About the role

Lead Electrical Architect role focused on defining and shaping electrical architecture for expeditionary AI/HPC data centers, bridging systems engineering and electrical design to deliver air-transportable, rugged, deployable, and scalable infrastructure integrated with Lattice OS for AI/ML at the tactical edge.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers
  • Conduct architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability
  • Bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements, architectures and functional modules
  • Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible
  • Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening
  • Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements
  • Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures
  • Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments
  • Drive systems from concept through production at scale, working across hardware, software, supply chain, and program teams
  • Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols
  • Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
  • Proven ability to think strategically and define the long-term architectural vision for a product line
  • Familiarity with embedded systems hardware, including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, and their architectural implications
  • Experience with full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, including PCBA design through the entire lifecycle
  • Experience with harnessing design and connector selection
  • Successful track record of releasing products to production and delivering to end-users at scale
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills to work across diverse engineering disciplines
  • Experience leading cross functional teams on complex electronics projects
  • U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required)
  • Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time
