Pulsed Power / High Voltage Electrical Engineer

Fathom Robotics • Fort Worth, TX

1d • $100,000 - $150,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Fathom Robotics is hiring an experienced Pulsed Power / High Voltage Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, prototyping, and testing of specialized electronic systems for defense applications. The work involves high-voltage electronics, pulsed power systems, and capacitor discharge systems. This hands-on technical engineering position emphasizes practical design, troubleshooting, and hardware development rather than project management.

The role is based primarily in a laboratory in Fort Worth, Texas, and includes circuit design, prototype assembly, and hands-on testing of high-voltage hardware. The engineer will work safely around high-voltage and stored-energy systems every day. The anticipated start is in the near term, contingent upon contract award.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• Experience designing, developing, or testing high-voltage electronics or pulsed power systems.
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, and circuit simulation tools such as Altium, KiCad, LTspice, or equivalent software.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex analog and power electronic circuits.
• Ability to work independently on hardware development projects and communicate technical findings.

Nice To Haves

• Pulsed power or high-voltage design experience on defense, national lab, or directed energy programs.
• Capacitor bank, high-voltage switch, or Marx generator design experience.
• EMI and EMC testing and mitigation on power electronics.
• Hands-on use of high-voltage probes, current monitors, and high-bandwidth oscilloscopes.
• Solid high-voltage lab safety practices and experience working around stored-energy systems.
• Altium proficiency.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate high-voltage and pulsed power electronic systems for defense applications.
• Design and evaluate capacitor-based energy storage, power conversion, and controlled discharge electronics.
• Develop high-voltage power supplies, switching circuits, and associated control and monitoring electronics.
• Perform circuit simulation, schematic capture, component selection, and PCB design.
• Evaluate electrical transients, switching behavior, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and high-voltage insulation requirements.
• Build, troubleshoot, and test prototype electronic assemblies.
