Electrical Design Engineer, High Voltage

Required Skills & Experience

• BS in Electrical or Electronics Engineering. Military experience is welcome but does not substitute for the degree.
• Hands-on design experience with high-voltage circuits, including charge and discharge circuits.
• Experience designing safety architecture for high-energy or safety-critical electronics.
• Schematic capture and PCB layout review in Altium, KiCad, or a comparable tool.
• Hands-on at the bench: comfortable with oscilloscopes, function generators, power supplies, DMMs, and soldering and rework.
• Clear technical writing; documentation will take roughly 30 to 40 percent of your time.
• Availability for extended hours and weekend work during test campaigns and program deadlines.

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

• Experience with capacitive discharge firing sets, EFI or LEEFI firing circuits, or pulsed-power systems.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-1316, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-810.
• Circuit simulation in SPICE or LTspice.
• Personal electronics or engineering projects outside of work.

Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a High Voltage Electrical Design Engineer to join a cutting-edge startup in Cedar Creek, Texas. In this role, you will:

• Design high-voltage architecture for warhead electronics, including charging circuits, energy storage, and controlled discharge and bleed-down.
• Design the safety architecture around high-voltage stages: isolation, interlocks, safe discharge paths, and protection against inadvertent function.
• Take designs from schematic and component selection through PCB layout review, prototype bring-up, and bench verification.
• Run analysis on margins, derating, creepage and clearance, and transient behavior, and document assumptions and results.
• Build and run bench and range tests with technicians and the test team and turn the data into design changes.
• Write test procedures, test reports, and design records, and support safety reviews with the fuze safety lead.
