Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Purpose

At Rebel Systems, we're not just engineers. We are disruptors, creators, and innovators on a mission to transform the defense market. The battlefield of tomorrow demands technologies that are smarter, lighter, and more cost-effective at scale. We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical/Electronics Engineer to design, develop, and validate advanced PCBAs for power electronics and hybrid systems applications.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of PCBAs for power electronics applications, including DC-DC converters, motor drives, and hybrid energy systems.
• Utilize Altium Designer to perform schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, and prepare complete manufacturing documentation.
• Conduct design simulations and analyses (SPICE, thermal, SI/PI) to ensure electrical, mechanical, and thermal integrity.
• Optimize designs for thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and manufacturability (DFM).
• Perform hands-on prototype bring-up, testing, validation, and troubleshooting of developed hardware.
• Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to deliver fully integrated solutions.
• Author clear documentation for designs, test procedures, and compliance certifications.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 8+ years of professional experience designing and testing PCBAs for power electronics applications.
• 5+ years of experience with Altium Designer for schematic capture and complex multi-layer PCB layouts.
• Strong working knowledge of power electronics principles, including switching converters, motor drives, battery management, and hybrid energy systems.
• Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), and familiarity with fabrication and assembly processes.
• Knowledge of relevant standards such as IPC, UL, CE, and best practices for compliance and testing.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience designing for high-voltage (>400VDC) or high-power (>5kW) applications.
• Expertise with thermal design techniques and EMI/EMC mitigation strategies.
• Familiarity with firmware and embedded systems development for hardware validation (even at the troubleshooting level).
• Experience with system-level integration involving power management and control architectures.
