About the role
- Define system and component level requirements
- Complete the conceptual design stage of electrical systems and components
- Conduct the schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium Designer for R&D iteration, followed by certification-intent design. Schematic-level design will include SMPS, digital logic circuits, motor control, interaction with high-voltage (>800VDC), etc
- Conduct FMEA, stress analysis, tolerance stackup analysis
- Bring completed designs through review, release, and manufacturing
- Facilitate test planning and execution for DO-160 qualification testing and overall aircraft certification
- Support manufacturing planning and long-term production from the design engineering team
- Maximize safety and reliability while minimizing cost
- Interface with component suppliers and build relationships with vendors to support production
- Support other teams at Beta with circuit board design and electrical knowledge
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent experience
- Experience and understanding of electrical fundamentals, switching power supplies, electrical isolation/insulation strategies
- Experience with schematic capture and printed circuit board layout. (KiCAD or Altium preferred)
- Understanding of electrical overcurrent protection coordination and high-voltage insulation
- Ability to operate lab equipment including low and high-voltage power supplies, function generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering irons, heat guns, crimping tools, etc
- Experience with circuit simulation software, especially related to power electronics stability, line/load regulation, control system responses, etc. LTSPICE, PSPICE, Matlab/Simulink are a plus
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent experience
- In-depth knowledge of high-voltage (>800V) designs and isolation boundaries/techniques for power
