We’re Hiring: Power Electronics Engineer Full time | Core team LAT Aerospace | Aircraft LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. The Power Electronics Engineer role is a hands-on one spanning power conversion, power distribution, motor control, embedded hardware, and high-power electrical systems. You will take hardware from architecture and schematic design through PCB development, fabrication, testing, and integration. What you’ll do • Design and develop power electronics for hybrid-electric powertrains, including rectifiers, power distribution board, PCUs, DC-DC converters, motor controllers/ESCs, and associated power boards. • Develop schematics, PCB layouts, power stages, gate drives, sensing, protection, and control interfaces. • Design and optimize power distribution architecture across generators, batteries, motors, and electrical loads. • Perform component selection, electrical sizing, thermal analysis, failure mode identification, and derating for aerospace applications. • Develop simulation models for converters, motor drives, power distribution, and system-level electrical architecture for appropriate software in loop simulations. • Lead prototype development including board bring-up, debugging, characterization, hardware validation and integration. • Design and implement protection, isolation, grounding, current/voltage sensing, fault detection, and safety mechanisms. • Develop test setups and instrumentation for power electronics characterization and system validation. • Diagnose hardware failures and drive rapid design iterations based on test results. • Document designs, test procedures, validation results, and engineering decisions. What we’re looking for • 4+ years of professional experience in aerospace, EV, industrial, or other high-performance electrical systems. • Postgraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field is preferred • Strong fundamentals in power conversion, rectification, switching circuits, and inverter systems. • Hands-on experience designing and debugging power electronics hardware from schematic through working prototypes. • Experience with rectifiers, DC-DC converters, inverters, motor controllers/ESCs, or power distribution systems. • Experience with power semiconductor devices, gate drives, magnetics, current/voltage sensing, and thermal management. • Strong PCB design experience, including multilayer boards and high-current/high-frequency layouts. • Experience with simulation tools such as PLECS, LTspice, PSIM, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent. • Familiarity with HV/LV safety, isolation, grounding, protection, EMI/EMC, and electrical fault handling. • Comfortable working directly with high-power hardware, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, power supplies, and other test equipment. Why LAT? • No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas. • Rapid hardware iteration culture. • Own the complete journey from engineering design to flight-ready hardware.
