Whisper Aero, Nashville, Tennessee +1
Whisper Aero is looking for a Lead Power Electronics Engineer to own the development of the next generation of motor controllers and electronics that drive our propulsion systems. This is a unique opportunity to take technical ownership of a critical piece of our technology, lead a talented team of engineers, and help shape the future of electric aviation.
In this role, you'll lead the development of our motor controllers from initial concept through detailed design, prototyping, testing, and validation. You'll be responsible for the complete controller, spanning high voltage power electronics, embedded hardware, firmware, software, and system integration. You'll build and lead a multidisciplinary team, drive key technical decisions and work closely with our motor, propulsion, and systems engineering teams to deliver tightly integrated, high performance propulsion solutions.
We're looking for someone who combines deep technical expertise with the desire to build, lead, and deliver; someone who is as comfortable making critical architecture decisions as they are getting hands-on in the lab and solving challenging problems alongside their team. This is an opportunity to own a product from the ground up, push the boundaries of power electronics, and see your designs powering the next generation of aircraft.
