The Resilient Connectivity Products(RCP) Hardware Technologies team is seeking a driven, creative Senior Electrical/Power Engineer to help shape the future of secure, high‑speed communication systems across ground, airborne, and space platforms. In this role, you’ll directly influence mission‑critical hardware powering advanced software-defined radios, high‑bandwidth data links, and resilient communication networks operating in some of the world’s toughest environments.

You’ll join a collaborative team building state‑of‑the‑art power electronics—closed‑loop power supplies, EMI filters, high‑efficiency conversion stages—and guide designs from concept through qualification. This hands‑on role spans power conversion systems, magnetics, EMI mitigation, and PFC solutions, offering opportunities to innovate at every stage of the hardware lifecycle.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will apply deep expertise in switching converters, magnetics, control loops, manufacturability, and testability to deliver high‑reliability aerospace hardware. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional partners and influence pursuits, design, integration, verification, and factory transition.

Potential Onsite Locations:
• Cedar Rapids, IA
• Fort Wayne, INSign-on Bonus Eligible

What You Will Do:

Lead the design and development of power electronics hardware including DC/DC and AC/DC converters, motor controllers, and power supplies.

Perform circuit analysis, modeling, simulation, and component selection aligned to system requirements.

Generate engineering documentation: requirements, design descriptions, schematics, BOMs, and test plans.

Support integration, verification, validation, and qualification testing new and existing designs.

Partner closely with Systems, Mechanical, Software, Manufacturing and Digital Hardware teams throughout the product lifecycle.

Diagnose and solve issues related to power conversion performance, reliability, EMI/EMC, and thermal behavior.

Ensure adherence to aerospace standards and mission assurance expectations.

Mentor junior engineers and support a culture of technical excellence.

Qualifications You Must Have:

Hands-on design expertise with power supply topologies (buck, boost, flyback, forward, resonant, PFC, etc.).Strong understanding of power supply control schemes, including differences between peak current mode and voltage mode control, with the ability to design appropriate compensation, place poles/zeros, and evaluate converter stability.

Thorough understanding of EMC/EMI requirements, associated mitigation techniques, and designing power systems to meet regulatory standards.

Experience in schematic capture and PCB design for power supplies.  Ability to perform power electronics simulations.

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience oran Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience
