- Design high-voltage and high-current systems for actuators, power filtering, and avionics power buses.
- Support power electronics development for ground systems as needed.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Three to fifteen years of experience designing power electronics, such as motor controllers, DC-DC converters, or power distribution PCBAs.
- A BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Hands-on experience taking hardware through design, bring-up, debugging, validation, and production.
- PCB design experience using Altium or an equivalent tool, plus familiarity with SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink.
- Experience with high-voltage systems, inverters, EMI/EMC, and flight hardware or other high-reliability systems in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics.
