Job description

We’re working with a rapidly scaling aerospace startup in Los Angeles building next-generation spacecraft systems. They’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of PCB design and hardware development for mission-critical flight systems.

This is a 0-1 role, owning hardware from concept through to flight within one of the most elite teams in New Space.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for architecting and delivering high-reliability PCBs used in spacecraft avionics, communications, and power systems. From schematic capture to board bring-up and validation, you’ll own the full lifecycle of hardware that will operate in orbit this year.

Responsibilities

• Own the full PCB design lifecycle: architecture, schematic capture, layout collaboration, bring-up, and validation
• Design high-reliability flight electronics for spacecraft and satellite systems
• Develop complex multi-layer PCB designs integrating high-speed digital, analog, and power circuitry
• Lead hardware debugging, testing, and environmental validation
• Work cross-functionally with embedded software, mechanical, and systems teams to deliver integrated flight hardware
• Drive engineering standards and mentor other hardware engineers

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 3+ years experience designing complex PCB-based electronic systems
• Demonstrated ownership of PCB design from concept through bring-up
• Strong expertise in at least one of the following areas:
• RF systems (communications, antennas, RF front ends)
• Power electronics (power conversion, power distribution, battery systems)
• Hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and lab testing

Nice to Have

• Aerospace or spaceflight hardware experience
• Experience designing high-reliability or harsh-environment electronics
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC considerations in PCB design
