  • Develop clear and comprehensive schematics for power electronics boards pertinent to hybrid electric aircraft systems.
  • Select components that balance mass reduction with reliability and efficiency, suitable for hybrid electric propulsion applications.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and aerospace engineers to optimize the placement of high-power modules/components and bus bars for efficient integration within hybrid electric propulsion systems.
  • Draft detailed requirements, participate in DFMEAs, and implement test and validation plans tailored to hybrid electric propulsion systems.
  • Maintain start-to-finish ownership of hardware, ensuring that specifications, design, prototyping, and manufacturing align with hybrid propulsion system requirements.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, with a focus on hybrid or electric propulsion systems preferred.
  • Minimum of 4+ years (with BS) or 2+ years (with MS) of experience in power electronics related to aerospace applications.
  • Strong foundation in EE, with extensive experience in power electronics design for hybrid electric propulsion systems.
  • In-depth understanding of inverter technology, motor control, and power conversion tailored to the unique requirements of hybrid electric aircraft.
  • Proficiency in schematic capture and circuit simulation software, such as Altium Designer, with experience in high-power inverter design (50kW-200kW at 400V-1000V).
  • Experience in design and analysis of electric propulsion systems, including thermal management, power distribution, and system integration.
  • Hands-on experience with DO-160G testing, DO-254 development, and other relevant aerospace standards.
  • Expertise in lab instruments critical for hybrid propulsion system development, such as oscilloscopes and EMC analyzers.
  • Superior communication and organizational skills, with the ability to work in fast-paced, interdisciplinary teams.

We're based out of the Los Angeles/Long Beach area, and this will be an onsite position. If you're passionate about innovation and ready to take on a challenging yet exciting opportunity, we encourage you to apply.
