TL;DR · Hardware Development Engineer, Launch Vehicle Integration - Electrical Engineering

Hardware Development Engineer, Launch Vehicle Integration - Electrical Engineering joins the team responsible for delivering launch vehicle integration flight and ground electrical interfaces. This role focuses on designing, developing, testing, and sustaining electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) to support satellite production, integration, and launch operations. The engineer will perform hands-on work including schematic design, PCBA development, harnessing, rack-level systems, hardware bring-up, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and logic analyzers. Key responsibilities involve performing electrical analyses like voltage drop and power distribution, managing configuration control for drawings and bills of material, and conducting acceptance testing. The role requires expertise in signal interfaces, high-speed circuit design, and potentially Python for automation. This position addresses the technical challenge of ensuring reliable ground support hardware for satellite constellation integration and launch vehicle operations.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop electrical ground support equipment including schematics, PCBAs, harnessing, and rack-level systems.
  • Troubleshoot hardware failures and integration issues using schematics, test documentation, and laboratory equipment.
  • Perform hardware bring-up, acceptance testing, and verification following established requirements and procedures.
  • Implement design changes to existing hardware to improve reliability and address component obsolescence.
  • Conduct electrical analyses for power distribution, voltage drop, current loading, and signal interfaces.
  • Manage engineering change activities including updates to bills of material, drawings, and test procedures.
  • Provide hands-on electrical support during satellite integration, testing, and launch operations.
  • Perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions for identified hardware issues.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience designing and debugging electrical hardware.
  • Experience designing and interpreting electrical schematics.
  • Hands-on experience using laboratory equipment like oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and logic analyzers.
  • Experience with electrical power distribution, signal interfaces, and electrical harnessing.
  • Experience bringing up, testing, and troubleshooting electrical hardware.
  • Experience developing technical documentation such as schematics, test procedures, and engineering drawings.
  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
