Electrical Engineer

Who you are

• The ideal candidate is capable of running projects from cradle to grave and has the ability to work effectively with other engineering disciplines
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
• Hands on electrical experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar
• Well-versed in electrical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems
• Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in electrical engineering
• Familiarity with industrial automation technologies, robotics, spacecraft avionics, or similar high-performance electromechanical system
• Experience with sensors, embedded microcontroller design and firmware, and FPGA hardware and software development
• Experience with high-speed data acquisition systems, high-accuracy motion systems, high-speed scanning systems, or similar camera/telemetry-based control systems
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
• Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
• Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
• Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)
• 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
