Job summary

True Anomaly, Inc. in Long Beach, CA, is seeking an Engineering Manager, eGSE, to lead the design, development, and delivery of electrical ground support equipment across programs.

You will own rack and enclosure systems from concept through first article, driving standardization and serving as a technical anchor for engineers and technicians. The role requires hands-on experience with EGSE, harness design, and MIL-spec practices, plus strong cross-domain leadership to scale test infrastructure

Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering.
• Hands-on experience in EGSE, test systems, or hardware engineering in aerospace, defense, or adjacent high-reliability industries and skill equivalent to engineering level
• Demonstrated experience designing and building harnesses, including crimping, connector inspection, backshell installation, and shielding termination
• Strong proficiency in both mechanical and electrical hardware design — comfortable owning the 3D layout and the schematic for the same system
• Rack-level power and data architecture experience — UPS, lab-grade power supplies, Linux-based control systems, and mixed signal/power environments
• Systematic troubleshooting methodology across power and data systems
• Familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g.Ethernet, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN, I2C, SPI,EtherCAT) and how to support their signal integrity, grounding, and shielding
• Proficiency with electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, DMMs, electronic loads, function generators, and bench power supplies

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design and delivery ofEGSE racks and test enclosures — mechanical layout, electrical schematics, harness design, and full drawing packages from requirements through first article build and check-out
• Lead harness design and fabrication to MIL-spec standards, including connectorselection, shielding strategy, crimp inspection, andbackshellinstallation, and define build quality standards for the broader team
• Establish and enforce rack standardization across programs —componentselection, parts inventory strategy, and procurement approach to maximize build speed and minimize single-point-of-failure dependencies
• Drive signal integrity and power architecture decisions at the rack and enclosure level, including power and data routing, grounding, shielding, and EMI mitigation
• Develophardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system architecture and expansion across both emulator-based and flight hardware configurations
• Provide hands-on technical support during test campaigns and bring-up activities, including on-site support at production and test facilities
• Mentor mid-level engineers and technicians, serving as a technical backstop and escalation point for the team
• Develop and maintain thorough documentation for all GSE designs, processes, and changes to ensure traceability and reduce team dependency on any single individual
