Senior Control Electronics Engineer

About the Role

Design and deliver real-time electronic control systems for flight vehicles in the defense and aerospace sector. This hands-on role owns hardware from initial design through bring-up, validation, and integration, working closely with guidance, navigation and control, avionics, and flight software teams.

What You'll Do

• Design control electronics boards, including motor controllers, actuator drivers, and feedback and control circuits.

• Own hardware development end to end, from PCB design through bring-up, debugging, integration, and production.

• Develop microcontroller, microprocessor, and mixed-signal circuitry for real-time processing and control.

• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate hardware with vehicle systems.

• Define requirements and make technical decisions across the hardware design.

What We're Looking For

• Three to 15 years of experience designing control or power electronics hardware, including motor drivers or actuator controllers.

• A bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in electrical engineering or a related field.

• Hands-on experience designing, bringing up, and debugging control or power electronics PCB assemblies.

• Experience with analog and mixed-signal circuits for motor drivers, power conversion, or precision control loops.

• PCB design skills from schematic capture through layout; Altium experience is preferred.

• Familiarity with SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, ARM microcontrollers, CAN, DDR, FPGA, and embedded C.

• Background in flight hardware or other high-reliability systems, such as aerospace, defense, or automotive, and experience in a fast-paced hardware environment.

• U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a security clearance. Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
