About the role

Electrical Engineer based in Costa Mesa, CA to develop and test cutting edge electronics for avionics propulsion systems, including propulsion flight controllers, power electronics, high-efficiency motor controllers, and electromagnetic actuators. Responsible for electrical design, analysis, test, and integration from concept to production, vendor management, and ensuring performance, thermal management, and reliability.

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, Computer Engineering, Physics, or Robotics, with 0–7+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs. Recent graduates with technical internship or standout leadership experience (FSAE/EV, UAVs, robotics, avionics, or similar) are welcome to apply.
  • Solid engineering fundamentals across Analog, Digital, and Power Electronics.
  • Deep proficiency with electronic design tools, specifically Altium Designer (or equivalent) and LTSpice (or equivalent).
  • 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 CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet interfaces and common MCU/CPU architectures.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
