Electrical or Embedded Controls Engineer (Early Career, Exceptional Talent)

This job is demanding and rewarding. 

This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if:

• You've done something extraordinary early – designed custom electronics, built embedded systems, programmed microcontrollers, led Formula SAE, Robotics, Rocketry, or another hardware-focused competition team, or owned electrical or controls work during an internship.
• You enjoy moving between hardware and software and understanding how the entire system works.
• You'd rather debug hardware in the lab than sit in a conference room.
• You want ownership, not hand-holding.
• Hard problems energize you.
• You like seeing something you designed come to life.

What You'll Do

• Own a defined portion of Superpower's electrical or embedded controls architecture – from instrumentation and sensors to embedded controllers, wiring architecture, and hardware integration.
• Design, build, and validate electrical systems that generate the data needed to develop, control, and protect the engine.
• Partner closely with propulsion, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and test engineers to integrate electrical hardware into a first-of-its-kind gas turbine platform.
• Develop and troubleshoot embedded hardware and control systems during engine testing, quickly identifying root causes and improving system performance.
• Help build reliable systems that connect hardware, software, and test – from first prototype through engine validation.

You Probably Have

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a closely related field.
• Internship, research, or project experience designing, integrating, or testing electrical, embedded, or control systems.
• Experience with embedded programming, instrumentation, microcontrollers, electrical design, PCB development, sensors, or hardware integration.
• Comfortable working in the lab with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and real hardware – not just simulations.
• A track record of taking ownership, finishing difficult projects, and solving problems without waiting for someone else to hand you the answer.
