About the position

The Electrical Engineer position at TRU Simulation + Training is designed for a highly motivated, hands-on, self-driven individual who thrives in a dynamic prototyping environment. The ideal candidate will bring a fresh perspective to the design team and possess a strong desire for innovation. This role requires an Electrical Engineer with a broad technical knowledge base to support the development and design of all facets of the flight simulator platform. The successful candidate will engage in various tasks, including researching, designing, evaluating, installing, operating, and maintaining electrical systems and processes that support both new and existing commercial and military aircraft flight simulator trainers. In this role, the Electrical Engineer will be responsible for altering and modifying designs to meet specified functional and operational performance requirements. Collaboration with peers and stakeholders is essential to implement new designs, resolve system operation errors, and establish effective procedures. The engineer will create new electrical design documentation, including cable drawings, parts lists, wire lists, system prints, operation manuals, and maintenance manuals. Additionally, overseeing the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of designs is crucial to ensure that equipment and systems are installed and functioning according to specifications. The position also involves creating and presenting design engineering data for internal and customer design reviews, researching and analyzing data such as customer design proposals, specifications, and manuals to determine the feasibility of design or application. Establishing and coordinating maintenance and safety procedures, service schedules, and the supply of materials required to maintain equipment and systems in prescribed condition is another key responsibility. The Electrical Engineer will assist with cost estimation and preparation of contract documents, write performance requirements for product development or engineering projects, and keep current on future technologies and products to determine where and how such products can be incorporated into designs.
