Electronics Engineer - Directed Energy

EOS is building our high energy laser weapon capability.

The Directed Energy group develops and demonstrates laser systems in the tens to hundreds of kilowatts class for counter-uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) and short range air defence roles, spanning the laser source, beam director, tracking and fire control, power and thermal management, and platform integration.

Electrical power is one of the defining constraints of a laser weapon.

This role owns the architecture that gets several hundred kilowatts from a generator or platform supply, through energy storage and conversion, into a laser that demands clean, stable, high current DC on demand, inside a container or on a vehicle.

You will design it, build it, commission it and stand next to it when it is switched on, working across power electronics, energy storage, control electronics, harnessing, protection and electromagnetic compatibility.

Every role in this team spends time in the field.

Our systems are proven at the test range and on trial sites, and you will be there when that happens.

Primary duties

The job plays a pivotal role in the electrical architecture, safety and reliability of EOS directed energy systems, from prime power through to the laser and beam director loads.

You will provide expertise in high power electrical design, energy storage integration, control and instrumentation electronics, and electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility in a defence environment.
