HV Electrical Design Engineer - Safety Systems

Insight Global; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global is hiring an Electrical Design Engineer to design the high-voltage electronics inside our warhead systems: architecture that stores energy, the charge and discharge circuits that deliver it, and the safety architecture that keeps it contained until it is meant to function. You will take circuits from schematic through layout, bench test, and range test, and you will document them to a standard that survives military safety review.

This is a high-energy startup, not a 9-to-5 role.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering.
• Hands-on design with high-voltage circuits including charge and discharge.
• Experience designing safety architecture for high-energy electronics.
• Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium or KiCad.
• Bench testing with oscilloscopes, generators, power supplies, DMMs.
• Ability to work extended hours during test campaigns and deadlines.
• U.S. person able to obtain Secret clearance.

Responsibilities

• Design HV architecture for warhead electronics, including charging circuits, energy storage, and controlled discharge and bleed-down.
• Design the safety architecture around HV stages: isolation, interlocks, safe discharge paths, and protection against inadvertent function.
• Take designs from schematic and component selection through PCB layout review, prototype bring-up, and bench verification.
• Run analysis on margins, derating, creepage and clearance, and transient behavior, and document assumptions and results.
• Build and run bench and range tests with technicians and the test team, and turn the data into design changes.
• Write test procedures, test reports, and design records, and support safety reviews with the fuze safety lead.
