Senior Electrical Integration Engineer

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.
• Own the end-to-end electrical and mechanical design of test enclosures and high-voltage harness systems required for flight-representative validation.
• 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.
• Work cross-functionally with power electronics, software, and thermal teams to decompose operational profiles into power requirements and ensure compliance with aviation safety and certification standards.
• What You Need
• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace) or Physics. While advanced degrees are well represented on our team, we prioritize demonstrated impact and hands-on problem solving over credentials alone.
• Troubleshooting: Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills are critical in this role. We'll look to you to be methodical and rigorous so we can draw real insight from your test findings.
• Bonus Qualifications
• 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 qualificati
