Electrical Engineer, Avionics Design

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Complete PCB design cycle, which includes gathering requirements, schematic design, component selection, overseeing or finalizing layout, bringing up systems, testing, debugging, and system integration.

• Execute bring-up and design tasks on microcontrollers, ensuring smooth integration within the overall system.

• Diagnose challenges that intersect electrical and software domains, employing lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools.

• Operate in a dynamic environment that supports new developments, deployments, and hardware operated by customers.

• Carry out power design, which encompasses the development and integration of power management systems and components.

• Design payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking).

• Generate system interconnect diagrams and specify wire harnesses that link electronic equipment within a subsystem.

• Collaborate closely with other teams, including electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and testing engineers, to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products.

• Conduct peer-level and interdisciplinary design reviews.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, along with 3+ years of experience in designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs.

• Proficient in conducting power system and electrical loading analysis, simulation, and testing to identify optimal solutions.

• Strong capability in using lab testing equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) and familiarity with thermal and EMI test chambers, as well as basic software debugging tools.

• Knowledge of common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB).

• Excellent organizational and communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.

• Experience in power design and power management systems.

• Practical experience with microcontrollers, including bring-up and design efforts.

• Understanding of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.

• Experience in designing mixed-signal PCBs with various layer counts, layer stackup, and impedance matching for power and sensor applications, with a grasp of correct grounding techniques and application of proper board protections and filtering.

• Comprehension of low voltage and high voltage power electronics and control systems to accurately create system interconnect diagrams and direct cable harnessing designs with appropriate wire and connector selection.

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance with various plan options to meet your needs.

• Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) along with 10 paid holidays.

• 100% company-paid short-term and long-term disability insurance.

• 100% company-paid life insurance.

• 401k Employer Match of 50% (dollar-for-dollar) of an eligible employee's contribution, up to 6% of your salary.

• Pet Insurance available.

• Opportunities for Professional Growth, including trainings/workshops, certifications, and career planning.

• Fully remote work environment (WFH).
