About the role

  • What You Need - B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace) or Physics.
  • Successful candidates will understand the value in rigorous testing and bring a safety-first focus to performance validation of electric powertrains.
  • We'll look to you to be methodical and rigorous so we can draw real insight from your test findings.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the architecture and design of powertrain test systems, ensuring seamless integration between high-voltage bus components, including engines, batteries (with onboard BMS), DC-to-DC converters, and actuators.
  • Interpret complex Interface Control Documents and board level circuit schematics to independently resolve technical integration challenges while strategically leveraging Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for final high-level alignment.
  • Lead the technical evaluation and testing of powertrain components, while managing critical supply chain and logistics functions to ensure hardware availability for the test program.
  • Familiarity with the principles of operations of battery and dynamometer systems, EMI mitigation, thermal management, and basic structural design in the context of load carrying test equipment are highly desired.
  • End to End Technical Responsibility: Deep understanding of electrical test equipment design and build including power switching topologies and high voltage systems considerations.
  • Ideal candidates will take end to end ownership of their hardware from design through material sourcing, build, and validation.
  • Deep understanding of electrical test equipment design and build including power switching topologies and high voltage systems considerations.

Requirements

  • A proven track record of integrating and debugging complex, safety critical electrical systems.
  • Own the end-to-end electrical and mechanical design of test enclosures and high-voltage harness systems required for flight-representative validation.
  • Systems Thinking: A proven track record of integrating and debugging complex, safety critical electrical systems.

Nice to have

  • Experience with aerospace or automotive high-voltage integration and certification standards such as DO-160 or ISO 26262.
  • Familiarity with IGBT gate drivers, solid-state relay control, and power switching topologies.
  • Experience with CAD tools for electrical layout and harness design.
  • Passion for aviation and electric propulsion.
  • Experience with high-voltage safety architectures.
  • Experience with software automation tools for test scripting and data acquisition (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB).
  • Please note that this job description is intended to provide a general overview of the position and does not include an exhaustive list of responsibilities and qualifications
  • Actual compensation offered will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Compensation

  • For this position, we are targeting a base pay range of $120,000 - $150,000.

Benefits

  • You'll help configure simulation environments, develop test system automation, debug communication systems, and establish protocols to monitor system health and validate data integrity across the powertrain.
  • Bonus Qualifications
