Electrical Power Systems Engineers

We're more than aviation experts, we're pioneers. We challenge what's possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, Bell is shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering . And we want you.

We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Bell Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) part of the US Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) modernization effort. We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless and Bell's High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) program, a next generation aircraft.

These positions are onsite in Fort Worth, TX.

Electrical Power Systems Engineering Overview:

The Electrical Power Systems Engineer is responsible for developing and integrating the aircraft electrical power generation & distribution subsystem, ice protection system, and interior/exterior lighting.

What you'll be doing as an Electrical Systems Engineer:

• Electrical and Lighting Subsystem architecture design, requirements management, systems specifications, interface management, system schematics, and integration with other vehicle management / aircraft systems
• Coordinating with and managing electrical and avionics system suppliers in the development, integration, and testing of electrical/lighting subsystem components to include processor-based control units, software, high power electrical distribution and switching, and visible/InfraRed lighting
• System and software integration, requirements management, systems specifications, interface management, system safety assessment, validation and verification testing in systems integration labs, aircraft flight test, and aircraft/system qualification and certification.
• Development of test requirements to drive systems integration lab and flight test aircraft instrumentation design
• Perform hardware and software integration testing of multiple systems operating together in a systems integration lab
• Support all phases of development from design, qualification, integration testing, flight test, and production.
• Coordinating with teams from other disciplines including aerodynamics, propulsion, airframe structures, and rotors
• Model-based systems engineering to develop system architectures and define interfaces between components

Skills You Bring To this Role :

• Experience with creation of system specifications or electrical schematics

• Ability to perform avionics / electrical system testing in a systems integration lab

• Experience with avionics electrical interfaces including analog, digital, discrete I/O

• Ability to analyze and resolve hardware/software integration issues as they arise

• Familiarity with some of the following standards: RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, RTCA DO-178, RTCA DO-254, SAE ARP4754A, SAE ARP4761, 14 CFR Part 27 and Part 29 for commercial and military qualification and certification of aircraft systems

• Ability to work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams to define requirements, interfaces and design

• Familiarity with data protocols; ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN, Ethernet

• Familiarity with MBSE and SysML, Cameo Systems Modeler or similar

What you need to be successful:

• All levels and skill set with at least 2 years of systems development with electrical interfaces, specifications and schematics, or integration testing. Engineers with 10+ years' experience are preferred.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required: major in Electrical or Computer Engineering preferred. Related degrees with relevant experience will be considered. Advanced degrees will be considered as additional experience.

• We are looking for inquisitive and driven engineers with a passion to innovate.

What we offer you in return:

• You'll be off every other Friday with our 9/80 work schedule

• 80 hours of Personal Time Off (PTO)

• 120 hours Vacation time

• 12-13 paid holidays per year

• 6 weeks parental leave

• Tuition reimbursement

• Competitive salary

• Comprehensive health insurance

• On-site clinic, pharmacy, physical therapy, and licensed counselor

• Access to more than 11 Employee Resource Groups

• And so much more
