Job description

Electrical Engineer – Power & High-Voltage Systems

• Full-time

A venture-backed defense technology company is developing rugged, edge-deployed directed-energy platforms for counter-unmanned aerial systems. This is a hands‑on role focused on designing and validating battery and high‑voltage power electronics that move quickly from prototype to field deployment.

Key Responsibilities

Design high-voltage DC/DC converters, diode drivers, rectifiers, inverters, and power distribution/control circuits.

Perform electrical simulations using SPICE or MATLAB/Simulink to optimize efficiency and reliability.

Develop embedded and mixed-signal electronics integrating microcontrollers and FPGAs for telemetry, protection, and fault handling.

Design and validate battery management and rapid-discharge power systems with strong thermal considerations.

Create rugged wire harnesses and select connectors/cabling for high-power environments.

Drive hands-on prototyping, bring‑up, and environmental/vibration/shock testing.

Conduct DFM reviews and collaborate with suppliers to ensure manufacturability and quality.

Produce schematics, BOMs, and wiring documentation while ensuring compliance with safety and export regulations.

Partner with mechanical, optical, and controls teams for full system integration.

Required Qualifications

2–5 years of experience in electrical or power electronics engineering (aerospace, defense, robotics, or similar).

Proficiency with Altium Designer, SPICE, and/or MATLAB/Simulink.

Experience with high-voltage electronics, battery management systems, and diode driver circuits.

Hands‑on experience with rugged electronics assembly and integration.

Familiarity with thermal management and EMI/EMC considerations.

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.

Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.

Nice to Have

Experience deploying hardware in harsh or remote environments.

Familiarity with MIL-STD specifications and export compliance.

EMI/EMC shielding and mitigation experience.

Active or obtainable security clearance.

Work Environment

Fast-paced, hardware-focused engineering culture with frequent lab and field testing and close cross-disciplinary collaboration.
