About the Role
Design and deliver real-time electronic control systems for hypersonic flight vehicles. This hands-on role owns flight-critical hardware from initial design through testing and integration, working closely with guidance, navigation and control, avionics, and flight software teams.
What You'll Do
Design control electronics boards, including motor controllers, actuator drivers, and feedback control circuits.
Own hardware end to end, from PCB design and bring-up through debugging, validation, integration, and production.
Develop microcontroller, microprocessor, and mixed-signal circuits for real-time processing and control.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate electronics with flight systems.
Define requirements and make technical decisions across the full hardware system.
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 or mixed-signal circuits for motor drives, power conversion, or precision control.
PCB design experience from schematic capture through layout. Altium is preferred.
Familiarity with ARM microcontrollers, embedded hardware, and CAN; experience with SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, DDR, FPGA, or embedded C is relevant.
Background in flight hardware or other high-reliability systems, such as aerospace, defense, or automotive, and experience in a fast-paced hardware environment.
