Electrical Engineer II, Systems

YOUR MISSION

The Electrical Engineer II, Systems will support the design, analysis, testing, and integration of spacecraft electrical systems for complex space missions. You'll contribute to all phases of the spacecraft development lifecycle, from initial concept and requirements definition through integration, test, and on-orbit operations. This role offers the opportunity to tackle challenging technical problems, develop innovative engineering solutions, and grow your expertise in spacecraft electrical systems while making a direct impact on missions critical to space security and sustainability.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support spacecraft electrical systems engineering activities, including concept development, requirements analysis, trade studies, interface definition, and verification planning
• Contribute to the design, development, and verification of electrical systems with a focus on power distribution, signal integrity, and component selection
• Collaborate with cross-functional spacecraft engineering teams to support system-level integration and mission objectives
• Assist in the development and maintenance of requirements management processes and documentation
• Participate in integration and test activities including subsystem and system-level testing, developing and executing test procedures, performing functional verification, troubleshooting hardware anomalies, and supporting root cause analysis and corrective action implementation
• Conduct analysis tasks such as power budgets, thermal analysis, and basic radiation effects assessment
• Support the development of test procedures and contribute to design verification activities
• Document design decisions, analysis results, and test findings

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, physical sciences, or related technical field
• 2-5 years of relevant engineering experience in aerospace, defense, or related high-reliability industries
• Working knowledge of spacecraft electrical systems and subsystems
• Experience with electrical design principles, circuit analysis, and system-level thinking
• Familiarity with requirements management and engineering documentation practices
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment
• Proficiency with standard electrical engineering tools (e.g., SPICE simulation, CAD tools, analysis software)
