WHAT YOU’LL DO * Lead Programs & Architecture: Oversee power electronics and power conversion programs from concept through production. You will guide the development of motor controllers, DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, and smart power distribution systems for defense platforms. * Project Management: Create, maintain, and communicate detailed product development schedules to ensure all assigned team members are aligned on tasks, hardware spins, and testing deadlines. * System Design: Design high-reliability, efficient, power-dense, thermally optimized, and fault-tolerant power system architectures. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define vehicle power requirements and write design verification test plans. * HIL & System Verification: Verify power system performance, efficiency, thermal margins, transient responses, and protection features (over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit) on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups or flight-representative systems. * Hardware Evaluation: Utilize advanced evaluation methodologies, including automated efficiency mapping, thermal imaging, power quality testing, and dynamic load profiling. * Full-Cycle PCB & LRU Design: Drive high-power PCB and Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) design. This includes requirements gathering, schematic design, component selection (wide-bandgap semiconductors like SiC/GaN, custom magnetics, bulk capacitors), gate driver design, layout supervision (optimizing for parasitic inductance and EMI), bring-up, and system integration. * Cabling & Interconnects: Develop power distribution interconnect diagrams and define high-voltage/high-current cabling, shielding, connectors, and busbars connecting energy sources to power electronics and payloads. * Supply Chain & Vendor Collaboration: Manage successful fabrication, assembly, and BOMs for power hardware, collaborating closely with custom magnetic, power semiconductor, connector, and thermal management vendors. * Vendor Relations: Maintain familiarity with aerospace/automotive-grade power electronics component suppliers and manufacturers. * Platform Integration: Integrate power electronics (e.g., electronic speed controllers, battery management systems, power conditioning units) into UAVs, UGVs, or maritime systems. * Firmware Support: Support software and firmware teams in developing digital control loops (DSP/MCU-based converter control), state-machine logic, telemetry reporting, and power-up sequences. * Trade-Off Studies: Represent the power subsystem in platform-level, cross-disciplinary trade-off studies (such as SWaP-C, voltage level selection, and thermal dissipation architectures) to optimize overall vehicle performance and range. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS * Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent. * Experience: 7+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex power electronics circuits, switching power supplies (buck, boost, flyback, resonant topologies), and motor drives in a high-reliability aerospace, defense, or electric vehicle (EV) context. * Standards Expertise: Deep understanding of power quality and EMI standards, specifically MIL-STD-704 (aircraft electrical power characteristics) and MIL-STD-461 (requirements for the control of electromagnetic interference). * Test Equipment Proficiency: Competence with high-power test equipment such as high-voltage power supplies, electronic loads, power analyzers, differential probes, thermal chambers, and test automation. * EMI Mitigation: Practical experience in design for EMI mitigation, low-parasitic layouts, gate drive optimization, and high-frequency switching performance. * Communication Interfaces: Familiarity with standard interfaces used in power systems (CAN, PMBus, I2C, SPI, RS-485). * Digital Control: Familiarity with DSPs, microcontrollers, or FPGAs commonly used for digital control of power supplies (e.g., TI C2000, STM32). * EDA Tools: Proficiency with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation (EDA) design tools. * Simulation Software: Experience with power simulation tools such as PLECS, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, or Simplis. * Software/Coding: Knowledgeable in Python (for test automation) and C/C++ (for firmware understanding/debugging). * Security Clearance: Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Advanced Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Power Electronics. * Advanced Tech & Safety: Experience with wide-bandgap (SiC, GaN) semiconductor technology, high-voltage safety design practices (touch-safe standards, creepage/clearance), and thermal management of high-power-density systems. * Aerospace & Environmental Standards: * Familiarity with DO-160 (specifically Section 16 for Power Input and Section 21 for RF Emissions). * Familiarity with DO-254 and DO-311A (for rechargeable lithium battery systems). * Familiarity with MIL-STD-810 (environmental engineering considerations).
