Company Description
At Icarus, we build solar-powered birds that fly at the edge of space for a very long time. Our mission is to dominate the stratosphere with autonomous platforms that deliver real-time intelligence and connectivity. This is not a place for spectators. We move fast, we test in Mojave at 4 in the morning, and we hold ourselves to an obsession with quality and speed. If you want to work on hardware that actually flies and flies where few machines can survive, this is the place.
Role Description
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will own the design, integration, and testing of critical flight electronics. From high-efficiency power systems and custom lithium-ion battery packs to avionics, RF links, and controls, you will take ideas from whiteboard to stratospheric flight. You will architect hardware, design PCBs, bring them up in the lab, debug relentlessly, and see your designs fly.
This role is hands-on and fast-paced. You will:
- Design, build, and test high-voltage and low-voltage power electronics for flight systems.
- Architect, layout, and validate PCBs for avionics, controls, and RF payloads.
- Work with embedded systems, sensors, and communication links to integrate full avionics stacks.
- Own end-to-end hardware from schematics through assembly and environmental testing.
- Troubleshoot and iterate rapidly, closing the loop between lab, field test, and Mojave flights.
- Mentor and lead junior engineers while setting the standard for technical excellence.
No hand-holding. No fluff. No fake projects. Just raw engineering with flight on the line. You must thrive under pressure, figure things out without being told how, and push hardware to the limits. We expect results. We expect ownership.
If you want real responsibility, real hardware, and real flight milestones, this is it.
Key Characteristics We're Looking For:
- First Principles: Truth seeking from fundamentals
- Mission Driven: Win or be forgotten
- Relentless Iteration: Radical transparency & idea meritocracy
Compensation and Benefits:
- $120,000 to $160,000 salary
- Large equity in the company
- Best-in-class healthcare, dental and vision plan, and HSA plan
- PTO of 2 weeks to reset and recharge
- World class office located in El Segundo, filled with the best talent in the industry
- Your dream desk setup, including tools and whatever else you need to be your most productive self
- Daily lunch and unlimited Celcius
