JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
The Electrical Power and Control Systems (EPCS) Department within the Undersea Systems Office (USO) of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Pennsylvania State University is looking for enthusiastic and skilled Electrical Propulsion and Power Systems (EPPS) engineers to join our dynamic teams.
As part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will engage in the innovative development of advanced electric and hybrid electric propulsion and power systems for undersea vehicles. This includes the design and control of energy storage systems, integration of electric motors and controllers, power management, and conducting laboratory and field testing for defense-related applications.
ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and encourages all transitioning military members to apply.Your Responsibilities:
1. Lead the complete design and development lifecycle to identify competitive, efficient, and sophisticated electric and hybrid electric propulsion systems and subsystems.
2. Participate in the identification of system requirements, flow-down, and functional allocation.
3. Execute detailed design phases, including early design and development processes (market surveys, alternatives analysis, interface control documents, functional design documents, and test plans/reports), followed by design reviews and documentation packages.
4. Utilize state-of-the-art CAD tools to capture approved hardware designs and demonstrate that the design meets the identified requirements during large-scale system integration exercises and verification stages.
5. Test EPPS designs using advanced hardware-in-the-loop testing methods to support integration with larger systems.
6. Assist in laboratory and field testing of prototype EPPS to validate final designs.
This position can be filled at various levels, depending on your education and experience. Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree; a Master's Degree is preferred. Additional experience and/or education may be required for higher levels.
Additional Responsibilities:
1. Serve as a technical leader on multiple projects.
2. Manage multiple and/or large projects.
3. Create opportunities to enhance technical methodologies.
4. Mentor and train assigned employees in developing technical, project, and business development skills.
Required Skills:
1. Design experience in low and high voltage power conversion and battery systems, including lithium-based battery chemistries.
2. Proficiency in CAD tools for design concepts, layouts, and procurement documentation generation.
3. Demonstrated ability to work within or lead a technical team.
4. Hands-on experience with a solid understanding of electronics concepts, with proven ability to build, troubleshoot, and integrate hardware into complex systems.
Preferred Skills:
1. Experience with LabVIEW and Matlab (Simulink, Stateflow, and RT-LAB) for simulation and control.
2. Familiarity with mechanical CAD tools, including Siemens NX and Solidworks.
3. Knowledge of electrical CAD tools, including Altium Design Suite.
4. Experience with battery management systems (BMS).
5. Prior high voltage training and experience.
6. Experience operating battery test equipment.
7. Familiarity with embedded C/C++ and VHDL/Verilog firmware languages.
Your working location will be fully on-site in State College, PA. This position may require periodic travel to remote locations for field testing as part of a small team of researchers, engineers, and technologists.
ARL at Penn State is a vital part of one of the leading research universities in the nation, serving as a center of excellence in defense science, systems, and technologies with a focus on naval missions and related areas.
ARL is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion; we believe this is central to our success as a Department of Defense designated University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).
