College Station, Texas, United States Applied Research Laboratory at the Penn State University Full time

Position Overview: The Electrical Power and Control Systems (EPCS) Department at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) is in search of skilled Electrical Propulsion and Power Systems (EPPS) engineers. The successful candidates will engage with interdisciplinary engineering teams to innovate electric and hybrid electric propulsion and power systems tailored for undersea vehicles.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the comprehensive design and development process to create efficient and competitive electric and hybrid propulsion systems.
  • Contribute to the identification of system requirements and ensure effective flow-down and functional allocation.
  • Oversee detailed design phases, including market analysis, interface control documents, and functional design documentation, culminating in design reviews and acceptance.
  • Utilize advanced CAD tools to capture approved hardware designs and validate that these designs meet specified requirements during system integration and verification stages.
  • Conduct testing of EPPS designs through advanced hardware-in-the-loop methods to ensure compatibility with larger systems.
  • Facilitate laboratory and field testing of prototype EPPS to validate final designs.

Qualifications:

This role can be filled at various levels based on education and experience, typically requiring a Bachelor's Degree in an Engineering or Science discipline. Additional qualifications may be necessary for more advanced positions.

Essential Skills:

  • Proficiency in CAD tools for design concepts and procurement documentation.
  • Ability to work collaboratively within or lead a technical team.
  • Hands-on experience with electronics concepts, demonstrating skills in building, troubleshooting, and integrating hardware into complex systems.
  • Experience in low and high voltage power conversion and battery systems, particularly with lithium-based chemistries, is advantageous.

Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with LabVIEW and Matlab (including Simulink, Stateflow, and RT-LAB) for simulation and control purposes.
  • Experience with mechanical CAD tools such as Siemens NX and Solidworks.
  • Knowledge of electrical CAD tools, specifically Altium Design Suite.
  • Experience in the design and operation of battery management systems (BMS) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with battery testing equipment (e.g., Aerovironment, Arbin) is beneficial.
  • Experience with embedded C/C++ and VHDL/Verilog firmware languages is a plus.
  • Prior training and experience in high voltage systems is advantageous.

Work Environment: This position is fully on-site and may require occasional travel to support field testing as part of a collaborative team of researchers and engineers.

Commitment to Diversity: ARL is dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, recognizing that these principles are vital to our success as a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).
