Electrical Engineering- Senior

Aerospace is at a turning point — costs are rising, supply chains are strained, and old ways of building can't keep up. At Neon Aero, we're breaking that mold. We move fast, think big, and combine start-up agility with aerospace expertise to design, build, and scale aircraft in ways the industry has never seen. Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production.
Here, you won't just take a job — you'll help reinvent how the world flies. If you're ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact.
You'll lead the design and integration of complex electrical and electromechanical systems that power next-generation products—spanning actuator drives, power electronics, avionics communication, energy management, and other high-performance technologies.
This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of architecture and execution—someone who can translate requirements into robust, manufacturable, certifiable hardware and drive it from concept to production release and shipment. You'll be a technical anchor for production-intent electrical hardware—helping teams move faster without sacrificing reliability, safety, or manufacturability.
Own electrical subsystems end-to-end—from concept, through validation, to production release.
Design and develop power electronics, embedded digital, and mixed-signal hardware using industry-standard ECAD tools (Altium, Cadence, or equivalent).
Architect and implement communication bus physical layers (CAN and other aviation buses) for fault-tolerant, certifiable avionics data communication.
Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to support prototype builds, first-article inspections, and production ramp.
Perform electrical analysis (SPICE simulation, power-stage evaluation, signal integrity, thermal interaction with mechanical systems, EMI mitigation).
Participate in design reviews to ensure system-level performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost targets are met.
Minimum of 8 years of experience in developing and shipping complex electronic hardware.
Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field preferred; Demonstrated experience taking electronic assemblies into production and shipping hardware.
Power electronics and motor drives
Embedded digital and microcontroller-based systems
Communication bus physical layers (CAN, RS-485, ARINC, or similar)

Experience working directly with suppliers/CMs to industrialize boards and resolve yield, test coverage, tolerance, and quality issues.
Solid understanding of manufacturing test strategies (ICT, functional test development, fixture design, environmental qualification, SPC).
Engineers who ship—not just design.
Ability to balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
Background in fast-iteration, high-performance industries (automotive, consumer hardware, racing, robotics, etc.).
MATLAB, Python, or scripting for analysis, automation, or test development.
Work alongside elite engineering talent and innovators from across aerospace and tech.
Competitive compensation, including equity participation, growth opportunities, and full health benefits (health, vision, dental, 401K) designed to support you in and out of work.
Final compensation will be based on role scope, experience, skills, internal equity and location. This role may also be eligible for bonus/equity/benefits, if applicable. $We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
