Job Summary

About the Role

This is a hands-on engineering role on a small high-velocity team building flight-critical real-time electronic control systems for advanced strike vehicles. You will personally own hardware from first schematic through bring-up integration and production not manage requirements from a distance. The work is high-impact and moves fast sitting at the intersection of avionics GNC and flight software.

What Youll Do
  • Design control electronics boards including motor controllers actuator drivers and feedback/control loops for current and future flight vehicles.
  • Own your hardware end-to-end: PCB design bring-up integration debug and production handoff.
  • Work with microcontrollers microprocessors and mixed-signal circuits with a focus on real-time control processing.
  • Collaborate closely with GNC avionics and flight software teams to ensure seamless system integration.
  • Define your own requirements and drive technical decisions independently without a dedicated systems engineering layer.
What Were Looking For
  • 3 or more years of hands-on design bring-up and debug of control or power electronics PCBAs such as motor controllers valve drivers or actuator electronics.
  • Analog and mixed-signal circuit design experience covering motor drivers power conversion or precision control loops.
  • PCB design proficiency from schematic capture through layout; Altium experience preferred.
  • Background at a fast-paced hardware company or high-velocity startup in aerospace defense automotive or robotics.
  • Familiarity with embedded hardware and microcontrollers including ARM MCUs CAN bus and related protocols.
  • Experience with flight hardware or high-reliability systems (aerospace defense or automotive) is a strong plus.
  • Comfort with simulation and modeling tools such as SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink.
  • BS MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible for a security clearance.
