The Senior Electrical Systems Engineer serves as a technical leader for high-reliability digital power conversion and electric drive systems within the Thermal Management Systems group. This role involves owning system-level requirements flow-down, leading architecture and detailed design for DC/DC conversion hardware, and managing verification and validation of aerospace applications. Key responsibilities include designing PCBs and schematics, defining insulation coordination for high-voltage systems, and executing environmental and performance tests such as DO160 and MIL-STD-461. The engineer will utilize tools including Mentor Graphics, Altium, MATLAB/Simulink, LTSpice, PSIM, PSCAD, IBM DOORS, JIRA, and Confluence. The position addresses complex aerospace problems involving high-voltage power conversion, motor drive systems, and integrated electrical and thermal solutions for high-reliability hardware, ensuring robust, compliant, and safe performance in demanding environments.
Own system-level requirements flow-down by decomposing customer needs into testable hardware and firmware requirements.
Lead the architecture and detailed design of digital power conversion, including DC/DC stages and gate drives.
Plan and execute verification and validation tests for environmental, functional, and performance conditions.
Define and validate insulation coordination and high-voltage design rules for converters and drive systems.
Design and review PCBs and schematics for power stages and sensing modules using industry-standard tools.
Lead high-voltage testing and qualification activities, including partial discharge and insulation tests.
Develop and improve automated test benches and lab infrastructure for digital power testing.
Contribute to proposals, trade studies, and technology roadmaps for thermal management systems.
What we're looking for
Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with an emphasis in power electronics, power conversion, or electric drives.
15+ years of experience in electrical engineering and electrical systems engineering focusing on power electronics, digital power conversion, and/or electric drive systems.
Proven experience leading the design, verification, and validation of power conversion hardware and associated control electronics for aerospace or similar applications.
Experience with high-voltage systems, insulation coordination, and high-voltage testing and qualification activities.
Ability to work across cross-functional technical teams to manage technical scope, schedule, and risk.
Proficiency in PCB and schematic design using industry-standard tools like Mentor Graphics or Altium (preferred).
Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, LTSpice, PSIM, or PSCAD (preferred).
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee) to access export-controlled information.
