The opportunity
We are looking for a mid-to-senior Electrical Engineer to join our team in Costa Mesa, CA . In this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end avionics hardware development supporting advanced hypersonic and high-speed vehicles .
What you'll do
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline) with 4+: years of hands-on experience in board-level circuit design, analysis, and system integration.
Strong EE Fundamentals: Demonstrated expertise in analog and digital circuit design, component selection, tolerance analysis, and root-cause troubleshooting.
Power Electronics Experience: Proven experience designing power systems, DC-DC converters, switching power supplies, voltage regulators, and power management circuits.
PCB Design Lifecycle: Direct experience designing multi-layer, mixed-signal PCBs (schematic capture, component placement, stackup design, impedance control, grounding, and design for EMC/EMI).
Hands-on Lab & Test Skills: High competence using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) for hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and Design Verification Testing (DVT) .
System Interfaces & Bus Architectures: Familiarity with common interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, RS-422/485, UART).
What they're looking for
- Active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance.
- Experience designing electronics for space, missile, or hypersonic: environments (accounting for extreme vibration, thermal vacuum, and radiation-tolerant/rad-hard considerations).
- Experience with ECAD design tools such as Altium Designer .
- Experience designing high-reliability hardware in fast-iterating environments: (e.g., new-space, aerospace startups, or fast-paced defense programs).
- Understanding of battery management systems (BMS), high/low voltage power: distribution, and actuator/motor drive electronics.
