• Ensure electrical designs meet size, weight, power, performance, and cost requirements.
• Define, document, and baseline electrical interfaces to support hardware and system integration.
• Develop and maintain electrical schematics, engineering drawings, hardware specifications, and technical documentation.
• Support PCB schematic capture, layout, and development using Altium or comparable electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
• Plan and execute electrical hardware verification and validation activities to demonstrate requirements compliance.
• Develop assembly, integration, verification, and test procedures for development and flight hardware.
• Use laboratory test equipment to characterize, troubleshoot, and verify electrical circuits, PCBs, and integrated hardware.
• Support procurement, fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing throughout the electrical hardware development lifecycle.
• Review electrical drawings, schematics, and technical documentation for accuracy and release.
• Present electrical designs, trade studies, technical analyses, and test results during formal engineering design reviews.
• Develop supporting safety documentation and participate in safety review boards as required.
• Coordinate electrical hardware development and integration with mechanical, systems, software, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship required by law or government contract
• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited college or university
• Minimum 5+ years of electrical engineering experience developing products for spaceflight, aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability/high-specification applications.
• Experience supporting electrical hardware through multiple phases of the product development lifecycle, including requirements, design, procurement, assembly, integration, and testing.
• Experience with electrical circuit design, schematic development, PCB design, circuit analysis, and engineering calculations.
• Proficiency using Altium or comparable electrical circuit and PCB design software.
• Hands‑on experience using laboratory test equipment to characterize, verify, and troubleshoot electrical systems and hardware.
• Experience performing electrical trade studies and evaluating technical design alternatives.
• Experience developing engineering specifications, electrical drawings, technical documentation, and hardware test procedures.
• Ability to apply engineering judgment, organize technical activities, and manage development priorities.
• Experience working independently and coordinating technical activities across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Ability to work a fixed 29-hour weekly hybrid schedule, including Monday-Wednesday onsite in Webster, TX, and Thursday remote.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing, procuring, manufacturing, integrating, or testing spaceflight hardware.
• Experience developing electrical hardware for high-reliability or extreme environments, including vibration, thermal extremes, and vacuum conditions.
• Advanced Altium PCB design experience, particularly with embedded processors or microcontrollers.
• Experience designing embedded electrical systems and processor-based hardware.
• Experience developing software or automated test tools for PCB functional verification.
• Experience designing and implementing DC power systems, DC‑DC converters, and linear voltage regulators.
• Experience with analog sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, operational amplifier circuits, and passive analog filtering.
