TL;DR · Staff Power Systems Engineer

The Staff Power Systems Engineer joins the team to own vehicle system-level electrical power analyses and architecture for aircraft. This role involves leading technical analyses including Electrical Loads Analysis, Emergency Mode Analysis, Battery Sizing, and Bus Integrity to ensure mission and flight requirements are met. The engineer will shape the electrical architecture roadmap for the Fury platform and future vehicle variants by developing integration-level test plans and verification procedures. Key responsibilities include executing Size, Weight, and Power trade studies and Failure Modes and Effects Analyses. The position requires expertise in large air-vehicle power distribution systems using simulation tools like LTspice, SIMPLIS, and Multi-Spice. Candidates must ensure designs comply with military standards including MIL-STD-464, 461, 810, and 1760 while resolving complex integration challenges for autonomous airframes.

What you'll do

  • Own vehicle system-level electrical power analyses including ELA, battery sizing, and bus integrity.
  • Shape the electrical architecture trade studies and technical power roadmap for the Fury platform.
  • Develop vehicle integration-level test plans, verification procedures, and validation criteria for power distribution.
  • Ensure all power system designs comply with military standards including MIL-STD-464, 461, 810, and 1760.
  • Execute SWaP trade studies and Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA) to optimize performance.
  • Perform circuit and power system modeling using simulation tools like LTspice and SIMPLIS.
  • Support ground and flight test campaigns by reviewing telemetry data and diagnosing anomalies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle- or aircraft-level electrical power distribution systems and systems integration.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading Electrical Loads Analysis (ELA), battery sizing, and power budget calculations for complex aerospace or high-power platforms.
  • Proficiency in electrical simulation and modeling software such as LTspice, SIMPLIS, or Multi-Spice.
  • Working knowledge of military standards including MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-1760.
  • Experience conducting SWaP trade studies and FMEA at the vehicle or subsystem level.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States and eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD Secret security clearance.
  • Active U.S. DoD Secret clearance (or higher) (preferred).
