Senior Control Electronics Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 11, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026.
About the Role
Join a small, fast-moving defense engineering team developing flight-critical control electronics for advanced flight vehicles. You will own hardware from initial design through testing and integration, working closely with avionics, guidance, navigation and control, and flight software teams.
What You'll Do
Design control electronics boards, including motor controllers, actuator drivers, and feedback and control-loop circuits.
Own hardware through PCB design, bring-up, debugging, validation, integration, and production.
Work with microcontrollers, microprocessors, and mixed-signal circuits for real-time processing and control.
Collaborate with guidance, navigation and control, avionics, and flight software teams to integrate systems.
Define requirements and make technical decisions across the hardware lifecycle.
What We're Looking For
Three to fifteen 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.
Experience with analog and mixed-signal circuits for motor drivers, power conversion, or precision control loops.
PCB design experience from schematic capture through layout, preferably using Altium.
Familiarity with ARM microcontrollers, embedded hardware, CAN, and tools such as SPICE or MATLAB/Simulink; experience with FPGA or DDR is useful.
Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other high-reliability systems, and experience in a fast-paced hardware environment.
U.S. citizenship and eligibility for security clearance are required. Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $150,000 to $200,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
