Electrical Engineer (Payload Systems)

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our payload hardware team. In this role, you will design, development, and integrate electrical systems that power and control our payload as well as work closely with engineers from other subsystems to integrate your designs

This is a hands-on, collaborative role where you’ll assist with electrical design, testing, and debugging in the lab, while gaining experience in assembly, integration and system test processes. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team that’s building cutting-edge technology for space

Develop Flight Hardware: Design and develop electrical subsystems, including payload electronics, power distribution systems, and interconnect solutions. Source and test electrical components to ensure they can survive the harshness of space

Own the Design Cycle: Take a design from concept to schematic capture and PCB layout design. Conduct multi-disciplinary design reviews. Develop and execute electrical test plans

Be Hands on in the Lab: Troubleshoot and debug electrical systems in a lab environment using test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power meters)

Document Your Design: Maintain engineering documentation and develop electrical interface documents for satellite subsystems

Support Integration: See design through assembly, integration, and test activities, including system-level testing, validation, and integration onto the satellite

Fundamental understanding of electronics, power systems, layout, and signal integrity

Experience with embedded systems and peripheral interfaces (e.g, I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet, etc)

B.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field

Hands-on experience with electrical testing and debugging (e.g. oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power meters)

Familiarity with electrical design and simulation tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, Spice)

3-5 years of experience taking designs from schematic to layout, manufacturing and system integration

A collaborative, team-oriented mindset and the ability to communicate effectively

Attention to design details and eagerness to always improve design process and rigor

A passion for learning and growing in the aerospace industry

Working knowledge of space radiation effects and space design practices

Exposure to satellite systems, bus avionics or payload electronics

Design experience with FPGAs and MCUs
