• Develop vehicle-level power architectures supporting batteries, motor drives, power conversion, energy storage, charging interfaces, and mission-critical loads 

• Lead design efforts addressing motor-driven loads, regenerative braking energy management, transient suppression, back-EMF protection, and power quality 

• Perform trade studies and technical evaluations balancing performance, reliability, safety, mass, schedule, and cost 

• Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, systems, and harnessing teams to ensure robust electrical system integration 

• Perform PCB layout with attention to creepage, clearance, EMI/EMC performance, thermal management, high-current routing, and manufacturability 

• Develop analyses supporting power budgets, efficiency, thermal performance, fault response, derating, and system reliability 

• Support hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, verification testing, EMI/EMC testing, environmental testing, and vehicle integration activities 

• Define electrical requirements and verification approaches for high-voltage and high-power subsystems 

• Interface with suppliers and partners on power electronics, energy storage systems, motors, electromechanical devices, and related hardware 

• Provide technical leadership during system design reviews, flight readiness reviews, customer reviews, and technical interchange meetings 

• Mentor electrical engineers across the organization and help establish best practices for high-voltage power system development 

Required Qualifications: 

• Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field 

• Minimum of 12 years of professional experience designing high-voltage or high-power electrical systems 

• Demonstrated experience developing power electronics, power distribution systems, motor control systems, electric vehicles, aerospace power systems, industrial power systems, or other safety-critical electrical hardware 

• Strong experience with electrical system architecture, schematic design, and hardware development for power applications 

• Hands-on experience designing systems operating at 100VDC or greater 

• Experience with high-current power distribution, protection schemes, fault detection, isolation, and power switching devices 

• Working knowledge of motor-driven systems, regenerative braking, back-EMF effects, transient protection, and energy management 

• Experience performing hardware integration, root-cause analysis, and troubleshooting of complex electrical systems 

• Proficiency with Altium Designer 

• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC principles and mitigation techniques for high-power systems 

• Ability to independently lead highly complex technical efforts and make sound engineering decisions 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills 

• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced development environment 
• U.S. Person 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline 

• Experience designing aerospace, spaceflight, electric vehicle, or other mission-critical electrical power systems 

• Experience with NASA human-rated systems, or Class A flight hardware 

• Experience in part selection, EEE part grade levels, and part qualification campaigns 

• Experience designing hardware operating in harsh environments including vacuum, radiation, thermal extremes, and vibration 

• Experience supporting qualification, environmental testing, and flight certification activities 

• Familiarity with aerospace and NASA electrical design standards 

• Prior experience in an aerospace startup or agile commercial space organization 

• Experience with batteries, battery management systems, power conversion systems, or electrified vehicle architectures 

• Experience supporting the development of high-voltage systems for mobile, transportation, aerospace, or off-road vehicle applications 

Compensation & Benefits: Compensation level and base salary are competitively structured and thoughtfully determined based on factors such as relevant skills, experience, education, and the scope of the role.

• Comprehensive health coverage: Medical, dental, and vision benefits, with 70% of premiums covered by the employer
• Paid time off: Three (3) weeks per year of vacation
• Retirement plan: Up to 4% employer match on 401(k) contributions
• Paid holidays: 11 company-recognized holidays
• Parental leave
• Educational reimbursement opportunities to support company objectives, continued learning, and career development
