Staff Electrical Engineer

Join CHAOS as a Staff Electrical Engineer, where you will lead the development of high-reliability electronics for aerospace and military applications. This role encompasses the entire product lifecycle, from requirements definition to field testing of mission-critical systems. You will work on power electronics and analog board design, support architecture trades, and guide PCB layout execution. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, 8+ years of relevant experience, and a strong understanding of power and analog circuit fundamentals.

• Lead the development of high-reliability electronics for aerospace and military applications, spanning the full product lifecycle from requirements definition to field testing.
• Support architecture trades and define design approaches for power distribution, DC/DC conversion, analog front ends, sensing, filtering, control, protection, and monitoring circuitry.
• Guide PCB layout execution for low-noise analog design, high-current power paths, grounding, shielding, creepage/clearance, thermal management, and isolation of sensitive circuits.

• The ideal candidate is a hands-on power and analog board designer who can own complex mixed power, precision analog, sensing, filtering, and control circuit designs while coordinating technical details across RF, digital, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams
• Hands-on experience supporting verification, qualification, production transition, failure analysis, and field support for high-reliability hardware
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex technical problems and coordinate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams
• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation and layout practices for mixed power, analog, digital, and RF board environments
• Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals, including DC/DC conversion, regulation, protection, sequencing, filtering, power distribution, thermal management, and design margin
• Strong understanding of analog circuit fundamentals, including low-noise design, grounding, shielding, signal conditioning, filtering, op amps, references, data converters, and sensor interfaces
• Experience designing complex power and analog electronics for aerospace, defense, avionics, radar, EW, communications, space systems, or other high-reliability systems
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
• Experience with Avionics platforms
• Advanced Degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related discipline
• Experience with low- and high-voltage aerospace applications, including 28 VDC and 270 VDC
• Familiarity with aerospace standards such as RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-1275
• Experience contributing to design standards, analysis templates, qualification approaches, or review processes for engineering teams
