Long Wall Company was created in 2024 to accelerate missile defense technology for the U.S. and our allies. We specialize in ballistic missile defense and are developing Cyclops, a low-cost, mass-producible interceptor. We also produce containerized launchers and offer low-cost targets for threat replication. The future of global security depends on defensive technology that redefines cost, magazine depth, and distribution to deter and defend against evolving threats. Join us.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Mission-Driven Problem Solvers – The problems in missile defense demand ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.
Total Ownership – We seek engineers who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.
Principal Power Electronics Engineer
As a Power Electronics Engineer, you will lead the development, design, build, and commissioning of power conversion systems at Long Wall to support product tests, operations, and launches. You will have the opportunity to be a key member of a small team of mechanical, fluid, and electrical engineers working to develop innovative deployable launch solutions that enable the rapid deployment of Long Wall launch and test systems. This individual will be responsible for electrical design, testing, and integration from concept to production, ensuring alignment with strategic business goals. The engineer could also be involved in managing key vendor relationships and ensuring performance and reliability in our cutting-edge launch technologies. This is a role that contributes to every mission and every flight we fly as we continue to reimagine the future of missile defense systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Serve as a subject matter expert for power conversion activities within your assigned product(s).
- Develop electrical architecture, specification, component selection, circuit board design, implementation, verification, board bring-up, and debugging.
- Partner with software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing teams, and production test teams.
- Derive engineering justification to resolve production issues throughout assembly, test, and vehicle integration
- Lead design reviews and generate documentation, including schematics, specifications, and test reports.
- Plan and execute development and qualification testing, analyzing data to verify performance and reliability.
