About Wright Electric Wright Electric builds power systems behind the future of aerospace and defense — from 30 kW expeditionary generators to multi-megawatt airborne propulsion. Our work spans electric motors, next-generation batteries, power electronics, and complete power systems like DenseGen and Dynamo, all engineered for a step-change in power and energy density. Since 2016, we've earned the trust of some of the most demanding customers in the world, including AFSOC, the USMC, PACAF, USTRANSCOM, NASA, ARPA-E, the FAA, and U.S. Air Force programs. It's genuinely cutting-edge work. We also move fast. Wright is an all-hands, high-ownership environment where the pace is quick and the problems are hard, and the people who thrive here are the ones who dig in and drive their work to the finish. At the same time, we know sustained great work depends on rest: we respect our team's personal time and protect the boundaries that keep people sharp, healthy, and here for the long haul. The Role Wright Electric is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with 10+ years of experience to join our growing R&D team. This is a hands-on, senior role: you'll rapidly prototype power-electronic and control systems for motor and generator applications, take on the most complex design challenges, and mentor engineers across the team. You'll help set the technical bar for how we build, and own your work from concept through validated hardware. The engineers who thrive here are pragmatic, deeply technical, and generous with their knowledge. You'll be a go-to problem-solver on power electronics and a multiplier for the engineers around you, working across disciplines to move designs from concept to working hardware. What You'll Do Rapidly prototype power-electronic and control systems for motor and generator applications. Lead the design of complex power-electronics systems from concept through test. Mentor and develop engineers across the team, raising the technical bar. Support testing and test-plan development for prototypes and products. Identify and source the components needed to realize a design. Collaborate across departments to move designs from concept to working hardware. Own your tasks from concept through completion. Qualifications Required Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) plus 10 years of professional experience OR Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) plus 5 years of professional electrical engineering experience. OR PhD in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) Experience with power electronics systems. Experience with prototype and product development. Experience supporting testing and test-plan development. Strong mentoring abilities. Ability to work with and engage team members across departments. Capable of owning tasks from beginning to end. Preferred Experience with motors and drives. Experience with control system design. Experience with generators and micro-grids. Experience with embedded firmware development.
