Job description
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.
Compensation & Benefits
Annual salary range: $150,000 to $200,000. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in Torrance, California.
