Mach Industries is seeking a New Graduate Electrical & Avionics Engineer to support the design, development, integration, and testing of electrical systems for next-generation autonomous defense platforms. In this role, you will work across circuit-board design, avionics, power distribution, communications, vehicle harnessing, and hardware testing to take systems from early prototypes through flight-ready production hardware.

You will collaborate closely with mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, and test engineers to rapidly build, troubleshoot, and validate reliable electrical systems. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who wants broad technical ownership, learns quickly, and is excited to build critical hardware in a fast-paced environment.

What you'd do

  • Design and develop electrical and avionics systems for autonomous aircraft, missiles, propulsion systems, and related defense platforms.
  • Support schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout, stack-up design, and board bring-up.
  • Design circuits incorporating microcontrollers, high- and low-speed communication buses, analog and digital interfaces, sensors, power distribution, EMI protection, and ESD protection.
  • Develop flight avionics, guidance and control electronics, communications systems, power electronics, and supporting test hardware.
  • Design and integrate vehicle wiring harnesses, connectors, sensors, actuators, and electrical interfaces.
  • Build prototypes and conduct bench-level, subsystem, and vehicle-level testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads, and other laboratory equipment.
  • Troubleshoot electrical hardware, identify root causes, and implement design or process improvements.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, environmental testing, system integration, and flight or field-test activities.
  • Develop and maintain schematics, drawings, bills of materials, test procedures, design documentation, and product specifications.
  • Partner with mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, and test teams to ensure electrical components integrate successfully into the overall vehicle.

What they want

  • Bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Graduating by December 2026
  • Electrical or avionics experience gained through internships, research, academic projects, student competition teams, or professional roles.
  • Foundational understanding of analog and digital electronics, circuit design, power systems, and electrical interfaces.
  • Experience with schematic capture or PCB design software such as Altium Designer, Cadence, KiCad, or an equivalent tool.
  • Hands-on experience building, testing, debugging, or integrating electrical hardware.
  • Ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines in a fast-paced, hardware-focused environment.
  • Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
  • Competitive Salaries: We continuously research market rates to ensure our salaries are competitive with those in our industry and geographic location.
  • Performance-Based Incentives: Our bonus structure is tied to both individual and company performance, creating a win-win scenario that motivates our team members to excel.
