We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of todays mission and stay ahead of tomorrows threat. Our team solves tough meaningful problems that create a safer more secure world.

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Power Electronics Engineer (P3) to join our multidisciplinary engineering team supporting advanced aerospace and defense programs. The P3 engineer will serve as a key technical contributor responsible for leading the design development analysis verification and integration of power conversion hardware across a wide range of applications including airborne platforms space systems radar and nextgeneration power architectures. This role is ideal for midcareer engineers who are ready to take ownership of complex subassemblies drive technical decisions and mentor junior engineers while delivering highperformance highreliability power solutions.

What You Will Do

• Lead the design and development of power electronics hardware including AC/DC and DC/DC converters motor/servo drives PFC stages filters and complete power system architectures.
• Own circuitlevel and subsystemlevel designs performing schematic creation component selection and guiding PCB layout for highdensity and highreliability power boards.
• Perform advanced engineering analysis including SPICE/PLECS simulation worstcase analysis derating reliability modeling and detailed thermal/electromagnetic evaluations.
• Develop and validate custom magnetics designs providing electrical models core/winding selections and optimization for size efficiency and thermal performance.
• Drive adoption of advanced devices including SiC and GaN power semiconductors; develop gatedriver strategies protection schemes and highfrequency architectures.
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance through modeling design techniques and testing aligned with MIL STD and aerospace requirements; provide recommendations for layout and filtering.
• Lead hands-on engineering activities including prototype bringup debugging characterization and formal validation of power hardware.
• Develop comprehensive test plans procedures and verification documentation ensuring technical rigor across development stages from breadboard to qualification.
• Collaborate crossfunctionally with systems digital design mechanical/thermal engineering manufacturing and integration teams to ensure cohesive subsystem performance.
• Contribute to and maintain system requirements traceability design artifacts and engineering documentation in accordance with review and compliance processes.
