Description

  • Rapidly develop high-reliability avionics components for Starship and Super Heavy.
  • Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test.
  • Develop analog and digital circuits from first principles to meet design requirements in extreme environments.
  • Design acceptance and qualification testing campaigns and exercise designs to their limits.
  • Support hardware through production, integration, and flight.
  • Collaborate with experts across EEE, EMI, radiation, and production teams, as well as propulsion, structures, and GNC departments, to improve system efficiency, manufacturability, and reliability.
  • Challenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or mechanical engineering.
  • 1+ years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics; personal projects, research, internships, and extracurricular academic projects qualify.
  • Passion for spaceflight and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications (preferred).
  • Excitement for making systems smarter, better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable (preferred).
  • Experience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources (preferred).
  • Experience developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware (preferred).
  • Experience with analog circuit design, analog signal chains, sensor signal conditioning, or hardware filter design (preferred).
  • Experience with Ethernet, including single-pair Ethernet, network switches, microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory chips, or general networking concepts (preferred).
  • Experience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, motor inverters, input filters, or EMI/EMC compliance (preferred).
  • Experience with digital signal processing, analog control loops, or control loop stability (preferred).
  • Experience with circuit board layout for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications where signal integrity is critical (preferred).
  • Experience with high voltage systems, lithium-ion batteries, solid state load switches, or power distribution optimization (preferred).
  • Experience with circuit board design for manufacture and productization of electronics (preferred).
  • Experience automating hardware development functions, such as scripting benchtop equipment or accelerating analysis or simulation (preferred).
  • Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical projects and mission milestones.
  • Must meet ITAR eligibility requirements as a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, asylee, or otherwise eligible for required U.S. Department of State authorizations.
