Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on power electronics.
• 15+ years in electrical systems and power electronics for aerospace.
• Proven experience with architecture, verification, and validation of power systems.
• Experience with high‑voltage insulation coordination and HV testing.
• Ability to work across cross-functional teams and manage scope and risk.

Responsibilities

• Own system‑level requirements flow‑down for digital power conversion hardware, decomposing customer and system requirements into clear, testable hardware and firmware requirements, and ensuring traceability throughout the design lifecycle.
• Lead architecture and detailed design of digital power conversion, including DC/DC stages, gate drives, protection circuits, sensing chains, and control electronics, with emphasis on high‑voltage and high‑power aerospace applications.
• Plan and execute verification and validation of digital power conversion hardware and systems, including procedure authorship, lab setup, and execution of environmental, functional, and performance tests.
• Define and validate insulation coordination and HV design rules, including creepage/clearance and high‑voltage practices for converters and drive systems operating at several kilovolts, to meet aerospace safety and reliability expectations.
• Design and Review PCBs and schematics for power stages, gate drivers, control boards, and sensing modules using industry‑standard tools (e.g., Mentor Graphics, Altium), collaborating with layout, mechanical, and systems teams to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
• Lead high‑voltage testing and qualification activities, including partial discharge (corona) tests and insulation tests at altitude and ground level, using results to drive design improvements and ensure long‑term reliability.
• Work with AI&T to develop and improve automated test benches and lab infrastructure for digital power testing, including scripting and automation where appropriate, and act as a champion for lab safety, structured test procedures, and safe operation at high voltage and high power.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to early career engineers and peers in power converter design, HV test, and system integration, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, structured problem solving, and respect for people.
• Contribute to proposals, trade studies, and technology roadmaps for TMS control systems, digital power systems, including evaluation of new topologies, devices, and architectures.
