Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineer

Location: Houston, TX

Type: Contract | Onsite (8 month contract)

Level: 5+ years’ experience

We’re supporting a rapidly growing technology company operating at the intersection of space systems, advanced energy storage, grid technology, and defense applications.

Responsibilities

• Lead electrical design of PCB assemblies, power electronics, control boards and embedded hardware

• Build, test and debug your own prototypes using in-house tools, instrumentation and development equipment

• Develop schematics, layouts and hardware architectures for energy storage, power distribution and high-reliability electronics

• Execute board-level and system-level testing (functional, thermal, electrical, EMI/EMC, reliability) and feed results back into rapid design iteration

• Develop electrical architectures for battery modules, power systems, sensing interfaces and safety-critical electronics

• Own the full engineering lifecycle: requirements → schematics → layout → prototype → validation → release

• Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software and systems engineers to deliver integrated hardware

• Support qualification efforts for aerospace, defense and grid-level applications

• Contribute to rapid development cycles where “test → iterate → test” is the standard approach

Requirements

• 5+ years electrical engineering experience in hardware product development

• Strong PCB design and layout capability (Altium, Cadence, OrCAD or similar)

• Proven hands-on ability to prototype, assemble, instrument, and debug electronic hardware

• Ability to read schematics, design circuits, and troubleshoot down to component level

• Comfort working in fast development cycles with limited information and evolving requirements

• Understanding of high-reliability hardware for space, defense, or mission-critical energy systems

• Familiarity with electrical safety, testing standards, and DFM/DFT principles

• Commutable or local to Houston, TX
