Principal Electrical Engineer

ABOUT THE JOB!

Lead the development of advanced power and data management architectures for head borne systems. You’ll work at the intersection of high-bandwidth, low-latency video distribution for enhanced night vision devices and next-generation smart battery pack design — shaping the electrical backbone of our helmet-mounted platforms to ensure efficient power delivery, robust data pathways, and seamless integration across mission-critical technologies.

You’ll own new product development, execute roadmap architectures, drive continuous improvements, mentor engineers, and shape best practices across the facility.
