About this role

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will be a core hardware design resource on a team ramping up multiple new board design efforts. You will:

  • Own detailed board design work, including new digital and analog designs supporting upcoming missions, such as active work on new power supply designs for the TASA mission.
  • Be a technical point of contact 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 become familiar with the electrical architecture of multiple space vehicle subsystems.
  • Provide electrical systems support when needed, including harness schematics, ICDs, or system-level electrical questions alongside board design work.
  • Collaborate closely with existing hardware and electrical systems engineers to cover a growing pipeline of new board designs.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do hardware design full-time, but is also comfortable wearing an electrical systems hat when the mission calls for it.

Requirements

  • Strong, demonstrated experience in board 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.
  • Comfortable acting as a technical point of contact for electrical requirements across teams.
  • Ability and willingness to flex into electrical systems tasks such as harness schematics and ICD review.
  • Senior-level experience in electrical engineering, ideally with some FPGA exposure.

Nice to have

  • Software or scripting capability for running scripts, debugging code, or managing external suppliers delivering hardware with embedded software.
  • Familiarity with CD&H (command and data handling) systems.
  • Experience managing external suppliers or vendors delivering hardware and software components.

Benefits

  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.
  • Flexible Spending (FSA) and Health Savings (HSA) accounts with employer HSA contribution.
  • 100% employer-paid life, AD&D, short-term, and long-term disability insurance.
  • Flexible time off for vacation and sick leave, plus 12 paid holidays.
  • 401(k) plan and equity options.
  • Daily catered lunches and snacks in office.
  • International exposure to team in France.
  • Fully paid parental leave: 14 weeks for birthing parent, 10 weeks for non-birthing parent.
  • Carrot Fertility provides comprehensive fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits.
  • Off-sites and social events.
  • Relocation assistance when applicable.
