About Electrical Engineer

  Description:

  Electrical Engineering subject-matter expert (SME) to join the team and perform cradle-to-grave launch vehicle-centric hardware engineering. This entails being a part of the hardware development for multiple technical baselines and the associated operations planning, design engineering, ground support development, analysis, testing, integration, and launch/retrofit operations planning.

  GSS hardware and software products enable tactical or flight test launch. GSS products support interceptor lifecycle activities such as emplacement in silos, periodic maintenance, and software upgrade. The GSS product architecture must be extensible to accommodate additional interceptor types and must be scalable to support large missile fields hosting a mixed fleet of interceptors. GSS manages critical pre-launch interceptor actions via mechanical, electrical, power and message interfaces to these interceptors. For Flight Tests, GSS products support interceptor range tracking and flight termination systems as well as pre and post launch telemetry interfaces. GSS products ensure operational readiness of interceptors and availability for mission tasking via its interface with GMD Fire Control (GFC). The GWS system provides missile defense capabilities that protect and defend the United States of America.
