Senior Electrical Engineer

Auriga is developing novel electromagnetic launch technology for on-demand orbital access. Our system replaces the first stage of a traditional rocket with a ground-based accelerator, drastically reducing costs and enabling rapid, reusable launch capabilities. We work at the intersection of aerospace, advanced power electronics, and control systems to deliver new capabilities for space and defense.

We are looking for a senior electrical engineer to join our team and help drive hardware projects through their life cycle: starting with requirements generation, concept development, detail design, manufacturing, and finally testing and commissioning. The ideal candidate will thrive in a start-up environment and be excited to work with a small, high-performing, and hands-on team.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• At least 5 years of experience in an equivalent or related-type of work
• Solid foundation in:
  Power and energy conversion principles;
  Electric circuit theory (AC and DC, steady-state and transient response);
  Analog electronics;
  Semiconductor devices (bipolar transistors, diodes, MOSFETs); microcontroller experience is a plus
• High level of skill with standard lab equipment such as oscilloscopes; experience with spectrum analyzers and advanced lab equipment is a plus
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to apply fundamental concepts to practical engineering challenges
• Eagerness to learn and grow in a hands-on environment

• Work closely with other electrical engineers to design, test, and troubleshoot electronic circuits and systems
• Support prototyping and lab experiments in power electronics and analog systems
• Participate in technical discussions, contribute ideas, and apply academic knowledge to practical projects
• Document work clearly and effectively for internal use and future development
• To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
