Outpost Technologies is seeking a talented Electrical Engineer 2 to design and support innovative electrical systems across aerospace, defense, and advanced technology applications. In this role, you will create wiring schematics and layouts, select and integrate components, assemble and test enclosures, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless system integration. Youll apply your knowledge of circuit analysis, safety standards, and hands-on assembly to design, prototype, troubleshoot, and refine solutions that meet demanding environmental and performance requirements. This position offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on mission-critical projects while working in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment.

Position Responsibilities:

• Design basic wiring schematics and layouts for electrical systems.
• Select appropriate connectors, wiring and components based on project requirements, including voltage, current, and environmental factors.
• Assemble and test electrical enclosures, including wiring, mounting components, and ensuring proper grounding and shielding.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical systems into larger assemblies.
• Perform troubleshooting and basic modifications to existing electrical setups.
• Document designs, assemblies, and test results in accordance with engineering standards.
• Support prototyping and production activities, adhering to safety protocols and quality guidelines.

Basic Qualifications:

• Candidate must possess a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent degree from an ABET-accredited university.
• Candidate must have 5-12 years of Electrical Engineering experience. Graduate degrees, military service, or technical accreditations/certifications may be substituted for experience years where applicable.
  
• Familiarity with basic electrical principles, including Ohm's Law, circuit analysis, and safety standards (e.g., NEC or IPC).
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and blueprints.
• Experience with common tools and equipment, such as multimeters, crimping tools, soldering irons, and wire strippers.
  

Preferred Qualifications:
