What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Electrical Engineer position at Future Wave Recruiting Solutions, LLC?
We’re recruiting for a Senior Electrical Engineer on behalf of a leading aerospace OEM designing battery electronics for military and commercial aircraft. This is a hands-on engineering role with full ownership from schematic through qualification and production — ideal for an engineer who wants to see their designs go from concept to flying hardware.
What you’ll do:
- Own customer technical requirements and translate them into robust, producible solutions.
- Design PCBs for power supplies, battery chargers and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
- Create, simulate and validate mixed-signal and power-electronics circuits (SPICE, MATLAB).
- Drive design qualification to aerospace/defense standards (DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461).
- Lead PDRs/CDRs, develop test plans/reports and ensure designs meet cost, schedule and performance targets.
- Troubleshoot and validate designs in the lab using oscilloscopes, DAQs, DMMs and other bench equipment.
- Mentor team members and collaborate cross-functionally (hardware, firmware, systems) to bring products into production.
What we’re looking for:
- 7 years hands-on experience in circuit and power-electronics design (AC/DC, DC/DC, battery chargers).
- Strong analog & digital design skills; experience with PWM control, Power MOSFETs and IGBTs preferred.
- Demonstrated ownership of designs from schematics through qualification and testing.
- Practical knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation and qualification testing.
- Proficiency with MATLAB/SPICE simulation workflows; embedded C/C experience is a plus.
- Experience designing to DO-160, MIL-STD-704 and/or MIL-STD-461 is strongly preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (master’s preferred).
- Strong problem-solving skills and a drive to lead innovation and technical teams.
Why this role
- Work on mission-critical battery electronics that directly impact aerospace platforms.
- High visibility, cross-disciplinary collaboration and clear paths for professional growth and leadership.
- Opportunity to own challenging technical work and deliver products that go into aircraft.
