Job description

Our Partner is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to join their team. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for an experienced professional with a strong background in aerospace or defense electronics design.

The ideal candidate will have 15+ years of experience designing, developing, and testing complex electrical hardware, with expertise in taking products from concept through production. This person will lead the design of ruggedized computing systems and power electronics built to perform in harsh aerospace environments while mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership across major programs.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Opportunity to lead impactful engineering initiatives within a highly technical environment

Strong visibility across engineering and operations leadership

Blend of hands-on technical leadership and team development

Ability to influence product reliability, quality, and long-term engineering strategy

Collaborative culture that values innovation, ownership, and technical expertise

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineering leader looking to make a meaningful impact within a growing and highly specialized organization.

Compensation, Benefits & Time Off

Competitive salary plus a performance bonus program

401(k) with company match

Medical, dental, and vision coverage, with multiple medical tiers to fit your needs

Basic Life and AD&D insurance provided at no cost, with the option to purchase additional coverage

11 paid company holidays, plus a flexible, generous PTO policy

Company-wide shutdown between Christmas and New Year's, so the whole team gets that week off together

Leadership development and individual growth planning, with annual recognition for top performers

A flat, fast-moving, hands-on culture — your work is visible across engineering and operations leadership, not siloed

Access to cutting-edge technology, working alongside industry partners like Intel and NVIDIA on hardware headed straight into mission-critical defense and aerospace platforms

Responsibilities

Design complex electrical schematics for high-speed digital, analog, and power circuits.

Lead prototype board bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation using laboratory equipment.

Develop ruggedized electronic hardware for extreme thermal, vibration, shock, and EMI environments.

Perform component selection, worst-case analysis, and signal integrity evaluations.

Oversee PCB layout, routing, stack-up, grounding, and manufacturing support.

Troubleshoot hardware issues to the component level and implement design improvements.

Create engineering documentation, test plans, and design specifications.

Lead technical design reviews and provide mentorship to junior engineers.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Master's degree preferred).

15+ years of hands-on electrical hardware design experience.

Experience within the aerospace or defense industry is required.

Strong background in PCB design, schematic capture, board bring-up, and laboratory testing.

Proven ability to lead technical projects while remaining hands-on in hardware development.
