ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Staff Power Systems Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa or Long Beach, CA. In this role, you will be responsible for owning vehicle system-level electrical power analyses and architecture to ensure our aircraft meet mission and flight requirements. You will lead key technical analyses; including Electrical Loads Analysis (ELA), Emergency Mode Analysis, Battery Sizing, and Bus Integrity. While also driving the power architecture roadmap for the New Aircraft program and next generation vehicle variants. This will require deep expertise in large air-vehicle power distribution systems, simulation tools (e.g., LTspice, SIMPLIS), and military compliance standards (MIL-STD-464, 461, 810, 1760). If you are a seasoned technical leader who thrives on end-to-end ownership, complex vehicle integration, and shaping technical roadmaps for high-visibility autonomous airframes, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own vehicle system-level electrical power analyses, including Electrical Loads Analysis (ELA), Emergency Mode Analysis, Battery Sizing, Short-Circuit, and Bus Integrity. • Shape the electrical architecture trade studies and technical power roadmap for the Fury (Group 5) platform and future vehicle variants. • Develop vehicle integration-level test plans, verification procedures (VTPs), and validation criteria for power distribution systems. • Ensure power system designs comply with critical military standards, including MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-1760. • Execute Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) trade studies and Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA) to optimize performance and mission reliability. • Perform circuit and power system modeling using simulation tools such as LTspice, SIMPLIS, or Multi-Spice. • Collaborate closely with Systems, Avionics, Flight Test, and Hardware teams to guide requirements and resolve integration challenges. • Support ground and flight test campaigns by reviewing power telemetry data, diagnosing anomalies, and verifying flight readiness.
