F/A-18 Lab Support
Location: 100% Onsite | Hazelwood, MO Clearance: U.S. Citizenship + Ability to obtain a Secret Clearance (required before start) Overview: We are seeking a mid-to-senior level Electrical Design Engineer to join the Flight Simulation Labs team supporting U.S. Navy Operational Training Centers (OTCs) for the F/A-18 program. This hands-on, lab-based role involves the design, integration, and lifecycle management of electrical hardware within simulation environments. In addition to strong technical capabilities, we're seeking someone who can bring a fresh perspective and help navigate and evolve team culture, working effectively alongside highly experienced (and at times, change-resistant) peers. Key Responsibilities: Design and support electrical systems and COTS component integration for simulation benches (OTCs) Execute the full product lifecycle: requirements gathering, design, test procedures, implementation, and maintenance Work with PC cards, resistors, transistors, cockpit hardware, and other simulation system components (Note: no circuit-level design) Maintain lab hardware inventory and manage spare parts Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (hardware, software, systems) Monitor supplier performance and ensure compliance with design requirements Influence lab operations and team culture to promote collaboration and innovation About the Team: You will join a team supporting F-15, F-18, and T-7A platforms. This role focuses on the F/A-18 OTC effort for the U.S. Navy. The team includes both employees and contractors, working to modernize its approach to collaboration and engineering workflows.
