We’re in the earliest phase, where every circuit board and harness that leaves our facility is designed, built, and tested end-to-end by a small, dedicated team. Headquartered in the Northern Virginia / Washington, DC area and backed by world-class investors, we are advancing the next generation of clean energy technology.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring an Electrical Engineer to design, build, and test the electronics behind our flight and ground hardware. You’ll report directly to our lead electrical engineer and work daily with our mechanical, embedded software, and systems engineers.\nThis is a generalist seat. One week you’re capturing a schematic and bringing up a new board on the bench. The next, you’re holding a supplier to its statement of work and checking that what ships matches what we specified.\nThis is built for someone a few years into their career who has already put real hardware on a bench and wants a far bigger slice of the system than a large prime can offer. The role is onsite daily at our Ashburn Virginia facility.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and capture schematics for analog, digital, and power boards: sensors, data acquisition, power delivery, and the interfaces between them.\n\nSelect components, build BOMs, and see boards through fabrication and assembly.\n\nBring up new PCBs with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and bench supplies, then debug and characterize them against requirements.\n\nSupport systems engineering on requirements, architecture, and interfaces.\n\nDesign and document wire harnesses and interconnects: wire gauge, connectors, pinouts, and interface control documents (ICDs).\n\nManage electronics suppliers and contractors: review statements of work, track deliverables, and verify what arrives against spec.\n\nRun power budgets and first-pass thermal and EMI checks, applying derating and space-environment practices to every design.\n\nWrite test procedures and scripts that automate measurements and data analysis.\n\nDrive hardware anomalies to root cause and close out corrective actions.\n\nWrite complete design reports, ICDs, and test procedures, so the next engineer can pick up your work without a meeting.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For From You\nB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.\n\n2-5+ years of hands-on electrical hardware experience. Internships and co-ops count, as does a substantial hardware program such as CubeSat, Formula SAE, solar car, hybrid/EV, rocketry, or UAV teams.\n\nAt least one piece of hardware you designed, built, or tested end-to-end and can walk us through on a whiteboard.\n\nSolid fundamentals in analog and digital circuits, plus enough embedded experience to work with microcontrollers and common communication buses.\n\nSchematic capture experience in Altium, KiCad (preferred), or a similar tool.\n\nComfort on the bench with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies.\n\nSome experience working with an external supplier or contractor, even a single one on a single program.\n\nAbility to work onsite at our Northern Virginia facility.\n\nWe Have a Strong Preference For\nHardware that has flown, or a full program cycle in space, aerospace, UAV, or another high-reliability field.\n\nExposure to environmental testing: vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum.\n\nFamiliarity with circuit design in LTspice or related simulation platforms such as SIMetrix/SIMPLIS, PLECS, or Qspice\n\nPower electronics or battery system experience.\n\nWire harness design and fabrication.\n\nRange across mechanical, electrical, and embedded work.\n\nThe salary band for this position is $110,000 - $150,000 commensurate with experience. Individuals with demonstrated exceptional ability may be considered beyond this band.\nOur Benefits\nWe take care of our people. In addition to competitive salary and equity, Overview Energy offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage, a health and wellness stipend, 4 weeks paid time off, 2 weeks sick leave, parental leave, and 401(k) matching. Benefits are subject to change at the Company's discretion.\nITAR Requirements\nThis position is subject to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nOverview Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected status.\nIf you require a reasonable accommodation during the application process, please contact us at .\nResearch shows that women and individuals from underrepresented groups often only apply for roles where they meet every listed qualification. If you believe you can succeed in this role, we encourage you to apply - even if you don't check every box.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5450,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Insurance coverage","Life insurance","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Space Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T02:31:41Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/overview-energy-electrical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/overview-energy-electrical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T19:29:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2806,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687827},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687827"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foverview-energy-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Foverview-energy-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Foverview-energy-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/overview-energy-electrical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foverview-energy-electrical-engineer"}]}
