About the role

Senior Electrical Engineer based in Costa Mesa, CA to develop and test cutting edge electronics for avionics propulsion systems, including propulsion flight controllers, power electronics, motor controllers, and electromagnetic actuators.

Responsibilities

  • Full Cycle PCB Design: Translate system-level propulsion requirements into robust designs. Perform schematic capture and high-density PCB layouts (with a strong preference for Altium), component selection, bring-up, test, debug, and integration with the propulsion system.
  • Engine System Electronics: Design and optimize flight controller circuits, power distribution/supplies, motor controller circuits, and electromagnetic actuator circuits.
  • Rigorous Analysis: Conduct circuit simulations, worst-case analysis (WCA), thermal analysis, DFMEA, and component derating to ensure reliability under extreme vibration and temperature environments.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Lead board bring-ups, Design Verification Testing (DVT), qualification (Qual) testing, and functional testing.
  • Collaborative Design: Provide electrical support and collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, test, quality, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams for development.
  • Peer Reviews: Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Perform root cause and failure analysis in support of engine test and field operations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) with 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs.
  • Solid engineering fundamentals across Analog, Digital, and Power Electronics.
  • Deep proficiency with electronic design tools, specifically Altium Designer (or equivalent for schematic and layout) and LTSpice (or equivalent for circuit simulation).
  • Competence with laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, spectrum analyzers, function generators, DMMs, electronic loads, power supplies, and test automation.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet) and common MCU/CPU architectures.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Benefits

  • Top-tier benefits for full-time employees; comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees)
