The Resilient Connectivity Products (RCP) Hardware Technologies team is seeking a driven, creative Power Electrical Engineer II 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 Power Electrical Engineer II, you will apply a thorough understanding of power supply control schemes and power supply topologies (buck, boost, flyback, forward, resonant, PFC, etc.) 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.

Ensure adherence to aerospace standards and mission assurance expectations.

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.

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 2 years of prior relevant experience oran Advanced Degree in a related field

The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.  U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications We Prefer:

Experience across a range of power levels and switching frequencies in DC/DC and AC/DC power conversion.

Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Familiarity with digital control, complex topologies such as…
