We are looking for a Senior Control Electronics Engineer with 3+ years of experience to design and deliver real-time electronic control systems for advanced flight vehicles. You'll be a hands-on engineer who personally owns hardware from design through bring-up, debug, validation, and integration - not someone who manages requirements from the sidelines. This is a high-impact role on a small, elite team building flight-critical systems at one of the fastest-moving defense companies in the country. If you have 3+ years from a top-tier startup and are exceptional, we want to talk to you too.
What will you be doing?
Designing control electronics boards (motor controllers, actuator drivers, feedback/control loops) for current and future flight vehicles
Owning your hardware end-to-end - from PCB design through bring-up, integration, debug, and production
Working with microcontrollers, microprocessors, and mixed-signal circuits with a focus on processing and real-time control
Collaborating closely with GNC, avionics, and flight software teams to ensure seamless system integration
Defining your own requirements and driving technical decisions - there are no systems engineers here, you own the full picture
- 3-15 years of experience in control/power electronics hardware design, including motor drivers or actuator controllers
- Hands-on design, bring-up, and debug of control/power electronics PCBAs (motor controllers, valve drivers, or actuator electronics)
- Experience at a fast-paced startup or high-velocity hardware company (e.g., SpaceX, Anduril, Relativity, automotive/robotics startups)
- Flight hardware or high-reliability systems experience (aerospace, defense, automotive)
- Analog/mixed-signal circuit design for motor drivers, power conversion, or precision control loops
- PCB design experience (Altium preferred); schematic capture through layout
- Familiarity with microcontrollers/embedded hardware (ARM, MCUs, CAN)
- Strong fundamentals in electrical hardware engineering
- Experience with design to production processes, including bring-up and validation
- Key areas: power electronics, digital/high-speed hardware, mixed signal/analog, RF, PCB design
- Tools: Altium, embedded hardware (MCUs, ARM)
- Experience in high-impact startups or competitive companies
- Strong ownership of projects and demonstrated practical application of skills
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
