What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an electrical power engineering technologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Electrical Power Engineering Technologist, you need a solid background in electrical theory, power systems, circuit analysis, and typically an associate or bachelor's degree in electrical engineering technology. Familiarity with CAD software, SCADA systems, and electrical testing equipment, as well as certifications like CET (Certified Engineering Technologist), are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities help you excel in this role. These competencies are crucial for ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation and maintenance of electrical power systems.

What is the difference between Electrical Power Engineering Technology vs Electrical Engineering?

AspectElectrical Power Engineering TechnologyElectrical Engineering
CredentialsAssociate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Power Engineering TechnologyBachelor's or higher in Electrical Engineering
Work EnvironmentPower plants, substations, fieldwork, industrial settingsDesign offices, research labs, project planning
Job FocusPractical application, installation, maintenance of power systemsTheoretical analysis, system design, innovation

Electrical Power Engineering Technology professionals focus on practical skills related to power systems, including installation and maintenance, often working directly in the field. Electrical Engineers typically engage in designing and analyzing electrical systems, emphasizing theoretical knowledge and innovation. Both roles are essential in the power industry but differ in scope and focus.

Job description

Senior Electrical Power Engineer Aerospace Power Electronics

Austin, Texas


Design the Power Systems Behind Next-Generation Aerospace Technology

If you're a senior-level Electrical Engineer who loves the technical challenge of power electronics but also wants real ownership of what you design, this is an opportunity worth exploring.


We're seeking an Electrical Power Engineer III to develop advanced power systems used in next-generation aerospace and defense applications, including UAVs, missile systems, actuation systems, turbo generators, micro-turbines, and hybrid-electric propulsion.


This is not a narrow design role.


You'll have hands-on ownership of new products from initial proposal and architecture through detailed design, prototype bring-up, qualification testing, and production support.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You'll work on sophisticated aerospace power technology including:




  • Motor controls and electromechanical systems




  • Power generation and distribution




  • DC-DC conversion




  • Active rectification




  • 3-phase power systems




  • Turbo generators




  • Servo-actuation systems




  • Hybrid-electric propulsion




  • Embedded power electronics




You'll have significant influence over how these systems are designed and how future product lines evolve.


What You'll Be Doing

You'll take power electronics projects from concept through production, including:




  • Developing electrical power systems for advanced aerospace products




  • Evaluating customer requirements and developing system requirements




  • Creating power system models using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools




  • Designing 2+kW power conditioning and distribution systems




  • Designing motor controls, active rectification, DC-DC conversion, and 3-phase systems




  • Component selection and schematic capture




  • Simulation and PCB layout




  • Integrating sensors into closed-loop control systems




  • Supporting embedded firmware and software




  • Hands-on prototype bring-up and troubleshooting




  • Designing test stands, fixtures, and validation procedures




  • Performing verification and qualification testing




  • Supporting failure investigations and RCCA




  • Supporting products through manufacturing and production




What We're Looking For

Ideally, you'll bring:




  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering




  • 8+ years of relevant power electronics experience




  • Strong motor control and electromechanical controls experience




  • Experience designing power conditioning and distribution systems of 2kW+




  • Power electronics hardware design experience




  • MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling experience




  • Experience troubleshooting embedded power electronic systems




  • Failure investigation and RCCA experience




  • Understanding of reliability analysis including MTBF and FTA




Experience with aerospace configuration management, AS9100 manufacturing environments, and embedded firmware is highly desirable.


A master's degree in Engineering is a plus.


Work on Technology That Actually Flies

You'll join an international engineering organization developing specialized technology for aerospace, defense, and transportation applications.


The products developed here aren't theoretical. They're being designed for demanding applications including UAVs, missile systems, electric actuation, advanced power generation, and hybrid-electric propulsion.


For an experienced power electronics engineer who wants technical depth, hands-on engineering, and ownership from concept through production, this is a rare opportunity.


Compensation & Benefits

The company offers an excellent benefits package including:




  • Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance




  • 401(k) match




  • Company-paid holidays




  • Paid Time Off




  • 9/80 work schedule
