Senior Power Electronics Engineer

About the Role

Join a small avionics team developing power systems and electronics for hypersonic flight vehicles. You will own hardware subsystems from initial design through validation and production integration, with hands-on responsibility for making flight hardware work.

What You'll Do

• Design power electronics PCBAs, including motor controllers, DC-DC converters, inverters, power switches, and power distribution systems.

• Take hardware through schematic design, bring-up, debugging, validation, and production integration.

• Define subsystem requirements and develop power system designs that work within the broader vehicle architecture.

• Design high-voltage and high-current systems for actuators, power filtering, and mission-critical avionics.

• Support ground-system power electronics as needed alongside flight hardware development.

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 15 years of experience designing power electronics, 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, bringing up, debugging, and validating power electronics hardware, with ownership through production.

• PCB design experience with Altium or an equivalent tool, plus familiarity with SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink.

• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or another hardware-intensive environment; flight hardware or high-reliability systems experience is useful.

• Ability to work in the United States as a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder, and eligibility to obtain a security clearance.
