- Be a technical face for electrical requirements working cross-functionally with mechanical systems and program teams to deliver hardware that meets mission needs.
- Work across different bus protocols and get familiar with the electrical architecture of multiple space vehicle subsystems.
- Flex into electrical systems support when needed - helping with harness schematics ICDs or system-level electrical questions alongside your board design work.
- Collaborate closely with our existing hardware and electrical systems engineers to help cover a growing pipeline of new board designs kicked off across the team.
Must Haves:
- Strong demonstrated experience in board design - youre comfortable owning a design from concept through delivery.
- Familiarity with different bus protocols used in space or embedded hardware systems.
- Working knowledge of space vehicle subsystems and how electrical hardware integrates into them.
