Fisica is Fisica Applied Technologies, Inc. , a multi‑unit engineering and manufacturing company that designs and builds defense and high‑energy technology products. The company specializes in airborne and ground antennas, full‑motion pointing/tracking antenna systems, electromagnetic systems and simulators, flash X‑ray and high‑power pulse systems, E‑beam sterilization equipment, and ruggedized batteries and avionics for launch vehicles and satellites. With more than six decades of experience and business units serving defense primes, government agencies (including NASA and Space Force), OEMs, laboratories, and industrial and medical customers, Fisica focuses on mission‑critical, high‑reliability hardware and systems for demanding operational environments.

📋 Description

• Own the design, simulation, prototyping, & testing of pulsed power systems driving different loads. • Work with product management, business development, & engineers to define technical requirements. • Propose & develop novel architectures for pulsed power systems based on solid state building blocks. • Lead a team in system prototyping, benchtop testing, and major field tests. • Perform circuit analysis & electrostatic simulation to predict performance & validate test results. • Apply scientific scrutiny to test results to interpret data, draw conclusions, and determine next steps. • Collaborate with partners to integrate the pulsed power driver with x-ray or high power microwave loads. • Communicate results of experiments or simulations to the team or customers. • Ensure lab safety protocols are followed.

🎯 Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or related field, and 10 years of experience. • Highly skilled at experimental lab work, especially with pulsed power circuits and diagnostics (voltage > 50 kV, high current, < 500 ns pulse widths). • Experienced in setting up a lab or manufacturing environment from scratch including data acquisition. • Highly experienced in circuit simulations and using measured data to validate/improve the simulations. • Experienced in troubleshooting equipment such as vacuum systems, pressurized gas systems, data acquisition systems (sensors/monitors, oscilloscopes, delay generators etc), & electrical systems. • Familiar with solid state switching devices and systems, how they can be used to achieve a desired waveform, and when it makes sense to use spark gap switching or other non-solid state options. • Experience with High Power Microwave HPM systems. • Comfortable with data analysis of physical time series data. • Driven by technical curiosity and an eagerness to learn, self-driven to iterate quickly. • Productive both while working alone in a lab on some days or collaborating with colleagues other days. • Excellent communication in oral and written technical English. • Enjoy figuring out how things work, taking things apart and putting back together. • Detail oriented and able to stay focused on an end objective even while exploring development paths. • Willing to take short trips on a regular basis to Bay Area, CA and Albuquerque, NM, if not based in CA. • The ability to obtain and maintain a future Security Clearance is required for the role. • Eligibility requires U.S. citizenship.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package! • Generous paid time off. • 401k with 6% match and vesting is immediate. • Strong work-life balance. • Tuition Reimbursement. • Paid paternal leave. • Relocation stipend. • EAP. • Company-paid holidays.
