Senior Electrical Engineer Power Electronics

Tekberry is looking for a reliable Senior Power Design Engineer to work on-site with our client, a world-wide leader of advanced flight controls and actuation for commercial and military aircraft.

This role is ideal for a top-tier power design professional who combines deep technical expertise, speed and rigor in execution, and uncompromising attention to detail to deliver world-class, error-free designs that perform reliably in mission-critical environments.

What You'll Do

• Architect and design high-reliability power electronics including DC-DC converters and related subsystems such as inverters, motor drives, or battery-management systems.
• Perform circuit design, simulation, component selection, schematic capture, and guide PCB layout, thermal, and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Lead hardware bring-up, integration, debug, verification, and qualification activities.
• Develop and review specifications, design reviews, test plans, and verification documentation.
• Solve complex technical issues using structured root-cause analysis.
• Provide technical mentorship and design guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ensure designs meet aerospace and defense reliability, environmental, and performance requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related discipline.
• 8+ years designing power electronics for aerospace, defense, industrial, or other high-reliability applications.
• Strong experience designing DC-DC power converters or closely related power conversion circuits.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (Cadence Allegro, Altium, or similar).
• Experience using simulation tools such as SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, Mathcad, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of power semiconductor devices. MOSFET experience required; IGBT, SiC, and GaN experience is beneficial.
• Experience supporting hardware through the full product lifecycle from architecture through qualification and production.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and technical leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.
• Experience developing electronics for harsh-environment or space applications.
• Experience with radiation-tolerant or radiation-hardened electronics.
• Experience with motor control, reliability analysis (FMEA/MTBF), or system integration.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical design reviews.
