Manager, Electrical Engineering, Avionics leads the electrical engineering team for the satellite avionics bus. This technical leadership role involves managing the full product lifecycle of hardware subsystems, including flight computers, propulsion controllers, and solar array systems. The manager oversees execution for avionics hardware development, coordinates with cross-functional teams to define requirements, and manages processes like architecture reviews, circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout. Key responsibilities include guiding the team through trade studies, component selection, prototyping, and qualification testing for space applications. Candidates must possess expertise in high-speed multi-layer PCBA designs, ECAD tools, and components such as FPGAs, microprocessors, and power supplies. The role addresses the technical challenge of developing reliable, power-efficient electronics capable of enduring space environments while ensuring robust performance during vehicle integration, testing, and on-orbit operations.

What you'll do

  • Lead the execution of avionics hardware development for the satellite bus.
  • Define subsystem requirements in collaboration with cross-functional hardware and software teams.
  • Manage engineering processes including architecture, design, build release, and flight review cycles.
  • Guide the electrical engineering team through circuit design, PCB layout, prototyping, and productization.
  • Develop and execute test plans to ensure robust electrical designs for space applications.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert for hardware health telemetry during testing and on-orbit operations.
  • Oversee the development of flight computers, propulsion controllers, and solar array systems.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, or 3+ years of management/team lead experience.
  • 7+ years designing and testing complex, multi-layer, high-speed PCBA designs.
  • 7+ years in hardware development across the full product life cycle in relevant industries like Aerospace or Robotics.
  • Experience with schematic and layout ECAD tools.
  • Experience with PCB design and debugging including microprocessors, FPGAs, power supplies, and sensors.
  • Experience with complex board designs involving high-speed interconnects, avionics, and vehicle control systems.
