About The Role
As a Senior Avionics Engineer, you will have zero to one design ownership of electronic subsystems on our first spacecraft. The ideal candidate will have experience working on spacecraft.
Responsibilities
- Own avionics system-level design & interfaces and make system-level trades.
- Prototype, design, bring up and validate flight computers, communication systems, and electronics for power systems and ADCS.
- Establish best practices and tooling for electrical engineering design
- Develop in-house avionics test infrastructure – flatsat, GPS sim, power sim, comms sim, etc.
- Design and execute avionics qualification testing for vibration, shock, thermal and thermal vacuum environments and own your hardware into flight operation
Ideal Qualifications
- You’ve designed and validated PCBAs for the space environment or similar high performance environments/vehicles.
- You’ve owned multiple high-reliability electronics subsystems from concept to deployment
- You can succeed with a high level of autonomy.
- You’ve iterated on requirements and architecture to achieve an optimal design in a highly constrained trade space
- You have experience hacking and crawling through electronics systems to troubleshoot issues
Nice-to-have
- Experience with RF and power electronics.
