Senior Mixed‑Signal Power Systems Engineer (Aerospace)

Sub Max:

Pay Rate: $ to $100.00

Duration: (6 Months contract to hire)

Shift: 9/80

Our mission

Power systems are the heartbeat of every mission. Join us to craft converters and control electronics that energize spacecraft and propel vehicles across land, sea, air, and space—spanning tens of Watts to hundreds of kilowatts.

Your impact
  • Translate ambitious requirements into robust power, analog, high‑voltage analog, mixed‑signal, and digital designs.
  • Drive architecture, detailed analysis, worst‑case analysis, simulation, and PCB layout oversight to turn concepts into hardware.
  • Lead first‑power‑on, verification, integration, and hands‑on troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, electronic loads, and more.
  • Partner with systems, software, mechanical, test, and program management through proposals, feasibility studies, design, test, production, and sustainment.
  • Elevate the team by mentoring early‑career engineers and communicating clearly with all stakeholders.
What you bring
  • Depth in DC‑DC converter design and development, plus broader power conversion expertise.
  • Proficiency with LTspice/PSpice and MATLAB/Simulink (or equivalents).
  • Fluency in Altium Designer, Mentor Graphics (or equivalent) and experience overseeing board layout.
  • Avionics and electrical/electronic systems background; skilled with schematics, PCB components and assembly, CAD, and equipment installation/wiring.
  • Analytical mindset with proven problem‑solving chops and strong written/verbal communication.
Experience/Education
  • Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience; or Graduate Degree and at least 7 years related; or 13+ years related experience without a degree.
  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years relevant; Graduate Degree and minimum 4 years related; or 10+ years related experience without a degree.
  • BSEE/MSEE preferred.
Essential functions
  • Design circuits from the ground up—architecture through simulation and layout oversight.
  • Execute bring‑up and detailed verification to ensure designs meet intent.
  • Support production to achieve quality builds and on‑time deliveries.
Schedule and terms
  • Shift: 9/80
  • Duration: (6 Months contract to hire)
  • Pay Rate: $ to $100.00
  • Sub Max:
Compliance
  • U.S. Citizenship only, no dual citizenship
  • Secret Clearance not required for start. May need later on and manager would like candidate to have ability to obtain clearance
Why you’ll thrive here

Own challenging designs, collaborate across expert teams, and see your hardware ship. This role includes a path from contract to hire for those who excel.
