Every day in the U.S., people make 35 million trips of 50-500 miles, stuck in traffic or routed through crowded hubs. Chances are, you've been one of them. At Electra, we're changing that with the EL9, a nine-passenger, hybrid-electric aircraft that takes off and lands in just 150 feet. Our Ultra Short technology opens up thousands of new places to fly, beyond conventional runways, congested airports and long drives. We're backed by Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and Safran. Operators worldwide have signed intent-to-purchase agreements for the first 2,200 aircraft we produce, and we're moving toward first test flights in 2027.\nGetting a new kind of aircraft airborne takes more than ambition. It takes our kind of bold: people who think big while working in the real world. Who move ideas into action and collaborate without silos. Who put people first and make room at the table for everyone. Who challenge one another without diminishing one another.\nSound like you? Then look beyond what you thought were your own limits, and help us take flight beyond runways.\nWhat You'll Do\nSupport the design, analysis, integration, and testing of aircraft electrical systems\nContribute to the development of electrical system architectures, requirements, and interface definitions\nSupport electrical systems across multiple aircraft domains, including low-voltage and high-voltage power distribution, avionics and mission systems, power electronics, electrical energy storage systems, and electric motors and related equipment\nPerform trade studies and engineering analyses to support system design decisions\nDevelop, manage, and verify system requirements to meet safety, certification, performance, and program objectives\nSupport supplier selection, technical evaluations, and integration efforts\nCreate and maintain engineering documentation, including requirements, interface definitions, test plans, and design artifacts\nParticipate in design reviews and technical assessments\nSupport laboratory, ground, and flight-test integration activities\nTroubleshoot electrical system issues and recommend corrective actions\nCollaborate with multidisciplinary teams including propulsion, avionics, systems, structures, manufacturing, and flight test\nSupport certification and compliance activities as required\nContribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes and practices\nPerform other duties as assigned\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor's degree and 5+ years (Staff) or 8+ years (Senior) of relevant experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience\nExperience developing aerospace, aviation, defense, automotive, energy, or other complex electrical systems\nKnowledge of electrical system design, integration, and testing methodologies\nExperience creating and managing technical requirements and interface definitions\nFamiliarity with electrical schematic development and electrical system analysis\nExperience using electrical test and troubleshooting equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, data acquisition equipment)\nStrong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work effectively across internal teams and external partners\nLeveling Expectations\nFinal leveling (Staff or Senior) will be determined based on the candidate's experience, education, demonstrated skills, and degree of independence and autonomy appropriate for the role.\nBoth levels require a strong foundation in engineering principles and the ability to solve complex technical problems. Differentiation between levels is based on degree of ownership, autonomy, and influence.\nStaff Engineer (5+ years): Experienced with frequent application of technical standards, principles, and theories; works under general supervision to solve technical problems of moderate scope and complexity; executes defined scope of work with growing independence; contributes to system integration, supplier coordination, and technical problem-solving\nSenior Engineer (8+ years): Demonstrates a complete understanding and wide application of engineering principles, theories, and concepts; works under limited direction to solve a wide range of complex technical problems; independently determines and develops approaches to solutions; owns technical scope such as supplier oversight, integration activities, and compliance efforts; drives issue resolution and collaborates effectively with minimal guidance\nBonus Points\nExperience with aircraft electrical systems and avionics\nExperience with hybrid-electric propulsion systems\nKnowledge of FAA Part 23 certification requirements\nFamiliarity with ARP4754, ARP4761, DO-160, or related aerospace standards\nExperience with power electronics, batteries, electric motors, or energy storage systems\nExperience supporting system integration and flight-test programs\nProficiency with modeling, simulation, or electrical analysis tools\nExperience working within a fast-paced product development environment\nCompensation\n$109,000.00-159,000.00 annually. This range reflects the anticipated hiring range across all eligible locations; actual compensation is determined based on your relevant experience, skills, and geographic location.
