Propulsion Controls Engineer (Motor / Power Electronics)

Join our team as a Propulsion Controls Engineer, where you will architect, implement, and verify advanced control algorithms for electric propulsion systems. You will work on either the motor control track or the power electronics track, developing seamless interfaces between flight control computers, power inverters, propulsion controllers, and battery management units. You will also be responsible for developing and troubleshooting safety-critical embedded C/C++ code for real-time aerospace applications, executing rigorous simulations and testing, and producing comprehensive technical documentation. A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is required, along with 2+ years of experience in control systems engineering.
