The Role
The Electrical Engineer provides technical and engineering support services for the Air Combat Electronics program office at NAVAIR (PMA-209). Candidates should have experience with software defined radios, including Embedded COMSEC, anti-jam, and SATCOM waveforms. Work products include review of ECPs and CDRL documents, drafting technical white papers and platform integration plans, and testing ARC-210 radio capabilities provided through Collins radio and RCU software releases.
Why DSE
DSE doesn't just ask for your experience, it rewards it. DSE's PTO program is experience-based rather than tenure-based, meaning the relevant industry experience you bring with you can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, rather than starting over at the bottom like you would at most employers. It's a rare structure in this industry, where most companies only reward the tenure you earn after you join, not the years of expertise you bring with you.
That same philosophy carries through the rest of the benefits package:
- Starting salary range: $129,000 to $160,000 annually
- 100% company-paid medical and dental premiums for employees (50% for dependents)
- 401(k) with up to a 4% company match
- Fully paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance, no cost to you
- Employer-funded FSA plus HRA contributions toward your deductible
- Experience-based PTO: your prior relevant experience can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, plus the option to purchase additional PTO
- 11 paid holidays (6 national, 5 floating)
- Tuition reimbursement to support continued professional growth
