Senior Power Electronics Engineer / Analog Digital Design PCB / Defense

Job Description

A growing defense contractor is seeking a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to join their engineering team. This is a full-time, onsite position working on power electronics systems for military and defense applications, including power supplies, generators, and heavy industrial equipment for mission-critical defense platforms.

You'll be working in a true end-to-end manufacturing environment where engineering meets production.
