Job Description

Job Description:

• Develops high-reliability avionics, embedded computing, payload electronics, power distribution, and spacecraft systems for NASA, civil space, and defense missions.
• An exceptional Senior Power Electronics Design Engineer - a recognized technical leader with a proven record of designing power elements (DC/DC, Motor Control, power switches) for circuit cards for demanding aerospace applications.
• Ideal for a top-tier power design professional who combines deep technical expertise, speed and rigor in execution, and uncompromising attention to detail to deliver world-class, error-free designs that perform reliably in mission-critical environments.

• Architect and design high-reliability power electronics including DC-DC converters and related subsystems such as inverters, motor drives, or battery-management systems.
• Perform circuit design, simulation, component selection, schematic capture, and guide PCB layout, thermal, and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Lead hardware bring-up, integration, debug, verification, and qualification activities.
• Develop and review specifications, design reviews, test plans, and verification documentation.
• Solve complex technical issues using structured root-cause analysis.
• Provide technical mentorship and design guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ensure designs meet aerospace and defense reliability, environmental, and performance requirements.

• 8 years designing power electronics for aerospace, defense, industrial, or other high-reliability applications.
• Strong experience designing DC-DC power converters or closely related power conversion circuits.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (Cadence Allegro, Altium, or similar).
• Experience using simulation tools such as SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, Mathcad, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of power semiconductor devices. MOSFET experience required; IGBT, SiC, and GAN experience is beneficial.
• Experience supporting hardware through the full product lifecycle from architecture through qualification and production.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and technical leadership skills.

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.
• Experience developing electronics for harsh-environment or space applications.
• Experience with radiation-tolerant or radiation-hardened electronics.
• Experience with motor control, reliability analysis (FMEA/MTBF), or system integration.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical design reviews.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related discipline.
