We're Hiring : Power Electronics Engineer
Gurgaon | Full-Time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | STOL Aircraft
At LAT Aerospace, we're building a clean-sheet Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) aircraft to transform regional air mobility in India. We're looking for a Power Electronics Engineer to design and implement lightweight, high-voltage power conversion and distribution hardware for our hybrid-electric propulsion system.
What you'll do
- Design high-voltage (800 V) DC-DC converters, inverters, rectifiers, and power modules for the aircraft powertrain.
- Develop converter schematics, PCB layouts, magnetics specifications, cooling strategies, and packaging concepts.
- Build and maintain system-level simulation models for power converters and distribution architecture.
- Perform component sizing, switch selection, thermal analysis, and efficiency optimisation for aviation use.
- Lead prototype development, including hardware bring-up, bench testing, and validation of converter performance.
- Support integration of power electronics with batteries, motors, generators, and the overall hybrid-electric system.
- Define HV distribution architecture : protection devices, bus segmentation, contactors, and safety logic.
- Document designs, validation results, test procedures, and compliance considerations for internal reviews.
What we're looking for
3+ years of experience in power electronics design, preferably in high-voltage or high-power systems.Strong knowledge of converter topologies (isolated / non-isolated), inverter design, and rectifier circuits.Proficiency with SiC / GaN devices, gate-drive design, magnetics selection, and switching optimisation.Hands-on experience with schematic design, multilayer PCB layout, and power-stage hardware development.Familiarity with HV safety, isolation, grounding, protection devices, and EMI / EMC considerations.Experience using simulation tools (PLECS, LTSpice, PSIM, or Simulink) for converter modelling.Ability to debug high-voltage hardware and evaluate performance through testing and instrumentation.Understanding of aerospace constraints : weight optimisation, thermal limits, harsh environments.Bonus : Experience in electric aircraft, UAV propulsion, automotive EV systems, or certifiable power systems.
