Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 23, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 19, 2026.
About the Role
Join a small, hands-on engineering team developing real-time control electronics for advanced flight vehicles. You will own flight-critical hardware from initial design through integration and production, working closely with avionics, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), and flight software teams.
What You'll Do
Design control electronics boards, including motor controllers, actuator drivers, and feedback and control loops.
Own PCB design, hardware bring-up, debugging, validation, integration, and production readiness.
Develop microcontroller, microprocessor, and mixed-signal circuits for real-time processing and control.
Define hardware requirements and make technical decisions in collaboration with partner engineering teams.
What We're Looking For
Three to 15 years of experience designing control or power electronics hardware, including motor drivers or actuator controllers.
A bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
Hands-on experience designing, bringing up, and debugging control or power electronics PCB assemblies, including analog and mixed-signal circuits.
PCB schematic capture and layout experience, preferably with Altium, and familiarity with SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, ARM microcontrollers, CAN, DDR, FPGA, and embedded C.
Experience in a fast-paced hardware environment and, ideally, flight hardware or other high-reliability aerospace, defense, or automotive systems.
U.S. citizenship and eligibility for security clearance are required.
