Job Description

Corvid Technologies is looking to add an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead the system design, integration, and verification of electromechanical actuation systems for control surfaces of guided rockets and missiles. In this role, you will bridge the gap between the various engineering groups and physical hardware, often collaborating across disciplines to help understand technical trade-offs and optimize performance of systems. The position will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the actuator electronics, complete drive systems, and power delivery systems - from initial architecture trade studies through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and flight qualification. Successful candidate will bring strong analytical and troubleshooting skills – specifically as it relates to complex hardware/software interactions. The role will work in a fast pace, collaborative, and iterative engineering environment focused on delivering exception products to the warfighter. Key Responsibilities:Architecture & Design of electrical and electromechanical components for actuation systems (drive electronics, position feedback sensors, power distribution networks, and thermal batteries)Requirements Management for system-level vehicle requirements (deflection rates, peak torque, bandwidth, duty cycles, dynamic response, and thermal limits) into detailed electrical and electro-mechanical subsystem specificationsControl & Drive Integration for closed-loop servo control algorithms, current/torque loops, and fault-detection logic into embedded drive electronicsSafety & Reliability analyses, including DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and dynamic load/failure response, ensuring fault tolerance and compliance with safety-critical flight requirementsTesting & Verification support includes bench testing, Environmental Stress Screening (ESS), integrated bench testing (iron bird), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing Compliance & Qualification support for hardware qualification and acceptance activities against aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, DO-254, DO-178, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, RCC-319)Requirements: Candidate must be a US Citizen and meet eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret ClearanceBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related STEM Discipline) and at least 3 years of relevant experience supporting safety-critical electromechanical actuation systems (EMA), servo systems, or high-performance motor drivesDemonstrated expertise in electric motor drives, power electronics, thermal batteries, and/or sensor feedback systemsProficiency in modeling and simulating dynamic electrical/mechatronic systems using MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE, or similar toolsExperience with schematic capture, cable/harness design tools (Altium, SolidWorks Electrical)Experience with communication buses common in aerospace (CAN, RS-422/485, Ethernet)Hands-on experience with laboratory test equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, dynamic load benches)About Corvid:Corvid Technologies is a unique organization focused on analyzing, developing and manufacturing next generation technology for Aerospace, DoW, and commercial customers.
