Senior Power Electronics Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a small avionics team designing and integrating 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 PCB assemblies, including motor controllers, DC-DC converters, inverters, power switches, and power distribution systems. - Own the 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 power buses. - Support ground systems power electronics as needed alongside flight hardware development. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3 to 15 years of hands-on power electronics design experience, including motor controllers, inverters, DC-DC converters, or power distribution PCB assemblies. - A bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in electrical engineering or a related field. - PCB design experience using Altium or an equivalent tool, with ownership from design through production. - Experience bringing up and validating hardware, with direct circuit design or debugging responsibilities. - Familiarity with SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink, plus high-voltage systems and EMI/EMC considerations. - Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or another high-reliability hardware environment is valuable. - Must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder and eligible for a security clearance.
