Internship Electrical Engineer Navy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Sierra Lobo, offers customers a full range of professional and technical capabilities, including Test and Evaluation, Systems Engineering, and Advanced Technologies.  We also develop products and processes related to Cryogenic Fluid and Thermal Management Systems, Densified Propellant Management Systems, and Prototype Extreme Pressure and Temperature Systems.  Our customers include the Department of Defense (DoD), the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

This position is located at our Brook Park Ohio facility. 

FUNCTION OF POSITION

Apply creative and analytical engineering ability and knowledge of Electrical Engineering design principles and techniques to execute design and support efforts ranging from very simple to complex. Provide technical input, problem definition, concept development, engineering analysis, and functional performance requirements definition.  Use a self-sufficient and hands-on approach to advance designs from concept to successfully functioning hardware.  Interface with all levels of customer organizations during requirement definition, design reviews, and within technical working groups.

1. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2. Design, analyze, develop, prototype, refine, integrate, test and deliver a very wide variety of specialized electronic circuits, integrated systems and related support equipment applicable to the Aerospace and related industries.

1. Contribute to new product and service development efforts from an Electrical Engineering perspective. Identify and advocate for new product and service opportunities, establish business cases for these opportunities (including technical feasibility analysis, market analysis, cost model development, risk analysis, etc.).  Contribute to planning, estimation and resource planning for new development efforts.  Make significant technical contributions to new development efforts from an electrical engineering perspective.

1. Support business development activities associated with new and existing products, services and contracts. Responsibilities include proposal planning and development, development and documentation of proposed technical solutions, and cost and schedule development.  In addition to technical proficiency, excellent oral and written technical communications skills are required.  Approximately 5% travel within the continental US will be required.

1. Use SLI Systems Engineering process in support of project management and technical execution. Identify opportunities to refine and tailor this process and implement changes to this process upon authorization.

1. Provide occasional technical direction and support to Junior Electrical Engineers, Electronics Technicians, Instrumentation and Controls Technicians, and Electricians in the installation, checkout, calibration, troubleshooting and operation of a wide variety of related components and systems.  

1. Create and revise electrical schematics, drawings, calibration records, technical procedures, and quality control documentation associated with AS9100 and ISO-9001 processes.

1. Prepare purchase requisitions, hardware/software specifications for electronic/electrical equipment, and Sole-Source justifications when appropriate. Evaluate vendor proposals and provide technical recommendations for procurement.

1. Support large and small scale test operations including operations of control and instrumentation systems.

1. Develop and present materials for design reviews, safety reviews, and other technical presentations.

1. SUPERVISOR GUIDANCE

Is technically responsible for meeting project requirements. Must be capable of working with minimal supervision at times.  Successful performance in this role will lead to an increasing level of independence.

1. SUPERVISION OF OTHERS

Does not normally provide direct supervision of other personnel unless assigned as a lead project engineer or task manager.  May provide technical direction to junior engineers and technicians assigned to projects.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL REQUIREMENTS
