Depot Level Electrical Engineer

Position Overview:

Organization: Sustainment – Depot Operations

Design, develop, and document all engineering data required to repair, upgrade, and sustain complex electronic boxes (LRUs) and associated electrical equipment in a depot environment. The role drives reliability, safety, and continuous‑improvement for depot‑supported systems.

Core Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain troubleshooting guides, fault‑isolation procedures, and repair instructions for power‑distribution units, wiring harnesses, control panels, and other LRUs.

• Produce, review, and approve electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and installation specifications using AutoCAD/E‑CAD tools (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical).

• Perform preventive‑maintenance inspections and condition‑based monitoring (IR thermography, vibration analysis); generate reliability and trend reports.

• Lead Root‑Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure‑Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) on recurring issues and recommend corrective actions.

• Author and control technical documentation: work orders, test procedures, as‑built drawings, maintenance manuals, and configuration records.

• Coordinate with mechanics, logistics, quality inspectors, and external vendors to schedule and execute repair and upgrade tasks.

• Enforce compliance with NFPA 70E, OSHA, and depot‑specific safety programs; conduct safety briefings and hazard assessments.

• Support equipment upgrades and retrofits, including UPS, battery systems, and PLC‑based control installations.

• Manage configuration control of engineering data within the depot CMMS (SAP PM, IBM Maximo, or equivalent).

• Participate in Sustainment team meetings, provide status updates, and contribute to continuous‑improvement initiatives.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an EAC/ABET accredited program or a closely related discipline

• (level 2) - Minimum 2 years of hands‑on electrical maintenance or engineering in a depot, OEM, or military‑support setting.

• (Level 3) - Minimum 5 years of hands‑on electrical maintenance or engineering in a depot, OEM, or military‑support setting.

• Active Secret clearance required.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical/EPLAN/SolidWorks Electrical

• Knowledge of power distribution, grounding, UPS, and battery systems

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams

• Familiarity with CMMS (SAP PM, IBM Maximo & Electrical Test Equipment)

Preferred Qualifications:

• IPC Certified IPC Specialist (CIS)

• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) or Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE)

• NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Certified

• OSHA 30‑Hour General Industry

• PLC programming and troubleshooting (Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Schneider)

• Condition‑based monitoring tools (IR thermography, vibration analysis)

• Hazardous Materials/HAZMAT handling (batteries, fuel cells)

• Advanced use of AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or SolidWorks Electrical for large‑scale schematic control

• Experience with configuration‑management tools (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill)

• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams during complex repair projects

• Strong written communication for technical documentation and training materials
