Teams at Salient Motion

Lead architecture, design, integration, and verification of high-power converters and inverters exceeding 10 kW for aerospace motion and electrical systems. Responsibilities include power-stage and gate-drive design, thermal and EMI/EMC strategy, high-voltage PCB design, prototype bring-up, lab testing, root-cause analysis, verification documentation, supplier selection, and manufacturing transition. Collaborate with controls, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver reliable, mission-ready hardware.

Lead full-lifecycle development of mission-critical electromechanical and aerospace hardware, from requirements definition and precision mechanism design through prototyping, assembly, testing, and qualification. Design actuators, mechanisms, and ruggedized avionics enclosures; perform strength, fatigue, and lifecycle analyses; create SolidWorks models and GD&T drawings; qualify hardware to DO-160 and MIL-STD-810; coordinate suppliers, resolve manufacturing deviations, and support cross-functional integration.

Plans, writes, and executes mechanical qualification, acceptance, durability, and environmental test campaigns for actuators and integrated LRUs. Designs test fixtures, instrumentation, load setups, and data acquisition configurations; analyzes test data and mechanical failure modes; and drives corrective actions with design engineering. Coordinates outsourced labs, customer acceptance testing, schedules, witness points, and requirements under DO-160G and MIL-STD-810H. Supports development of an in-house qualification laboratory and requires international travel.
