Job description
About the Role
Join a small avionics team designing power systems and electronics for hypersonic flight vehicles. You will own critical hardware subsystems from initial design through testing 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 hardware development from schematic design through bring-up, debugging, validation, and production integration.
Define subsystem requirements and develop power-system designs within the broader vehicle architecture.
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.
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.
