About this role:As a
Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be a core hardware design resource on a team that's ramping up multiple new board design efforts. You'll:
- Own detailed board design work, including new digital and analog designs supporting upcoming missions (including active work on new power supply designs, such as for the TASA mission).
- Be a technical face for electrical requirements, working cross-functionally with mechanical, systems, and program teams to deliver hardware that meets mission needs.
- Work across different bus protocols and get familiar with the electrical architecture of multiple space vehicle subsystems.
- Flex into electrical systems support when needed - helping with harness schematics, ICDs, or system-level electrical questions alongside your board design work.
- Collaborate closely with our existing hardware and electrical systems engineers to help cover a growing pipeline of new board designs kicked off across the team.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do hardware design full-time, but is also comfortable wearing an electrical systems hat when the mission calls for it.
Must Haves:- Strong, demonstrated experience in board design - you're comfortable owning a design from concept through delivery.
- Familiarity with different bus protocols used in space or embedded hardware systems.
- Working knowledge of space vehicle subsystems and how electrical hardware integrates into them.
- Comfortable acting as a technical point of contact for electrical requirements across teams.
- Ability and willingness to flex into electrical systems tasks (harness schematics, ICD review) as needed.
- Senior-level experience in electrical engineering, ideally with some FPGA exposure.
Nice to Haves:- Software/scripting capability - comfortable running scripts, debugging code, or managing an outside supplier delivering hardware with embedded software.
- Familiarity with CD&H (command and data handling) systems.
- Experience managing external suppliers or vendors delivering hardware/software components.
