  • Expertise in motor drive design, including control of BLDC and/or induction motors for aerospace or defense application
  • Proven experience supporting product certification, compliance testing, and technical documentation in regulated industries
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to lead root cause investigations and implement effective corrective actions
  • Proficiency with PSPICE, Altium Designer, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or equivalent tools
  • Familiarity with embedded firmware (C/C++) and DSP/FPGA integration is preferred
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation strategies and aerospace standards (DO-160, MIL-STD-461, -704, -1275)
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to support program reviews, testing, and supplier integration activities
  • Demonstrated accountability, ownership of schedules, and strong attention to detail in documentation.
