About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Control Electronics Engineer to design and deliver real-time electronic control systems for Castelion's long-range hypersonic strike vehicles. This role is critical to enabling precise actuation and vehicle control through robust, high-performance electronics. You will work hands-on with multidisciplinary engineering teams to design, build, test, and validate control electronics hardware, with a focus on thrust vector control (TVC) systems and attitude control system (ACS) drivers in a fast-paced, hardware-driven environment.

Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
5+ years of experience designing and validating control electronics for aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability systems
Strong background in real-time control systems, actuator electronics, and feedback control implementation in hardware
Experience designing motor drivers, valve drivers, or similar high-performance actuator control electronics
Proficiency in analog and mixed-signal circuit design, simulation, and analysis (e.g., SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent)
Experience with hardware bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in a lab or flight hardware environment
Familiarity with EMI/EMC design practices, ruggedized electronics, and operation in high-vibration/high-temperature environments
Strong problem-solving mindset, thriving in a fast-paced, hardware-rich, high flight cadence environment
U.S. citizenship is required
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government–issued security clearance

Responsibilities

Design and develop real-time control electronics for flight-critical systems, including TVC controllers and attitude control system (ACS) driver electronics
Lead the architecture and implementation of actuator control systems, including motor drivers, valve drivers, and associated feedback/control loops
Develop high-reliability analog and mixed-signal circuits for precision control, sensing, and actuation
Work closely with GNC, avionics, and flight software teams to ensure seamless integration of control electronics with vehicle systems
Perform circuit-level and system-level modeling and analysis to validate performance, stability, and robustness under dynamic flight conditions
Support hardware bring-up, integration, and test campaigns, including debugging, root cause analysis, and performance tuning
Define and execute qualification and flight test plans, translating results into system-level improvements
Ensure designs meet requirements for thermal performance, EMI/EMC, and operation in extreme environments
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices in control electronics design
Partner closely with program leadership to make technical trades aligned with mission success
