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. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary: $150,000 to $200,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. LOCATION On-site in Torrance, California.
