Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics PCB Design

Valinor is a new type of defense and government tech company focused on solving the problems others don't. Our unique model of centralized go-to-market and decentralized engineering allows us to move with unparalleled efficiency to identify unmet needs, build right-sized solutions, and get products where they matter most, in the hands of users. Unlike others in the space, who focus on the flashy problems, Valinor exists to solve the quiet, unaddressed problems, the small but significant ones that lead to cracks in the country's strength, stability, and security.

Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Friends & Family Capital, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it.

About the RoleValinor Dispatch builds modular charging infrastructure that keeps unmanned systems (drones, ground robots, surface vessels) powered and operating autonomously in the field. We're seeking an Electrical Engineer specializing in power electronics and PCB design to own power flow for our AC/DC systems in low-voltage applications. This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who can take a design from prototype and proof of concept through production-ready manufacturing, working directly with our engineering team to build rugged, high-reliability power systems for austere environments. You'll own the board-level design for DC/DC conversion, protection, and health monitoring, and set the standard for power electronics quality as the team scales.

##

What You'll Do

• Own power flow for AC/DC systems and subsystems in low-voltage applications (<240VAC, <60VDC) across the power infrastructure for autonomous platforms including robots, drones, and surface vessels

• Design production-level PCBs for DC/DC converters, protection systems, and health monitoring built to survive austere environments

• Take designs from prototype and proof of concept through to production-ready manufacturing

• Design to EMI/EMC requirements for high-current, high-power systems (1kW to 50kW)

• Partner with mechanical, embedded, and systems engineers to integrate power electronics into complete autonomous charging platforms

• Build and validate prototypes, then drive the handoff to volume production

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in power electronics or electrical engineering with hands-on, production-level PCB design

• Proven track record designing DC/DC converters, protection systems, and health monitoring from schematic through manufacturing

• Familiarity with EMI/EMC requirements for high-current, high-power designs (1kW to 50kW)
