Electronics Designer, Space

What you'll do

• Own the electrical architecture for space-bound imaging payloads, including power, sensor, and interface electronics.
• Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs for analog, mixed-signal, FPGA, and power electronics.
• Translate sensor performance models into electrical requirements while identifying and removing non-critical requirements.
• Execute rapid design-build-test cycles to prototype, characterize, and iterate on hardware for flight readiness.
• Design hardware for space environments and lead analysis for radiation, thermal, vacuum, vibration, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Implement design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) to ensure scalable production of hardware.
• Perform hands-on board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting using standard laboratory bench equipment.
• Mentor junior engineers and serve as the technical decision-making anchor for the electronics scope.

What we're looking for

• 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering spanning system-level architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test.
• A degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for complex electromechanical or sensor systems.
• Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience with schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency.
• Proven ability to take hardware from architecture through bring-up, integration, and qualification including hands-on lab debug.
• Experience delivering hardware on aggressive timelines and working in rapid, iterative design cycles.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Direct experience designing electronics for space, especially New Space programs that flew hardware in a year or less (preferred).
