America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost‑effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.About The TeamThe Avionics Team owns the electronics on the vehicle: flight computer, compute boards, power conversion, sensor interfaces, wiring, and the embedded firmware that ties them together. The same engineers design the boards, write the firmware, and bring them up at the bench. No handoff layer between hardware and software.Avionics sits on the critical path for every flight test, so the team's velocity sets the program's pace.About The RoleWe are looking for an outstanding electrical engineer with deep experience in power systems and circuit design for aerospace or other demanding hardware environments.You will lead the design and development of power electronics, distribution systems, embedded electrical hardware, and mission‑critical avionics circuitry. This role requires both strong theoretical engineering fundamentals and practical hands‑on debugging capability.What You'll DoDesign power distribution and conversion systems for aerospace platformsDevelop analog and digital circuit designs for avionics and vehicle systemsCreate schematics, PCB layouts, and bring‑up proceduresDesign battery management, power regulation, and protection systemsDesign the actuator drive electronics for the fin control actuation system: power stage, current sensing, motor commutation, position‑interface front‑end, and motor‑bus partitioning. Spec to the Control Actuation Engineer's requirements; partner with Avionics software on bench tuningSupport EMI/EMC design and validation effortsPerform hardware debugging, integration, and environmental testingWork closely with embedded software and systems engineersDevelop test infrastructure and hardware validation proceduresHelp establish scalable electrical architecture standardsSkills We're Hiring ForBS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline5+ years of circuit and power systems design experienceStrong analog and digital circuit design fundamentalsExperience designing power electronics and high‑reliability systemsExperience with PCB design and schematic capture toolsExperience debugging hardware in laboratory environmentsStrong understanding of power integrity, grounding, and EMI mitigationMotor drive design experience: BLDC and PMSM power stages, gate driver selection, current sensing topologies, and EMI mitigation for high‑current motor busesExcellent communication and collaboration skillsBonus Points ForAerospace, EV, robotics, or high‑performance mobility experienceExperience with high‑voltage systemsFamiliarity with FPGA interfaces and embedded systemsExperience with thermal analysis and reliability engineeringExperience designing hardware for demanding aerospace or high‑reliability environments, including familiarity with DO‑160 environmental qualification, EMI/EMC mitigation, and power integrity validationExperience taking hardware from prototype through productionEligibility & LogisticsLocation: On‑site at our Los Angeles, CA HQ; remote work is not available.
