About the Role

We need an Electrical Engineer to own a wide surface area of electromechanical hardware, moving across power, embedded control, wire harnesses, and integration work wherever the team needs horsepower. This is a force multiplier position on a small team building a weapon system from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Design and build high-voltage DC/DC converters, rectifiers, inverters, and diode driver electronics (48V+ systems)
• Architect and validate battery management systems from safe charge/discharge, thermal management, to fault protection for high-voltage battery packs
• Build ruggedized wire harnesses for high-power laser and motor systems (connector selection, routing, environmental protection)
• Drive hands-on prototyping, assembly, and field testing of power electronic systems on our range
• Design embedded control electronics like microcontrollers, FPGAs, sensing, telemetry, and fault handling
• Perform electrical simulations (SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink) to optimize performance before building
• Conduct DFM reviews and work directly with fabricators to get designs into production
• Integrate electronics with mechanical, optical, and robotics subsystems
• Generate schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and documentation meeting MIL-STD and ITAR requirements

Requirements

• 2–5+ years working across electrical hardware from power, embedded, to systems integration
• Hands-on experience with 48V+ systems, including building and testing high-voltage circuits
• Comfortable with embedded control electronics like microcontrollers, sensing, telemetry, and fault handling
• Experience designing and fabricating wire harnesses for real systems
• Experience with multi-layer PCB design, IC selection, and on-board thermal management
• Proficient in Altium Designer, SPICE, and MATLAB/Simulink
• Broad curiosity and ability to debug hardware and read schematics
• Experience likely from Robotics labs, EV companies, aerospace hardware teams, defense programs, or Formula SAE Electric
• Must have physically built and tested hardware above 48V
