About this role

<p><strong>Katalyst Description:</strong></p>

<p>Katalyst is an American technology company&nbsp;focused on dynamic space operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are building a fleet of&nbsp;dual-use multipurpose&nbsp;robotic space vehicles&nbsp;to&nbsp;create the&nbsp;future where maneuvering, upgrading, refueling,&nbsp;resupply&nbsp;and exploration are as routine as they are on Earth. Getting to space and overcoming the gravity well is only half the story. What you do there is the future. We are not building the trains. We are building the machines that lay down the tracks. By developing the foundational capabilities that make sustained, responsive operations possible, we enable a new era of space&nbsp;exploration&nbsp;that strengthens national security and ensures freedom of action in an increasingly contested domain.<br><br></p>

<p><strong>Katalyst Culture:</strong></p>

<p>Working at Katalyst is intense, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. You’ll take real ownership and see your work move from concept to operations in an environment where the problems are hard and the impact is real. We value humility, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way, even when it’s harder. You’ll work closely with thoughtful, driven teammates who push each other to do their best.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>What&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;Do</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<ul>

<li>Contribute directly to the design, analysis, development, integration, test, and operation of spacecraft electrical and avionics systems, including power, embedded electronics, sensors, interfaces, and flight hardware.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Own well-scoped electrical engineering problems from requirements and concept development through schematic design,&nbsp;component&nbsp;selection, analysis, PCB or harness interface definition, integration, test, documentation, and closure with support from senior engineers.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Work hands-on with schematics, boards, flight hardware, sensors, harnesses, bench equipment, oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, simulation tools, and hardware-in-the-loop environments rather than&nbsp;operating&nbsp;only at the analysis or documentation layer.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Participate in design reviews, board bring-up, hardware builds, integration activities, test campaigns, anomaly investigations, and mission-readiness activities; communicate electrical performance, risks, assumptions, and decisions clearly.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Collaborate across mechanical, GNC, propulsion, software, systems, manufacturing, and mission operations to understand electrical interfaces and system-level impacts on spacecraft performance.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Build engineering judgment by comparing circuit calculations, simulations, power budgets, signal expectations, and interface assumptions against bench, integration, and hardware data,&nbsp;identifying&nbsp;discrepancies, and iterating toward reliable flight hardware.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Document requirements, assumptions, interfaces, calculations, schematics,&nbsp;component&nbsp;selections, analyses, test results, procedures, and technical decisions so others can review, reproduce, build, and integrate the work.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Take increasing ownership as technical capability grows, progressing from supervised design and analysis tasks toward independent circuit-, board-, interface-, or subsystem-level responsibility.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Support spacecraft mission execution by helping translate mission&nbsp;objectives&nbsp;and constraints into credible electrical designs, analyses, hardware interfaces, integration plans, test approaches, and operational recommendations.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>
