Job details
Job description
is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to support the design, analysis, and development of flight hardware for space-based payloads and related systems. This role involves electrical architecture, schematic and layout design, firmware development, and prototype testing. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in space electronics and a passion for building reliable systems that operate in challenging environments.
Responsibilities:
Develop and refine electrical requirements for space payloads and flight hardware
Design and analyze electrical systems including digital processing, power distribution, signal integrity, and interface control
Develop software & firmware to support embedded systems and payload functionality
Develop test hardware and software for integration and testing of flight hardware
Oversee prototype hardware development, integration, and testing
Collaborate with systems engineering and cross-disciplinary teams (mechanical, thermal, optical, etc.) to ensure system-level performance
Prepare electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and documentation for procurement and manufacturing
Support environmental testing and qualification of flight hardware
Manage configuration control of released designs and firmware
Conduct trade studies and present design review materials to internal and external stakeholders
Job requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; Master's preferred
10+ years of experience in electrical design and analysis for space systems or high-reliability environments
Proficiency in industry-standard tools for schematic capture, PCB layout, and electrical analysis
Experience with firmware development for embedded systems
Proficient with test equipment such as lab bench power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers
Familiarity with space environmental constraints and testing (thermal vacuum, radiation, EMI/EMC)
Strong documentation and communication skills
Preferred Experience:
Experience with payload electronics, RF systems, or power systems for space applications
Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication and test
Familiarity with industry standards such as: IPC-2221 (Generic Standard on Printed Board Design), IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) NASA-STD-8739.1 (Workmanship for Electronic Assemblies), NASA-STD-8739.4 (Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses), NASA-STD-8739.6 (Electrostatic Discharge Control)
