Credence has an immediate need for an Electrical Engineer at the journeyman level to support the mission of the Global Hawk (AFLCMC/WIAG) and U-2 (AFLCMC/WIA) Division is to provide continuous, high altitude long endurance (HALE), all-weather, day/night, wide area reconnaissance and surveillance remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems. Global Hawk and U-2 Division is located at both Wright Patterson AFB, OH and Robins AFB, GA. The mission of the Sustainment Branch (AFLCMC/WIAGA) is to provide sustainment support to the operational Global Hawk fleet to include aircraft, payloads, and ground assets. Sustainment Branch is located at Robins AFB, GA. The mission of the International & New Business Branch (AFLCMC/WIAPC) is to avail exportable versions of all-weather, day/night, wide area reconnaissance HALE RPA capabilities to international US partners. International & New Business Branch is located at Wright Patterson AFB, OH.

The Electrical Engineer will provide electrical engineering support for programs and projects. Support involves all the system engineering research, design, development, installation, testing, and operation aspects of the systems under the responsibility of the IPT. The Electrical Engineer will effectively apply practical engineering knowledge of a wide range of established system engineering principles, concepts and methods, with an emphasis on electrical engineering. The Electrical Engineer will ensure Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) is considered in all activities.

• Assist in translating DoD user requirements into system requirements, which are used to design, develop, fabricate, test, and evaluate systems, subsystems, and equipment.
• Review overall system design baseline (architecture and interoperability) requirements.
• Assist in the development of system specifications and system architecture products.
• Perform independent analysis of proposed engineering changes and specifications and provide the Government with their evaluation and recommendations on the acceptability of vendor proposals.
• Support life cycle cost evaluations on proposed systems and components.
• Assist with test and evaluation support including test planning, test conduct and evaluation of test results against operational requirements to include participating in Integrated Test Teams (ITTs), Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), and other related system or program events and assisting in the determination of capability and availability of major DoD and civilian test resources and facilities.
• Assist in scheduling and securing required test resources in support of project and program office objectives.
• Monitor, assess status, and report on Test and Evaluation (T&E) efforts of all types of systems.
• Assist in designing, planning, execution, analysis, reporting, and documentation during any phase of test and evaluation programs, including applicable certifications and procedures, to assess the performance of systems, subsystems, components, and equipment.
• Support the development of system and program’s technical plans to include the review of technical documents, participation in program or system Working Groups, tracking status of risk and issue resolution, review of test plans, procedures, and data, and support of special studies to define alternative approaches.

A strong background in avionics is preferred for the ideal candidate.

• Active TS/SCI required.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET accredited university and at least three (3) years of experience in the respective technical / professional discipline being performed, three (3) of which must be in the DoD or other United States Government (USG) ISR/SOF Organizations.
• OR, seven (7) years of directly related experience with proper certifications as described in the PWS labor category performance requirements, five (5) of which must be in the DoD or other USG ISR/SOF Organizations.
