Career Opportunities with Special Aerospace Services
Aurex is a mission-focused aerospace and defense company building the next frontier of deterrence. From hypersonics and missile defense to hardened networks and orbital systems, we design, test, and deliver the platforms that turn unproven ideas into battlefield-ready capability.
Born in Huntsville and built for speed, Aurex brings together aerospace veterans, combat-tested operators, and forward-leaning technologists to solve problems that matter—fast. We move from whiteboard to warfighter with precision, clarity, and zero tolerance for fluff.
Job Overview Aurex Defense is seeking a talented and experienced Electrical Engineer to join our team. You'll be at the forefront of developing innovative hardware solutions for next-generation spacecraft, aircraft, and robotic systems. This role requires a combination of technical expertise and problem-solving skills to contribute to innovative projects.
Responsibilities
Conduct market surveys, feasibility studies and create detailed design concepts
Conduct trade studies and perform design optimization
Design and develop electrical components and systems for space, aircraft, or robotic applications
Create and manage detailed circuit schematics, PCB layouts, and simulations using tools such as Altium or similar software
Perform electrical analysis on systems, including power integrity, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC, to ensure performance in harsh environments
Support prototyping, testing, and validation of electrical systems, iterating designs based on test results, with hands‑on lab troubleshooting using tools like oscilloscopes
Develop and maintain test plans and procedures
Oversee manufacturing and assembly processes for PCBs and electronic assemblies
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including mechanical engineers, software engineers, and project managers
Qualifications
Only U.S. citizen with the ability to obtain a security clearance will be considered.
Work in person at our corporate headquarters in Huntsville AL
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with relevant experience in the industry
Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or relevant field with experience in applying your knowledge to real‑world systems
2-5 years of industry experience in electrical design and development
Proven experience in designing hardware for space, aircraft, or robotic systems
Extensive knowledge of circuit design software and simulation tools
Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills
Preferred Qualifications
Strong background in circuit design and power electronics, including switch‑mode power supply design, battery systems, and Li‑Po battery management
Proficiency in circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, LTSpice) and hands‑on lab testing/troubleshooting with oscilloscopes and other diagnostic equipment
Experience implementing microcontrollers and communication protocols such as serial, RS232/485, I2C, SPI, and Ethernet
Knowledge of manufacturing processes for electronics (e.g., PCB fabrication, soldering, assembly)
Experience with rapid prototyping techniques for circuits and systems
What we offer
The opportunity to work on cutting‑edge spacecraft, aircraft and robotics systems with real‑world impact.
A collaborative and fast‑paced work environment with passionate engineers.
Top‑tier salary and benefits package.
Continuous learning and growth opportunities
How You Will Be Rewarded The salary range for this position is 110,000-160,000 annually. We offer a comprehensive total rewards approach to compensation, providing incentives and benefits that extend far beyond the base salary. Compensation is determined by the candidate’s work experience, education, training, and relevant skills. We offer a competitive benefits package designed to support our employees' health, well‑being, and professional growth.
Aurex is an Equal Opportunity Employer. It prohibits discrimination, retaliation, or any type of harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, citizenship, immigration status, or any other legally protected status in employment, including in hiring, firing, and recruiting decisions. All applicants must be authorized to work lawfully in the United States for positions at Aurex. There may be limited circumstances in which a law, regulation, executive order, or government contract would require certain citizenship; only in those limited circumstances would Aurex require certain citizenship status to comply with the relevant law, regulation, executive order, or government contract applicable to that position. For all other positions, Aurex does not consider an applicant’s citizenship but only requires that the applicant be authorized to work lawfully in the United States. If a position is one that falls under export control laws and regulations requiring authorization from the U.S. government to access export‑controlled items, any hiring is contingent on the applicant passing the export compliance assessment, which is separate from the I‑9 process, for that specific position. A background check will be required prior to any hire.
