Senior Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, and verification on development and spaceflight hardware
• Design, simulate, and review mixed-signal circuits incorporating digital logic, analog interfaces, sensing, control, and on-board power conversion
• Design board-level power circuitry, including DC/DC converters, point-of-load regulation, power distribution, sequencing, and protection
• Support high-speed electrical designs (e.g., LVDS, Ethernet, SpaceWire, PCIe, or equivalent interfaces) with attention to signal integrity
• Support cable harness design and documentation
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, harnessing, and systems engineering to ensure robust hardware integration
• Support component selection (processors, FPGAs, memories, connectors, converters) with consideration for spaceflight environments
• Support and maintain a high quality ECAD component library
• Participate in test campaigns including functional, environmental, EMI/EMC, and system level testing

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• Minimum of 3 years of professional experience developing electrical hardware for aerospace, spaceflight, or other safety-critical systems
• Hands-on experience designing electrical systems, including schematic design and signal integrity aware layout considerations
• Good foundation in analog and digital circuit design, including power regulation, communications, sensing, and control
• Experience designing with data interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, RS-422, RS-485, CAN, Ethernet, USB, and SpaceWire
• Experience with board-level power design, including DC/DC conversion, point-of-load regulation, power sequencing, and protection circuits
• Hands-on experience supporting board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting
• Able to independently work on hardware designs and make sound engineering tradeoffs
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced hardware development environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering
• Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout coordination, and design release
• Experience with FPGA- or processor-based systems and embedded interfaces
• Experience with EMI/EMC design and mitigation
• Familiarity with aerospace or NASA standards, review processes, and documentation expectations
• Experience supporting NASA programs such as Artemis, ISS, Commercial Crew, or comparable missions
• Familiarity with high-reliability PCB design practices for harsh environments (thermal cycling, vibration, vacuum)
