Senior Electrical Engineer, Systems Integration

<p>Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.</p>

<p><u>OUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.</p>

<p><u>OUR VALUES</u></p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Be the offset.</strong>&nbsp;We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.</li>

<li><strong>What would it take?</strong>&nbsp;We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.</li>

<li><strong>It’s the people.</strong>&nbsp;Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.</li>

</ul><p><u>YOUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>As a Staff Electrical Engineer, you will be a senior technical leader responsible for driving avionics architecture decisions and owning the design, development, and delivery of flight-critical electronic assemblies for True Anomaly's spacecraft. You will shape how our avionics systems are defined, integrated, and proven — bridging board-level design with system-level thinking to deliver hardware that meets the demands of space.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Lead avionics architecture definition and trade studies, driving decisions on processing, data transport, power distribution, and redundancy that shape the spacecraft electrical system&nbsp;</li>

<li>Own the end-to-end design of complex electronic assemblies — from requirements capture, schematic design, and&nbsp;component&nbsp;selection&nbsp;through prototyping, bring-up, debugging, and release to production&nbsp;</li>

<li>Collaborate with system architecture development across cross-functional teams including software, GNC, propulsion, and systems engineering&nbsp;</li>

<li>Lead preliminary and critical design reviews for avionics subsystems, ensuring designs meet program requirements and spacecraft-level performance goals&nbsp;</li>

<li>Conduct and review&nbsp;derating&nbsp;analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for flight hardware&nbsp;</li>

<li>Define and drive interface control between avionics boards and other spacecraft subsystems, including power, RF, payloads, and harness&nbsp;</li>

<li>Perform system-level integration of avionics hardware and software, including embedded firmware interfaces and communication buses&nbsp;</li>

<li>Perform first article testing, unit-level testing, and production testing of avionics assemblies&nbsp;</li>

<li>Support hardware through production, integration, launch, and on-orbit commissioning&nbsp;</li>

<li>Define validation approaches and create development and qualification&nbsp;testing&nbsp;campaigns to exercise designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware&nbsp;</li>

<li>Drive compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and quality assurance processes across the avionics subsystem&nbsp;</li>

<li>Develop and&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;documentation for avionics systems and components, including design specifications, interface control documents, test plans, and operating procedures&nbsp;</li>

<li>Mentor junior engineers to improve design skill sets and increase capabilities within the organization&nbsp;</li>

<li>Continuously&nbsp;improve&nbsp;electrical engineering processes and practices to drive innovation and efficiency&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>QUALIFICATIONS</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering&nbsp;or related field&nbsp;</li>

<li>Minimum 10 years of experience in electrical engineering&nbsp;</li>

<li>Demonstrated spacecraft flight heritage — experience designing, building, and delivering electronic hardware that has&nbsp;operated&nbsp;on orbit&nbsp;</li>

<li>Experience with embedded firmware development and hardware/firmware co-design&nbsp;</li>

<li>Advanced experience in PCB and PCBA design using Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools&nbsp;</li>

<li>Experience with system-level avionics architecture, including processing, power distribution, data interfaces, and redundancy schemes&nbsp;</li>

<li>Strong understanding of common spacecraft communication interfaces (RS-422/RS-485, SPI, I2C,&nbsp;SpaceWire, Ethernet)&nbsp;</li>

<li>Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex technical efforts and drive them to completion&nbsp;</li>

<li>Excellent communication and interpersonal skills&nbsp;</li>
