Job summary

Allocor.tech is a fast-scaling aerospace startup building mission-critical power electronics and avionics for unmanned platforms. The Mid-Level Electrical Engineer will own detailed hardware design for an 800V inverter program in a fast-moving environment, with ownership from concept to bring-up and rigorous documentation.

You will collaborate with firmware and mechanical teams, drive design reviews, and help establish standards and processes to scale the product line while protecting speed and

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required (MSEE a plus).
• 3–6 years of hands-on power electronics design experience (400V+ HV inverter/converter).
• Proficient in schematic capture and simulation tools (Altium, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Experience performing WCCA on safety-critical/high-reliability circuits.
• Solid background in PCB design for HV and mixed-signal systems, including impedance control, creepage/clearance, and thermal management.
• Experience with EMI/EMC design techniques and pre-compliance testing.

Responsibilities

• Design high-voltage power electronics circuits for the 800V inverter program, including topology selection, component derating, protection schemes, and power/thermal optimization.
• Perform Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) and SPICE simulations for safety-critical circuits, producing clear, review-ready documentation.
• Design mixed-signal systems with attention to noise isolation, signal integrity, creepage/clearance, and thermal management.
• Support and execute impedance-controlled PCB layouts and high-speed signal integrity analysis for multi-layer power electronics boards.
• Drive hardware-software integration for motor controller platforms, working with firmware engineers on register configuration, timing, and control loops.
• Participate in and help run design reviews (schematic, layout, WCCA) and present clear trade studies to engineering leadership.
• Support prototype bring-up, bench testing, and qualification testing.
• Build and maintain design files, simulation models, and test reports in our engineering document control system.
