Key skills for this role
Chariot Defense is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Electrical Engineer to join our engineering team, reporting to the Head of Electrical Engineering. In this role, you will conceptualize, design, develop, and test advanced energy storage and power electronic systems. You will work across multidisciplinary engineering and design teams to ensure our systems meet stringent MIL-STD performance, reliability, and security requirements for deployment in demanding environments, performing critical missions.
Chariot Defense is a defense technology company that designs and manufactures a family of power products for the U.S. military and its allies. We believe that credible deterrence of armed conflict and winning if deterrence fails, requires more than just the best drones, sensors, weapons, electronic warfare systems, and command & control capabilities. Those critical components will require sustained electric power in austere and resource-constrained environments. Moreover, military units must be able to turn off the trucks and generators that generate this power to hide and survive. In other words, power generation must be decoupled from power consumption. Chariot Defense’s products enable exactly this capability, allowing U.S. and allied militaries to be more lethal and survivable. We hope you will join us on this mission.

Top-notch engineering intuition and first principles thinking toward designing complex products that function seamlessly for your customer, taking both an engineering/ technical, and product/ customer approach, to strike the optimal balance.
Able to independently identify critical information or priority gaps and apply effort toward closing those gaps.
Undaunted by imperfect, incomplete or absent datasets or information, and capable of making sound, comprehensive, and swift first-principled decisions to achieve a product end-state that meets and/or exceeds the need of the hour.
Not satisfied by superficial explanations of a problem or “band-aid engineering”; seeks persistently to find the specific root cause through data-driven methods, and resolve failures or recurring issues, so they can be mitigated to prevent future such instances.
Gratified by helping your peers succeed, building a robust team culture, and propagation deep camaraderie amongst your peers; seeks to break down information silos by collaborating rigorously with others to solve problems, share knowledge, and provide input.
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, or related degree.
3+ years of experience in end-to-end circuit design, component selection and specification, electrical architecture trade-offs, ASIL redundancy/ functional safety, embedded systems troubleshooting, and electronics testing.
Proficiency with CAD tools (preferred, Altium), simulation software (preferred, MATLAB/Simulink/Spice)
Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, function generators, low and high voltage programmable power supplies, spectral, logic, and impedance analyzers, debuggers, voltage probes, current clamps, and automation of tests, reflow techniques, soldering, connector selection and integration etc.
Fluent in CAN BUS protocols (preferred, J1939, CANOPEN) and other low-voltage networking protocols.
Familiarity with MIL-STD, DO-160, or other automotive, defense, and aerospace standards.
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
Experience designing and working directly with low and high voltage energy storage systems, high current/ high voltage power distribution, and voltage regulating power electronics.
Experience with advanced circuit modeling tools such as LTSpice and multiphysics systems such as Comsol, and familiarity with common and less frequent complex circuit dynamics (e.g.: oscillations, ringing, ground bounce etc.)
Experience designing, and debugging, various end-point nodes on an electrical grid such as motors, sensors, resistors, other inductive/ capacitive/ resistive loads
Experience designing low-side and high-side circuit switches, half and full bridges, advanced noise filters and power stabilizers, fly back diode circuits, passive and active discharge systems etc.
Experience with critical managing radiated emissions for minimizing any RF signatures, and designing for immunity from external RF spectra, and some exposure to broadband amplifiers, antennas, near-field probes etc.
Experience in industries/applications requiring high-reliability embedded power electronics operated in austere environments.
Familiar with U.S. and NATO operational requirements, particularly the Tactical Microgrid Standard.
Develops and manufactures software-defined power systems for military use.
