About this role
We are looking for a Senior Power Electronics Engineer with 3+ years of experience to design and own power systems and power electronics boards for hypersonic flight vehicles. You'll join a small, elite avionics team where engineers personally make hardware work — not just manage requirements or provide oversight. This is a high-impact role where you'll own meaningful subsystems on the vehicle, from initial design through bring-up, debug, validation, and integration into production. Defense experience is not required — we value hands-on circuit design talent from aerospace, automotive, robotics, or any hardware-rich environment.
What will you be doing?
Designing power electronics PCBAs including motor controllers, DC-DC converters, inverters, power switches, and power distribution systems for current and future flight vehicles
Owning the full lifecycle of your hardware — from schematic design through bring-up, debug, validation, and production integration
Defining your own requirements and figuring out the overall power system story in a system context (no separate systems engineers — you own it end-to-end)
Working on high voltage and high current power systems for actuators, power filtering, and power bus sizing for mission-critical avionics
Potentially supporting ground systems power electronics alongside flight hardware development
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
