Why EPS?

Electric Power Systems develops high-voltage propulsion-class energy storage systems supporting next-generation aerospace and maritime defense platforms.

Our systems are integrated into mission-critical platforms operating in dynamic environments where reliability, survivability, and system safety are essential to mission success.

Engineers at EPS work directly across mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and test disciplines to support development, integration, and qualification of flight- and vehicle-level propulsion systems from early architecture through environmental and certification testing.

If you're motivated by integrating propulsion or power systems into operationally relevant aerospace or maritime platforms and contributing to development programs where performance directly impacts mission readiness, EPS offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of electrified mobility.

This position is based onsite at our North Logan, Utah headquarters to support hands-on collaboration with development and test teams in hardware-integrated environments.
