Power Electronics - Principal Electrical Engineer (R4822)

Own flight critical power system design for X-BAT

Design power electronics for the high voltage and low voltage systems. This includes inverters, DC-DC converters, battery management, and other power electronics

Lead others to execute design, verification, and manufacturing deployment

Provide mentorship and technical feedback to others on the power team and cross-functionally

Harden the designs for harsh environments such as shock/vibe, high reliability, radiation, and high-altitude

Work on power sub-systems and designs for both low power (10 kW)

Full-cycle hardware development: Own the entire flow — concept, modeling, worst case analysis, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, design reiteration for improving design maturity, testing and validation

PCB ownership: Drive PCB layout and design with ECAD engineers, optimizing for power density, EMI, thermal, and manufacturability

Design for Safety, Manufacturability and Reliability: Design robust systems keeping in mind best practices for safety, manufacturing and reliability

Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical, CAD, Embedded, Software, Supply Chain, Test Automation, Production and various aircraft teams throughout the product lifecycle

Design review leadership: Lead and contribute to cross-functional reviews ensuring robust, high-integrity engineering decisions. Mentor junior engineers that support your design

Program execution: Manage project timelines, deliverables, and technical milestones to drive on-time, high-quality outcomes
