Job Description

Description

SAIC is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our team of professionals executing complex system integration efforts for the Navy and United States Marines Corps in Charleston, SC.

This work primarily entails design and development of advanced solutions for unusually complex technical problems and provides solutions which are highly innovative and ingenious.  These solutions may include pneumatics, hydraulics, electro-mechanical devices, mechanical systems, electrical systems and other technical functional areas.  A subset of the developed solutions will be comprised of electro-mechanical systems validated in a systems integration laboratory (SIL) and on operational demonstrator systems that will required embedded system design awareness.

Relevant work includes confirmation of in cable/harness routings and specification of the harnesses (connectors/termination, conductors, shielding, marinization, abrasion sleeves, etc.), test stand build-up, lab testing of components and subsystems, and control system software development. Design support will be assigned to the selected engineer to support development of the associated technical data package for production of the harnesses and cables. Work will be conducted in our North Charleston office space as well as our system integration lab located in Hanahan, SC.

Job Duties:

• Designs and develops electrical architecture for complex Naval systems, equipment and packages.  
• Conducts feasibility studies and concepts validated through laboratory testing on new and modified designs.
