JOB TITLE: Electrical Design Engineer, Hypersonic, Air Dominance and Strike As a mid-to-senior Electrical Engineer, you will join the team to lead end-to-end avionics hardware development for advanced hypersonic and high-speed vehicles. You will own critical electrical subsystems, managing the full lifecycle from architecture and schematic capture through board bring-up, Design Verification Testing, and vehicle-level integration. Your daily work involves designing multi-layer, mixed-signal PCBs, power electronics like DC-DC converters and voltage regulators, and complex power management circuits. You will utilize tools such as Altium Designer and standard lab equipment including oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Key technical requirements include expertise in analog and digital circuit design, tolerance analysis, and bus architectures like CAN, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet. This role solves hardware challenges for extreme vibration, thermal vacuum, and radiation-tolerant environments in aerospace applications.
