As a Principal Electrical Engineer at Mach Industries, you will lead the electrical design, development, and testing of next-generation autonomous defense platforms. You will design embedded electronics, PCBs, and power systems for flight avionics and guidance systems, while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical components into sophisticated defense systems.

Responsibilities

Embedded Electronics Design: Design electronic circuit boards consisting of MCUs, low and high-speed communication busses such as USB, Ethernet, MIPI, digital and analog interfaces, power distribution, EMI, and ESD circuits
Team Mentorship: Contribute to the growth and development of earlier career engineers through hands on coaching, providing guidance on key projects, and leading by example
Rapid Prototype Design and Testing: Rapidly construct prototypes using standard and application specific lab tools. Test and evaluate prototypes with standard and application specific test equipment to verify design integrity and performance
Schematic and Layout PCB Design: Design PCB, Altium Designer preferred, for flight avionics, guidance systems, communication systems, and power distribution
Documentation: Develop and maintain detailed design documentation, CAD drawings, and product specifications for board and system designs
Quality Assurance: Design PCB boards and systems in accordance with Mach and industry quality standards. Collaborate with the quality team ensuring designs meet quality, reliability, and safety standards
Regulatory Compliance: Participate with the regulatory team to ensure all designs and processes meet industry, defense, and export control regulations
Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, system, test, and other engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical components, such as vehicle harnessing, into the overall design

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Minimum of 10 years of experience in electrical engineering, preferably in defense or aerospace
