Description

Electrical Engineer – Power, Sensors & PCB Design Location: Ottawa, On-Site Reports to: Director of Hardware Engineering The role We are looking for Electrical Engineers with experience across power electronics, sensor integration, analog and digital circuit design, and PCB development. Our systems depend on reliable electrical architectures that can operate in demanding environments and support advanced sensing, communications, and autonomous capabilities. We are looking for engineers who can move comfortably between circuit design, PCB development, prototyping, testing, and system integration. You will work alongside multidisciplinary teams spanning hardware, embedded software, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and field operations to develop next-generation defence systems designed and built in Canada. This is a hands-on engineering role. You enjoy building, debugging, testing, and iterating quickly. Whether your background is in power electronics, sensor systems, mixed-signal design, PCB development, or electrical system integration, we want to hear from you. What you'll do Design analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronic circuits. Develop electrical architectures for sensing, communications, compute, and power distribution systems. Design, review, and validate schematics and PCBs for prototype and production hardware. Integrate sensors, embedded electronics, and communication interfaces into larger systems. Support battery systems, power management, charging, and power conversion architectures. Perform circuit simulation, validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis. Conduct laboratory, environmental, and field testing activities. Support prototype builds, low-volume manufacturing, and transition to production. Collaborate closely with embedded software, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams. Prepare technical documentation, test reports, and design reviews. What you bring Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline. Experience designing electronic circuits, electrical systems, or embedded hardware platforms. Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics fundamentals. Experience with schematic capture, PCB design, layout reviews, and hardware bring-up. Experience with sensors, signal conditioning, power electronics, embedded hardware, or communication systems. Familiarity with electrical engineering tools such as Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, LTspice, MATLAB, or similar. Experience using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills. Experience in one or more of the following areas is considered an asset: Power electronics and power conversion Battery management systems Sensor design and integration RF or wireless communications FPGA or embedded systems EMI/EMC design and testing High-speed digital design Design for manufacturing and low-volume production Comfortable working hands-on with prototypes and testing hardware in both lab and field environments. Familiar with AI tools and know how to best use them in engineering workflows. A pull toward startup pace, and toward the mission. We build for Canada's defence and sovereignty, and we want people who care that it gets done. No defence background required. We've hired people who didn't tick every box. If this is the work you want to do, please apply anyway. Why Join Us Building something meaningful starts with the right people. At Dominion Dynamics, you’ll: Shape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies. Make decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration. Move fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator — our systems are in the field with the CAF now. Have an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership. If you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong! Compensation & Benefits Competitive base salary and company equity Comprehensive health benefits Additional equity granted based on impact We use AI tools to support parts of the hiring process, including screening and reviewing responses. Final hiring decisions are always made by people and follow all applicable privacy and employment laws in Canada.
