About The Position

At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW, include integrated drives, and are 3X lighter than competitors’ systems. H3X is seeking an Electronics Manufacturing Engineer to oversee PCB assembly and wire harness manufacturing and procurement. This role involves implementing new processes and improvements to meet the increasing demand. The position requires a high degree of self-motivation and responsibility, providing significant autonomy and direct responsibility for the production of numerous components.
