Senior Power Electronics Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a hands-on avionics team designing and developing power systems for hypersonic flight vehicles. You will own critical hardware subsystems from initial design through validation and production integration.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design power electronics PCBAs, including motor controllers, DC-DC converters, inverters, power switches, and power distribution systems.
• Own the full hardware lifecycle, from schematic design through bring-up, debugging, validation, and production integration.
• Define subsystem requirements and develop power-system designs in the context of the overall vehicle.
• Develop high-voltage and high-current systems for actuators, power filtering, and mission-critical avionics, including power bus sizing.
• Support power electronics development for ground systems as needed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Three to 15 years of power electronics design experience, including motor controllers, DC-DC converters, or power distribution PCBAs.
• A BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Hands-on experience designing and debugging circuit boards through bring-up and validation, with ownership extending through production.
• Experience with Altium or an equivalent PCB design tool, plus circuit simulation using SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Knowledge of high-voltage systems, inverters, and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or another hardware-intensive environment; flight hardware or high-reliability systems experience is relevant.
• U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and eligibility to obtain a security clearance.
