Principal Electrical Systems Architect

The Mission: Sustaining System Resilience in Extreme Environments

StaffRight Associates is recruiting for a Principal Electrical Systems Architect to spearhead the evolution of high-reliability power and control hardware. This role is not merely about circuit design; it is a mission to engineer hardware capable of maintaining absolute structural integrity within high-stakes, harsh-environment applications. You will be tasked with bridging the gap between theoretical electromagnetic physics and physical deployment, ensuring that complex analog-digital hybrid systems survive and thrive under rigorous thermal, electrical, and radiation-induced stressors.

Core Technical Objectives

• Orchestrate the comprehensive hardware lifecycle, translating abstract mission requirements into robust system architectures that endure from initial synthesis through long-term field sustainment.
• Engineer sophisticated analog and digital hardware solutions, utilizing high-fidelity simulation and iterative verification to ensure performance in electromagnetically noisy or extreme-temperature environments.
• Formalize technical documentation and architectural blueprints, defending design integrity during high-level peer reviews and stakeholder technical audits.
• Optimize the Goal-Execution-Mapping (GEM) of each project by navigating the multi-dimensional trade-offs between system performance, budgetary constraints, and mission-critical risk mitigation.
• Validate system resilience through hands-on forensic troubleshooting and root-cause analysis, supporting legacy infrastructure and modern manufacturing pipelines alike.
• Synthesize team capabilities by mentoring junior engineering talent and contributing technical rigor to project proposals and strategic human capital growth.

Candidate DNA

• Academic Foundation: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) is mandatory; a Master of Science (MSEE) is highly preferred for candidates specializing in complex system synthesis.
• Power Electronics Mastery: Deep functional expertise in high-speed switching and power conversion using wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN) as well as traditional MOSFET and IGBT topologies.
• Signal & Control Theory: Advanced proficiency in Z-domain analysis and coordinate transformation (Clark/Park) to drive precision motor control and sensor integration (LVDT, Resolver, Encoder).
• Environmental & Regulatory Rigor: Proven track record of designing for compliance within strict aerospace or defense frameworks (e.g., MIL-STD, DO-160) regarding EMI/EMC, power quality, and atmospheric resilience.
• Analytical Depth: Expertise in executing Worst-Case and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), accounting for component aging, thermal dissipation, and radiation-induced effects (TID/SEU).
• Interface Logic: Mastery of standard and high-speed communication protocols, ranging from legacy serial buses (RS-232/485) to high-bandwidth 10G Ethernet and PCIe architectures.
• Toolchain Proficiency: Expert-level command of industry-standard simulation and layout suites (e.g., SPICE-based modeling, MATLAB/Simulink, and advanced EDA tools for high-voltage PWB design).
