• Design flight control electronics including high‑power motor inverters, gate drives, power electronics, feedback/control circuits, microprocessors, FPGAs, firmware, and algorithms.
• Apply Model-Based Design tools and methods (MATLAB, Simulink, PSpice, first-order hand calculations).
• Ensure designs meet cost, reliability, schedule, and manufacturability objectives.
• Design electronics to meet EMI/EMC and environmental requirements.
• Lead Validation & Verification (V&V) efforts and oversee qualification testing.
• Define requirements for electronics test equipment and author development and qualification test procedures.
• Mentor and coach engineers across the electronics organization.
• Promote strong engineering processes, technical rigor, and continuous improvement.

Here’s what you'll typically bring with you:

• At least a BS in Electrical Engineering, MS preferred
• 10+ years of applicable circuit card design experience
• 5+ years of technical team leadership experience
• Experience in the design, analysis and development of closed loop motor drives.
• Leadership with strong organizational skills and a desire for continuous improvement.
• Preferably experience with requirement flow down, actuator controllers, sensor interfaces, commercial and military standards (RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810, and RTCA/DO-254 standards), Qualification, and Certification
