Garden Grove, United States Auriga Space Full time

About Us: Auriga Space is developing an electromagnetic space launch system that offers significant advantages in launch cost, reliability, frequency, and responsiveness compared to conventional systems.

  • Recently obtained a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (or equivalent field of study)
  • Fundamental knowledge of power electronics and electric machines
  • Experience in programming and using Microcontrollers/FPGAs
  • Strong comprehension of design fundamentals
  • Able to start working immediately
  • Willingness to work in a hands-on, constantly evolving environment
  • Detail-oriented and capable of effectively prioritizing and executing tasks
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills


Desired Qualifications:

  • MS with relevant coursework in power electronics, control systems, and electric machines
  • Applied engineering experience in power electronics (firmware and hardware)
  • Relevant experience (such as internships, laboratory work, or personal/team projects)
  • Significant experience with programming and using Microcontrollers/FPGAs
  • Experience with programing induction, brushless, and reluctance electric motor control as well as programming inverters and DC converters
