Power Electronics - Electrical Engineer I

Own a power electronics design that directly impacts X-BAT system performance and major flight test milestones, supported by a senior engineer who provides technical guidance and review.

Contribute to the full hardware lifecycle including concept development, modeling, worst-case analysis, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, bring-up, verification, integration, and flight test support.

Design and analyze low-voltage and high-voltage power systems including DC-DC converters, inverters, motor controllers, battery systems, power distribution, and protection circuits.

Design systems across power ranges from 10 kW high-power applications while balancing efficiency, thermal constraints, EMI/EMC performance, and reliability.

Partner with ECAD engineers on PCB layout for power density, thermal performance, EMI mitigation, and manufacturability.

Execute hands-on board bring-up, debug, root-cause analysis, and validation using oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and other test equipment.

Support environmental, stress, and qualification testing (HALT, vibration, temperature cycling) for aerospace-grade reliability.

Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Embedded, Software, Production, and Aircraft teams to ensure robust system integration and clear interface ownership.

Drive disciplined engineering practices including documentation, risk reduction, and closing the loop between analysis and test results.
