About the role
- You won't specialize in one subsystem, you'll move across power, embedded control, wire harnesses, and integration work, wherever the team needs horsepower.
- That means you're soldering prototypes one day, pulling harnesses the next, and helping integrate subsystems on the range the week after.
Responsibilities
- Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS.
- We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.
- In addition to our San Francisco lab, we've opened a Detroit manufacturing hub and we field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range.
- Design and build high-voltage DC/DC converters, rectifiers, inverters, and diode driver electronics (48V+ systems)
- Architect and validate battery management systems from safe charge/discharge, thermal management, to fault protection for high-voltage battery packs
- Build ruggedized wire harnesses for high-power laser and motor systems (connector selection, routing, environmental protection)
- Drive hands-on prototyping, assembly, and field testing of power electronic systems on our range
- Design embedded control electronics like microcontrollers, FPGAs, sensing, telemetry, and fault handling
Requirements
- 2-5+ years working across electrical hardware from power, embedded, to systems integration
- Hands-on experience with 48V+ systems.
- Experience with laser diode driving or directed energy power systems
- Familiarity with MIL-STD standards and ITAR compliance
- Experience with long-duration system deployment in harsh environments
- Active security clearance or ability to obtain one
Compensation
- Competitive salary + equity
Benefits
- Competitive salary + equity
- United Health Care medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible 18 days PTO + 5 sick days
- E-bike / scooter stipend ( Up to $500)
Company info
- Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.
- We're a small team of engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system.
- Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate - small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.

- The Role & Your Impact:
- We need an Electrical Engineer who can own a wide surface area of electromechanical hardware.
- This isn't a narrow role.
- It's a force multiplier position on a small team building a weapon system from scratch.
- What You'll Own:
- Perform electrical simulations (SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink) to optimize performance before you build
- Conduct DFM reviews and work directly with fabricators to get designs into production
- Integrate electronics with mechanical, optical, and robotics subsystems
- Generate schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and documentation meeting MIL-STD and ITAR requirements
- What We're Looking For:
Visa & Work Authorization
- Active security clearance or ability to obtain one
