About the role

Avionics Integration Engineer responsible for hands-on integration, wiring, and test setup of spacecraft avionics systems, ensuring robust wiring harnesses and reliable test environments for flight and ground systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design, route, and review wiring harnesses for flight and ground test applications, ensuring compliance with space-grade standards (e.g., ECSS-Q-ST-70-61C, NASA-STD-8739.4A).
  • Develop and maintain detailed harness and wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, and integration documentation.
  • Plan and execute the integration of avionics hardware onto spacecraft, including power systems, data buses, sensors, and communication interfaces.
  • Own the setup, maintenance, and operation of hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test tables and avionics system testbeds.
  • Collaborate with electronics, software, structures, propulsion, and manufacturing teams to define and implement integration and test procedures.
  • Support integrated vehicle operations, including writing work instructions, maintaining test racks, and being present for major vehicle avionics tests.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues during development, integration, and testing phases, driving corrective actions and design improvements.
  • Ensure all wiring and harness assemblies meet quality and reliability requirements for space environments, including proper material selection, routing, tie-downs, and inspection.
  • Assist in developing day-of-flight procedures and sequences for avionics health checks, charging, and launch operations.
  • Support customer payload integration and provide technical assistance during on-site activities.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in avionics integration, wiring harness design, or related aerospace hardware roles.
  • Proficiency with modeling & electrical CAD tools (e.g. NX, OnShape, Altium, Eagle, KiCAD) and experience creating harness and wiring diagrams.
  • Hands-on experience with avionics system integration, electrical assembly, and test setups for aerospace or similarly demanding applications.
  • Strong understanding of electrical system architecture, power distribution, data buses (CAN, RS-422, Ethernet, SpaceWire), and communication protocols.
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear work instructions, integration procedures, and test plans.
  • Familiarity with space-grade wiring standards and quality control processes (e.g., IPC J-STD-001, NASA-STD-8739.4A).
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills; ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
