Mainstream Engineering Current openings


Electrical Engineers
Mainstream Engineering Corporation is a solutions-oriented research, development and manufacturing organization founded in 1986. Our mission is to develop and implement emerging technologies into military and private sector products that provide a technological advantage. Areas of expertise include thermal control, energy conversion, turbomachinery, chemical technology and materials science.

Due to continued growth, our firm is seeking the employ of talented electrical engineers in a variety of roles including Power Engineers & Controls Engineers.

Electrical Engineers play a critical role in developing electronics products related to thermal control and energy conversion. Successful candidates will provide innovative engineering in the design and layout of PCBs, programming of microcontrollers, and design/implementation of analog circuitry and testing.

Specific Duties and Competencies:

Power engineers will:
  • Develop electrical power generators up to 100 kW 
  • Design, prototype, test, and evaluate permanent magnet alternators and motors to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa. 
  • Design, layout, fabricate, and test power converters to control and regulate power from these devices.

Controls engineers will:
  • Develop electronic control equipment for thermal control and energy conversion equipment. 
  • Design, layout, fabricate, and test printed circuit boards and program controllers for a wide array of equipment. 
  • Have Responsibility for all electronics from the PCB to the mechanical equipment (starting circuits, capacitors, wire harnesses, etc.)

Education and Requirements

  • BS in electrical engineering required with a minimum GPA of 3.3
  • Internship experience required for entry level candidates
  • Proficient in C/C++
  • Experience programming various microcontrollers
  • Experience interfacing microcontrollers to peripherals
  • Experience with common microcontroller communication protocols
  • Knowledge of available electronic components and how to vet them for various applications
  • Knowledge of basic power supplies
  • United States Citizenship required due to US Government ITAR program restrictions

Interested parties should forward a resume, cover letter and unofficial copies of transcripts indicating a GPA not less than 3.3 in all degrees earned or pending to resume@mainstream-engr.com
