• Experience designing complex power and analog electronics for aerospace, defense, avionics, radar, EW, communications, space systems, or other high-reliability systems
• Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals, including DC/DC conversion, regulation, protection, sequencing, filtering, power distribution, thermal management, and design margin
• Strong understanding of analog circuit fundamentals, including low-noise design, grounding, shielding, signal conditioning, filtering, op amps, references, data converters, and sensor interfaces
• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation and layout practices for mixed power, analog, digital, and RF board environments
• Hands-on experience supporting verification, qualification, production transition, failure analysis, and field support for high-reliability hardware
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex technical problems and coordinate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

Desirable

• CHAOS is seeking a Staff Electrical Engineer with deep expertise in combined power and analog board design to lead the development of high-reliability electronics for aerospace and military applications. This 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
• 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
• Resolve complex technical issues involving power, controls, EMI/EMC, and system integration with limited supervision
• 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
