Job Description

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with expertise in Power Electronics and Motor Control Systems to lead the design, analysis, and validation of electronic control assemblies for Brushless DC and induction motors. This role is critical to the advancement of next-generation aircraft cargo handling and actuation systems within our Aerospace programs.

• Technical lead for electronic circuit development, working cross-functionally with systems engineering, mechanical design, embedded software, manufacturing, and external certification to deliver compliant, robust, and manufacturable solutions
• Lead development of electronic system architectures and detailed circuit designs in accordance with customer requirements, RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD, and internal design standards
• Generate and maintain system specifications, detailed schematics, design analyses, and circuit justification reports to support design reviews, compliance audits, and airworthiness certification
• Develop and execute qualification, functional, and environmental test plans to verify design integrity and compliance
• Perform hardware/software integration, functional verification, and troubleshooting across prototype and production configurations
• Design for both low- and high-voltage aerospace applications, including 28 VDC, 270 VDC, and 115V–400Hz AC systems
• Apply deep knowledge of power stage design, gate drivers, protection circuitry, and motor control theory, including sensorless and Hall-effect-based commutation strategies
• Support thermal management and packaging solutions to meet harsh environmental conditions and mission duration requirements
• Utilize electronic design tools: Altium Designer, PSPICE, and MATLAB/Simulink for schematic capture, simulation, and analysis
• Collaborate with embedded software developers and system engineers to define control interfaces, communication protocols (CAN bus, RS-485), and diagnostics
• Ensure compliance with IPC-A-610 Class 3 and other aerospace quality and workmanship standards
• Participate in formal design reviews, configuration control processes, and risk assessments in accordance with AS9100

??????? What you need to qualify:

• 10+ years' hands-on electronics design and validation, ideally within an AS9100 environment
• Bachelor’s Degree, Electrical Engineering (emphasis on Power Electronics preferred); Master’s Degree with defense/aerospace experience a plus
• Expertise in motor drive design, including control of BLDC and/or induction motors for aerospace or defense application
• Proven experience supporting product certification, compliance testing, and technical documentation in regulated industries
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to lead root cause investigations and implement effective corrective actions
• Proficiency with PSPICE, Altium Designer, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or equivalent tools
• Familiarity with embedded firmware (C/C++) and DSP/FPGA integration is preferred
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation strategies and aerospace standards (DO-160, MIL-STD-461, -704, -1275)
• Willingness to travel occasionally to support program reviews, testing, and supplier integration activities
• Demonstrated accountability, ownership of schedules, and strong attention to detail in documentation.

What's in it for you:

• Competitive salary
• Excellent benefits
• Matching 401k plan
• Tuition reimbursement
• Work for an established and growing company with an entrepreneurial spirit!
