About the role

Electronics Designer responsible for the electrical architecture and flight-ready electronics of space-bound imaging payloads, driving end-to-end design from concept through qualification and flight, with a focus on rapid development cycles and manufacturability for space systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own the electrical architecture for imaging payloads, partitioning the system, defining power, sensor, data, and interface electronics, and driving architectural tradeoffs (COTS vs. rad-hard, performance vs. schedule vs. cost) that enable a rapid path to orbit.
  • Lead the design, layout, bring-up, and qualification of PCBAs spanning analog, mixed-signal, FPGAs, and power electronics for EO/IR sensor systems.
  • Translate sensor and system performance models into electrical requirements, and push back on requirements that don't earn their place on the critical path.
  • Drive rapid design-build-test cycles: prototype quickly, characterize on the bench, iterate on real hardware, and converge on flight-ready designs without unnecessary cycles.
  • Design for the space environment (radiation, thermal extremes, vacuum, vibration, and launch loads) and own the analysis and testing (TVAC, vibe, EMI/EMC) that proves it.
  • Bake in design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) from the first schematic so designs scale cleanly toward low-rate production as programs mature.
  • Lead board bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting in the lab and during environmental and integration testing, using standard bench equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, DMMs, etc.).
  • Partner closely with firmware, optics, mechanical, systems, and program teams to drive integration and close out anomalies fast.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to other electrical engineers, and serve as a design-review and decision-making anchor for the electronics scope.
  • Document architectures, designs, analyses, and test results to a standard that supports flight readiness and program reviews.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering spanning system-level architecture, electronics design, and hands-on test, with a track record of owning designs end to end.
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated ownership of electronics architecture for a complex electromechanical or sensor system, including the tradeoff decisions that shaped it.
  • Strong analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics design experience, with deep schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency.
  • Proven ability to take hardware from architecture through bring-up, integration, and qualification — including hands-on debug in the lab.
  • Experience delivering hardware on aggressive timelines and working in rapid, iterative design cycles.
  • Excellent engineering judgment, problem-solving, and the ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across a multidisciplinary engineering team.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
