• Develop robust system/subsystem interface definitions
• Coordinate with regulators and DERs on the development and review of AEH certification substantiation artifacts
• Work closely with the electrical design team to ensure the product meets desired business requirements
• Participate in design reviews, hardware qualification, and root cause analysis to ensure robust and certifiable hardware performance

What You Need:

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, or electronic hardware qualification—preferably in aerospace, automotive, or other regulated industries
• Strong understanding of mixed-signal electronic design, including analog sensing, power electronics, and microcontroller-based systems
• Experience with Polarion or other requirements management tools
• Knowledge of design assurance and verification methodologies per DO-254 or ISO 26262
• Familiarity with hardware and system certification processes under FAA or EASA frameworks
• Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills

Bonus Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with high-voltage BMS electronics and battery pack integration
• Familiarity with ARP4754A development lifecycle and certification planning
