CHAOS Industries is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the development of high-reliability power and analog electronics for aerospace and military applications. The role spans the full product lifecycle, from requirements definition and architecture trades through detailed circuit design, analysis, layout guidance, board bring-up, verification, production support, and field testing of mission-critical systems.
As a hands-on power and analog board designer, you will own complex mixed power, precision analog, sensing, filtering, and control circuit designs while coordinating technical details across RF, digital, embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams. You will work with limited supervision to resolve complex technical issues involving power, controls, EMI/EMC, and system integration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Power electronics and analog board design for aerospace and defense electronics, including board-level implementation, integration, and verification across one or more programs
- Support architecture trades and define design approaches for power distribution, DC/DC conversion, analog front ends, sensing, filtering, control, protection, and monitoring circuitry
- Schematic design and simulation for power electronics and analog circuits
- Guide PCB layout execution for low-noise analog design, high-current power paths, grounding, shielding, creepage/clearance, thermal management, and isolation of sensitive circuits
- Perform design margin evaluation, derating, tolerance analysis, thermal assessment, and failure analysis for mission-critical hardware
- Support hardware integration, verification, qualification testing, production transition, failure analysis, and field support
CHAOS Industries was founded in 2022 and has raised $1 billion in funding from leading investors including 8VC, Accel, and Valor Equity Partners. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in Washington D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and London. The company develops a multi-product portfolio powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™), empowering warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams.
This is a full-time, on-site position in El Segundo, CA.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant engineering experience
- Deep expertise in combined power and analog board design
- Experience with low- and high-voltage aerospace applications, including 28 VDC and 270 VDC
- Familiarity with aerospace standards such as RTCA/DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-1275
- Experience contributing to design standards, analysis templates, qualification approaches, or review processes for engineering teams
