Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2–7 years of professional experience in electrical engineering.
• Fundamental knowledge of circuit design, power electronics, and electrical systems.
• Familiarity with electrical CAD tools for schematic capture (Altium, OrCAD, EAGLE, KiCad, or similar).
• Basic understanding of electrical analysis methods including circuit simulation, power budgeting, or component derating.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators.

Responsibilities

• Support development of electrical system architectures and block diagrams for spacecraft avionics under senior engineer guidance.
• Create and maintain system-level documentation including block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and interface specifications.
• Contribute to FMEA activities, documenting failure modes and assisting with risk assessments.
• Assist in reviewing and evaluating electrical components and COTS products, researching datasheets and specifications to support component selection decisions.
• Support component qualification planning including evaluation of environmental specifications, derating requirements, and reliability data.
• Design electrical circuits and subsystems for avionics applications including power supplies, sensor interfaces, and control circuits.
• Create electrical schematics, BOMs, and assembly drawings using CAD tools (Altium, OrCAD, or similar).
• Perform circuit analysis including power calculations, voltage drop analysis, and basic worst-case analysis under senior engineer review.
• Support electrical system analysis activities including power budgets, load flow studies, and interface verification.
• Participate in hardware bring-up, debugging, and testing using lab equipment.
• Execute test procedures for electrical verification including functional testing, continuity checks, and environmental test support.
• Document test results, create test reports, and track issues through resolution.
• Collaborate with harness design teams on cable specifications, connector selections, and routing requirements.
• Support integration and test activities including spacecraft-level electrical checkout and systems testing.
• Participate in design reviews presenting analysis results, design status, and test data.
• Maintain electrical system documentation including design files, test data, analysis reports, and as-built records.
