Would you like to be part of the electrical systems of the future? BAE Systems Space and Mission Systems (SMS) in beautiful Boulder, Colorado pioneers electrical systems for challenging space, air, and ground applications. We are looking for Electrical Engineers with technical expertise in EMI/EMC who can help design and build next generation electronics.

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. 

What You’ll Do:
 

• Define the electronics EMI compliance architecture for spacecraft subsystem and assembly level hardware. This includes: technology assessments, instrument and/or spacecraft requirements flow-down to electronic subsystems, electronic requirements analysis and allocation, electrical subsystem conceptual development/trade studies, supporting hardware development efforts for current and future program needs and providing system test support during environmental EMC testing.
• Support instrument remote sensing and/or spacecraft bus programs especially in the areas of EMI/EMC requirements, design, issues and testing (unit level and system level).
• Document test results and exceedances, and write post-test compliance reports.
• Participate and/or lead activities in all phases of a program life-cycle from concept development to delivery.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
• Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
• Perform other duties as necessary.

 
On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site three or more days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required.

• Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment.
• May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required.
• May access other facilities in various weather conditions.

• BS degree or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required, plus 8 or more years of related experience.
• Each higher-level degree, i.e., Master’s Degree or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience. Related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education. Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.
• A current, active Top Secret security clearance is required with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI. 
• Knowledge of the physics of EMI/EMC and system interactions at the physical layer.
• An understanding of requirements definition, decomposition, and flow-down, circuit design, interface definition, hardware specifications, interface control, analyses, and verification.
• Analytical skills including FMECA, WCA, reliability and risk mitigation.
• Significant experience of MIL-STD-461/462/1541 and SMC-S-016 testing requirements.
• Significant experience with EMI/EMC/RF analysis suites
• Excellent communication skills, presentation skills, and the ability to lead group discussions.

• Knowledgeable of space environmental factors (radiation, Total Ionizing Dose, etc) and how they interact with EMC/EMI concerns.
• Knowledgeable in FPGA-based electronics architecture and the impact of EMI on such architectures.
• Experience with Ansys HFSS.
• Degree in Electrical Engineering preferred.
