Mil/Aerospace Industry: A Unique Environment For Power Electronics Engineers

Focus:

Reliability is a factor in the design of any power supply. If the power supply fails, the system goes down. In some applications, a system failure might merely cause inconvenience or a loss of business. But in military and aerospace applications, a failure of the power system could be life-threatening, or endanger the mission. So given its critical role in these applications, it’s natural that the associated power electronics design jobs present unique engineering challenges as well as unique hiring challenges. Engineers with design experience in power electronics will be better equipped to take advantage of opportunities in this industry, if they understand the employers’ requirements and expectations.
