About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as the electrical Subject Matter Expert (SME) for our V-BAT Fleet Support team. In this position, you will own customer-facing engineering support for aircraft electrical issues across our fielded fleet. You will act as the critical bridge between Fleet Support and our avionics, electrical, software, and systems engineering teams, ensuring complex technical problems are resolved quickly and thoroughly.

This role is designed for an engineer who thrives in a dynamic environment, moving fluidly between schematic-level analysis, hardware debugging, and direct field support. You will lead escalated investigations into aircraft electrical and avionics issues, diagnosing everything from power-distribution faults and connector failures to intermittent anomalies caused by environmental factors. Your work will directly influence design improvements by identifying recurring failure patterns and driving clear feedback into our manufacturing and quality organizations.
