Electrical Power Engineer

Senior Electrical Power Engineer - Aerospace Power Electronics

Austin, Texas

If you're a senior-level Electrical Engineer who loves the technical challenge of power electronics but also wants real ownership of what you design, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

We're seeking an Electrical Power Engineer III to develop advanced power systems used in next-generation aerospace and defense applications, including UAVs, missile systems, actuation systems, turbo generators, micro-turbines, and hybrid-electric propulsion.

This is not a narrow design role.

You'll have hands-on ownership of new products from initial proposal and architecture through detailed design, prototype bring-up, qualification testing, and production support.

You'll work on sophisticated aerospace power technology including:

Motor controls and electromechanical systems

Power generation and distribution

DC-DC conversion

Active rectification

3-phase power systems

Turbo generators

Servo-actuation systems

Hybrid-electric propulsion

Embedded power electronics

You'll have significant influence over how these systems are designed and how future product lines evolve.

You'll take power electronics projects from concept through production, including:

Developing electrical power systems for advanced aerospace products

Evaluating customer requirements and developing system requirements

Creating power system models using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools

Designing 2+kW power conditioning and distribution systems

Designing motor controls, active rectification, DC-DC conversion, and 3-phase systems

Component selection and schematic capture

Simulation and PCB layout

Integrating sensors into closed-loop control systems

Supporting embedded firmware and software

Hands-on prototype bring-up and troubleshooting

Designing test stands, fixtures, and validation procedures

Performing verification and qualification testing

Supporting failure investigations and RCCA

Supporting products through manufacturing and production

Ideally, you'll bring:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering

8+ years of relevant power electronics experience

Strong motor control and electromechanical controls experience

Experience designing power conditioning and distribution systems of 2kW+

MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling experience

Experience troubleshooting embedded power electronic systems

Failure investigation and RCCA experience

Understanding of reliability analysis including MTBF and FTA

Experience with aerospace configuration management, AS9100 manufacturing environments, and embedded firmware is highly desirable.

A master's degree in Engineering is a plus.

You'll join an international engineering organization developing specialized technology for aerospace, defense, and transportation applications.

The products developed here aren't theoretical. They're being designed for demanding applications including UAVs, missile systems, electric actuation, advanced power generation, and hybrid-electric propulsion.

For an experienced power electronics engineer who wants technical depth, hands-on engineering, and ownership from concept through production, this is a rare opportunity.

The company offers an excellent benefits package including:

Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
