JOB-1888
A well-funded aerospace and defense company is expanding a compact avionics group where engineers get their hands on the hardware themselves. The opening is for a power electronics specialist who will be responsible for significant vehicle subsystems, carrying designs from first concept to production integration. A defense résumé is not a prerequisite; strong circuit designers from automotive, robotics, aerospace or other hardware-heavy fields are welcome.
Your focus
- Design power electronics boards such as inverters, DC-DC converters, motor controllers, load switches and distribution systems
- Own each design through schematic capture, bring-up, debugging, validation and production rollout
- Write the requirements yourself and shape the overall power architecture, since there is no separate systems group
- Work on high-voltage, high-current power for actuators, filtering and bus sizing in mission-critical avionics
- Possibly support ground-system power electronics next to flight hardware
What you bring
- Three or more years of hands-on power electronics PCBA design, taken through bring-up and validation
- PCB layout in Altium or a comparable tool, and a degree in electrical engineering or related
- High ownership: you personally design and debug rather than oversee
- Nice to have: circuit simulation (SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink) and high-reliability or flight hardware background
- US citizenship, with eligibility for a security clearance
On-site in Los Angeles. No visa sponsorship available.
