Key skills for this role
Power is the product. We're looking for a power electronics engineer who can own the electrical architecture of our power, conversion and energy systems, both on energy storage and vehicle/ automotive mobility from DC/DC and DC/AC conversion, protection and isolation circuits, and power distribution and management. You'll be one of the first power electronics hires and will directly shape what goes into our products across multiple platforms and sectors. This is a high-ownership, high-impact, highly interdisciplinary, prototype-to-production role at a company where the hardware actually matters.
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.
Experience with wide bandgap semiconductors (GaN, SiC) for high-efficiency, high-density power conversion
Strong experience with AC power conversion (1 phase, 3 phase) systems and knowledge of transformers
Familiarity with battery safety standards: UN 38.3, UL 2580, IEC 62133
Experience with pulsed-load power delivery for high-power transient systems (directed energy, radar, EW)
Background in designing to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 (combined electrical and environmental qualification)
Embedded firmware experience or strong collaboration with firmware teams on BMS/power management
Experience with LTspice, SIMPLIS, MATLAB/Simulink, or COMSOL for circuit and thermal simulation
A reasonable estimate of the current salary range is $130,000-$180,000 annually. Compensation packages also include early-stage equity and access to company-sponsored benefit plans.
