LAT Aerospace Aircraft

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.

The Power Electronics Engineer role is a hands-on one spanning power conversion power distribution motor control embedded hardware and high-power electrical systems. You will take hardware from architecture and schematic design through PCB development fabrication testing and integration.

• Design and develop power electronics for hybrid-electric powertrains including rectifiers power distribution board PCUs DC-DC converters motor controllers/ESCs and associated power boards.

• Develop schematics PCB layouts power stages gate drives sensing protection and control interfaces.

• Design and optimize power distribution architecture across generators batteries motors and electrical loads.

• Perform component selection electrical sizing thermal analysis failure mode identification and derating for aerospace applications.

• Develop simulation models for converters motor drives power distribution and system-level electrical architecture for appropriate software in loop simulations.

• Lead prototype development including board bring-up debugging characterization hardware validation and integration.

• Design and implement protection isolation grounding current/voltage sensing fault detection and safety mechanisms.

• Develop test setups and instrumentation for power electronics characterization and system validation.

• Diagnose hardware failures and drive rapid design iterations based on test results.

• Document designs test procedures validation results and engineering decisions.

• 4 years of professional experience in aerospace EV industrial or other high-performance electrical systems.

• Postgraduate degree in Electrical Engineering Power Electronics or a related field is preferred

• Strong fundamentals in power conversion rectification switching circuits and inverter systems.

• Hands-on experience designing and debugging power electronics hardware from schematic through working prototypes.

• Experience with rectifiers DC-DC converters inverters motor controllers/ESCs or power distribution systems.

• Experience with power semiconductor devices gate drives magnetics current/voltage sensing and thermal management.

• Strong PCB design experience including multilayer boards and high-current/high-frequency layouts.

• Experience with simulation tools such as PLECS LTspice PSIM MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent.

• Familiarity with HV/LV safety isolation grounding protection EMI/EMC and electrical fault handling.

• Comfortable working directly with high-power hardware oscilloscopes power analyzers power supplies and other test equipment.

• No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.

• Rapid hardware iteration culture.

• Own the complete journey from engineering design to flight-ready hardware.
