Electrical Engineer

Castelion Corporation•Allen, TX

About The Position

Castelion is moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus and technical excellence are decisive advantages - and we are building a team that can deliver real capability, not just concepts. This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where your work will directly shape critical systems, influence major technical decisions, and have immediate, real-world impact. As an Electrical Engineer, you will become the Responsible Engineer for multiple mission-critical circuit card assemblies (CCAs) that power Castelion's flight systems. While the initial designs have been completed, you'll take ownership of the products through qualification, production readiness, and full-rate manufacturing. This is an exceptional opportunity for an early-career engineer to gain end-to-end product ownership at a rapidly growing aerospace company. You'll work closely with experienced electrical, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain engineers to transition complex electronics from prototype to production while ensuring reliability, manufacturability, and long-term support. At Castelion, engineers own their hardware throughout its entire lifecycle—from design refinement and qualification through production, field support, and continuous improvement.
