Job description

About the company

Our client is a defense and aerospace manufacturing company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the electrical power hardware for high-performance flight vehicles, carrying boards from first concept through testing and into production. This is a hands-on position with end-to-end responsibility for important subsystems inside a small electrical engineering group.

What you'll do

- Create circuit boards that convert, switch, regulate and distribute electrical power for flight vehicles.

- Take responsibility for each design across its whole life, from early schematics to lab testing, troubleshooting, verification and handoff to manufacturing.

- Set your own technical requirements and shape the broader power architecture with the full vehicle in mind.

- Size and develop high-voltage, high-current power paths that drive actuation and feed critical electronics.

- Lend support to ground-based power equipment when needed, in parallel with flight hardware work.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 3+ years of hands-on experience designing power electronics boards and taking them through lab bring-up and verification.

- A bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering or a closely related discipline.

- Solid background in motor drive, power conversion and power distribution circuit design.

- Working knowledge of Altium or a comparable PCB layout tool.

- Comfort using simulation software to model and validate circuit behavior.

- Experience with flight-grade or other high-reliability hardware in aerospace, defense or automotive settings.

- A history in fast-moving startup or high-ownership teams.

- Proven record of personally driving hardware from design to production instead of only overseeing requirements.

- U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a security clearance.

- Based in or willing to relocate to the Los Angeles area.
