Electrical Engineer, JR

Title:

KBR is currently seeking a junior level Electrical Engineer to support a multitude of customers in the test and evaluation of aircraft, weapon systems, prototypes, and other equipment to determine its reliability when subjected to different electromagnetic environments. This position specializes in Electromagnetic Environment Effects (E3) testing. E3 encompasses all electromagnetic disciplines, including electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic vulnerability, electromagnetic pulse, electronic protection, hazards of electromagnetic radiation to personnel/ordnance/fuel, and even natural phenomena, such as lightning and precipitation static.

The battery of E3 tests KBR performs are inherently dangerous and require a high degree of situational awareness and an uncompromising focus on safety. Some of the high-risk evolutions include:

• Directing hoist/crane operations to lift aircraft for simulated in-flight testing
• Performing direct/indirect lightning strikes, removal of static electricity, and measuring the effects of high-litude Electromagnetic Pulses
• Monitoring aircraft/personnel exposure limits to RF energy or high frequency
