TL;DR · Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineer As a Staff Power Systems Engineer, you will join the team to own vehicle system-level electrical power analyses and architecture for aircraft programs. You will lead critical technical tasks including Electrical Loads Analysis, Emergency Mode Analysis, Battery Sizing, and Bus Integrity while driving the power architecture roadmap for new aircraft and future variants. Your daily work involves developing integration-level test plans, verification procedures, and validation criteria for power distribution systems. You will perform circuit modeling using LTspice, SIMPLIS, or Multi-Spice to ensure designs comply with military standards such as MIL-STD-464, 461, 810, and 1760. Additionally, you will conduct SWaP trade studies and FMEA to optimize performance for autonomous airframes. This role addresses the complex challenge of integrating high-voltage battery technologies into large air-vehicle power distribution systems within a defense context.
