What You'll Do

You'll take ownership of electrical design efforts for ruggedized, AI-integrated electronics used in defense and environmental science platforms, and mentor early-career engineers as you go.

• Lead design of mixed-signal PCBs, embedded controllers, and custom sensor interfaces, and see them through to fielded hardware
• Architect low-power, high-reliability electronics for rugged, space-constrained platforms; set the electrical requirements and prove them out against functional, thermal, and EMI/EMC targets
• Integrate embedded processors, FPGAs, sensors, and power subsystems, working directly with software teams on hardware and firmware communication
• Own electrical design workstreams end to end, from requirements through release, and guide junior engineers and interns along the way
• Drive design reviews, risk assessments, and trade studies as a key technical voice
• Build test procedures and lead lab validation (thermal, vibration, environmental), then run root cause analysis and corrective action when something breaks
• Partner with vendors on PCB fabrication, assembly, and design for manufacturability, and manage obsolescence and lifecycle planning

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, plus 4-6 years of relevant experience
• Strong working knowledge of low-power design, sensor integration, and signal conditioning
• Familiarity with compliance standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461, IPC-610, ISO, ITAR/EAR)
• Ability to manage engineering tasks independently and drive results across multiple stakeholders
• Proficient in lab testing, debugging, and root cause analysis using industry-standard tools
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset

Bonus Points

• Background in automotive, EV, AV, aerospace, or space
• Experience with guidance and navigation tech, or inertial/magnetic sensors
• Optics or multispectral digital imaging systems
• MIL-STD or DO-160 EMC design and test experience
• Programmable logic design, or signal/power integrity design
• Experience taking a product into full production and shipping at scale
• Low-level firmware experience for hardware bring-up and testing

Compensation and Benefits

• $105,000 to $143,000 annually. New hires typically start between the range minimum and midpoint depending on qualifications and role budget.
• Medical, dental, and vision fully paid by OKSI for the employee
• Three weeks vacation
• Automatic 401(k) contribution: 5% of earned wages, no matching required
• Educational assistance
• Hybrid schedule - Relocation Assistance available!
