About this role

We are looking for a Senior Control Electronics Engineer with 3+ years of experience to design and deliver real-time electronic control systems for hypersonic strike vehicles. You'll be a hands-on engineer who personally owns hardware from design through bring-up, debug, validation, and integration — not someone who manages requirements from the sidelines. This is a high-impact role on a small, elite team building flight-critical systems at one of the fastest-moving defense companies in the country. If you have 3+ years from a top-tier startup and are exceptional, we want to talk to you too.

What will you be doing?

Designing control electronics boards (motor controllers, actuator drivers, feedback/control loops) for current and future flight vehicles

Owning your hardware end-to-end — from PCB design through bring-up, integration, debug, and production

Working with microcontrollers, microprocessors, and mixed-signal circuits with a focus on processing and real-time control

Collaborating closely with GNC, avionics, and flight software teams to ensure seamless system integration

Defining your own requirements and driving technical decisions — there are no systems engineers here, you own the full picture

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

A meeting lands on your calendar

When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.

Culture & values

Company is fully on-site, 5 days per week

Team composed of engineers from high-velocity hardware companies including SpaceX alumni, defense tech startups, and automotive manufacturing

Team members are people who have built things from scratch and thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Transitioning from prototype development to scalable production, indicating a dynamic and evolving work environment
