What the job involves

• True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground
• True Anomaly is seeking a talented and driven Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as the primary technical and programmatic interface between our Avionics Components engineering team and the Program Office
• You will be the connective tissue that keeps vertically integrated avionics development aligned, on schedule, and delivering against program and customer requirements
• You will own requirements decomposition and flow-down across avionics subsystems, drive ICD development, lead technical and programmatic trade studies, and represent Avionics Components team interests in wider engineering forums
• You bring strong electrical engineering fundamentals, systems thinking, and the organizational discipline to keep complex, multi-discipline hardware programs moving with clarity and confidence. This is a high-visibility role that directly shapes how the Avionics team executes and grows
• Own requirements decomposition and flow-down across the Avionics Components engineering team, ensuring traceability from customer and program-level requirements to subsystem and component specifications
• Develop, maintain, and negotiate interface control documents (ICDs) between avionics subsystems and broader spacecraft systems, including power, software, RF, and payloads
• Serve as the primary interface between the Avionics Components team and the Program Office, translating technical status, risks, and needs into clear programmatic communication
• Interpret and adjudicate customer specifications, identifying areas of risk, ambiguity, or non-compliance and driving resolution with engineering and program stakeholders
• Lead technical and programmatic trade studies across avionics subsystems, synthesizing inputs from EPS, digital systems, FPGA, RF, and harness teams to produce clear recommendations
• Facilitate sprint planning, milestone tracking, and schedule development in coordination with the Program Office, keeping the Avionics Components team on track and dependencies visible
• Assist the Avionics Components team leadership in roadmap planning, ensuring near-term deliverables and long-term development priorities are clearly defined and resourced
• Represent Avionics Components team interests in cross-functional engineering meetings, design reviews, and customer engagements
• Identify and track technical and programmatic risks, driving mitigation plans in collaboration with the engineering team and Program Office
• Develop and maintain Avionics program documentation including technical plans, schedules, review packages, and status reports
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving
