Power Controls Engineer

Highlights

• Own control architecture for high-performance power electronics for defense systems.
• Take controls concepts from simulation through hardware validation in aerospace.
• Deliver tightly integrated, high-reliability systems for aerospace applications.

Ideal candidate

An experienced controls engineer who thrives owning complex systems end-to-end, from modeling to hardware validation, and is motivated by building reliable technology for defense and aerospace missions.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience designing and tuning digital control loops for power electronic converters (DC/DC, DC/AC, or motor drives).
• Proficiency in Simulink and/or PLECS for control system modeling, simulation, and analysis.
• Strong foundation in control theory — z-domain and s-domain design, bode analysis, state-space methods, and discrete-time implementation considerations.
• Hands-on experience with discrete SiC and/or GaN FET-based power stages in the multi-kW range.
• Familiarity with military or aerospace environments and standards such as MIL-STD-461, 464, 810, or DO-160.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
