Description

  • Own the electrical architecture for imaging payloads, including system partitioning and power, sensor, data, and interface electronics tradeoffs.
  • Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs for EO/IR sensor systems across analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power domains.
  • Translate sensor and system performance models into electrical requirements and refine requirements to keep the critical path focused.
  • Drive rapid prototype, bench characterization, iteration, and flight-ready hardware development cycles.
  • Design hardware for the space environment and own TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC analysis and testing.
  • Apply DFM/DFA principles from the first schematic to support manufacturability and low-rate production.
  • Lead board bring-up, lab debugging, integration, and troubleshooting during environmental and integration testing.
  • Partner with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to resolve integration issues and anomalies quickly.
  • Mentor other electrical engineers and serve as a technical anchor for design reviews and electronics decisions.
  • Document architectures, designs, analyses, and test results to support flight readiness and program reviews.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of electrical engineering experience spanning system-level architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for a complex electromechanical or sensor system.
  • Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience with deep schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency.
  • Proven ability to take hardware from architecture through bring-up, integration, and qualification.
  • Experience delivering hardware on aggressive timelines and in rapid, iterative design cycles.
  • Excellent engineering judgment and problem-solving ability under schedule pressure with incomplete information.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across a multidisciplinary engineering team.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Direct experience designing electronics for space, especially New Space or commercial-cadence programs that flew in a year or less (preferred).
  • Familiarity with radiation effects, rad-hard and rad-tolerant part selection, COTS-for-space approaches, TVAC, vibration, and EMI/EMC (preferred).
  • Experience with EO/IR, RF, optical, or other sensor and communication systems (preferred).
  • Experience designing for manufacturability and transitioning designs toward low-rate production (preferred).
  • Familiarity with MATLAB, Python, or C++ (preferred).
  • Understanding of system integration processes and workflows in aerospace or defense environments (preferred).
  • Experience mentoring engineers and leading design reviews (preferred).

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary of $165,000 to $218,000 USD.
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
  • Top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
  • Support for health, recovery, and other employee needs.
