Job description
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.
