Avionics Engineer

About the role

As an Avionics Engineer, you will have zero-to-one design ownership of electronic subsystems on our first spacecraft. You will be responsible for designing, building, testing, and improving reliable space-ready components. The ideal candidate will have strong experience working on spacecraft.

Responsibilities

• Own avionics system-level design & interfaces and make system-level trades
• Prototype, design, bring up, and validate flight computers, communication systems, and electronics for power systems and ADCS
• Establish best practices and tooling for electrical engineering design
• Develop in-house avionics test infrastructure – flatsat, GPS sim, power sim, comms sim, etc.
• Design and execute avionics qualification testing for vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum environments and own your hardware into flight operation

Qualifications

• You have 4–6 years of avionics or electronics engineering experience, ideally on spacecraft
• You’ve designed and validated PCBAs for the space environment or similar high-performance environments/vehicles
• You’ve owned multiple high-reliability electronics subsystems from concept to deployment
• You can succeed with a high level of autonomy
• You’ve iterated on requirements and architecture to achieve an optimal design in a highly constrained trade space
• You have experience hacking and crawling through electronics systems to troubleshoot issues

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds. We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.

Benefits

• Broad choice of medical/dental/vision coverage; Reflect covers 100% of each base-policy
• Access to HSA, FSA, and 401K
• Unlimited paid time off, two weeks per year encouraged
• Healthy lunches provided daily
