and configuration-controls these products, and the integration technicians build and terminate to them.

The electrical design must be platform-agnostic and repeatable across vehicle types and installations. ****Must Be US Citizen*** Essential Duties and Responsibilities ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES * Design the platform power architecture: vehicle alternators, battery bank, inverter, and regulated 28 VDC distribution per MIL-STD-1275, including the external interface for engine-off and battery or solar trickle backup. * Perform power load analysis, alternator and battery sizing, conductor and wire sizing, and overcurrent protection coordination.

* Design the grounding, bonding, and earthing scheme for the platform, coordinating with the RF and TEMPEST engineer on EMI and emission-security requirements. * Develop wiring harness and cable designs, define pinouts, and select connectors and interfaces for power and signal, and provide these to the documentation specialist for drawing and configuration control. * Specify power filtering and transient protection at points of entry in coordination with the survivability and TEMPEST requirements.

* Develop the electrical design basis for fielding and integration kits, and define electrical interface control across vehicle types. * Support electrical bring-up, acceptance test, and fault isolation with the integration technicians, and resolve electrical design discrepancies. * Support electrical design reviews and program technical reviews.

Requirements REQUIRED / MINIMUM SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE * Expert electrical design for vehicle or platform power systems, including direct current distribution, conductor sizing, and overcurrent protection coordination. * Demonstrated experience designing wiring harnesses, cables, and interconnect for electronic systems, including pinout definition and connector selection. * Working command of grounding, bonding, and earthing design and of electrical and electromagnetic interference considerations.

* Proficiency in electrical CAD for schematic, harness, and interconnect design (Creo Schematics, Zuken, Capital, or equivalent). * Experience with vehicle power systems (alternators, batteries, inverters) and MIL-STD-1275 28 VDC vehicle power, and combined electrical and mechanical integration. ADDITIONAL PREFERRED SKILLS * Experience with TEMPEST and ICD 705 grounding, bonding, and earthing for fixed sensitive compartmented information facilities and command and control facilities.

* Familiarity with MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and with power-line filtering and transient protection. * Experience with military or tactical platform electrical integration and with circular military-specification, RF coaxial, and fiber connector systems. * Familiarity with MIL-STD-31000 technical data package electrical drawing requirements.

* Prior U.S. military service, or direct experience supporting U.S. military operations.

* An active or current Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) clearance. * Experience supporting nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3), strategic communications, or continuity-of-operations programs. EDUCATION Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

Master's degree preferred. MINIMUM YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Minimum of 8 years of electrical design experience, including power distribution and wiring harness or interconnect design for vehicles or comparable ruggedized platforms. CERTIFICATIONS, LICENSES, AND CLEARANCE Must hold, or be able to obtain and maintain, a U.S.

Department of Defense Top Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information access (TS/SCI). U.S. citizenship is required.

This position involves access to technical data controlled under U.S. export control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). TRAVEL Up to 25 percent, to integration, demonstration, site-survey, and customer sites in CONUS and OCONUS.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Work is performed in office, bench-integration laboratory, and high-bay vehicle-integration environments. Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds, work in and around vehicles, and use hand and power tools. #LI-VF1 Special Note The position is contingent upon candidate's ability to meet physical and medical requirements as needed by the position; including compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictional requirements.
