Support PCB layout design and coordinate with external vendors for fabrication and assembly of PCB components. Collaborate closely with the Space Kinetic manufacturing and engineering team to integrate electrical systems into mechanical assemblies. Verify and validate your electrical designs through testing, troubleshooting, debugging, and iteration to improve system reliability and performance. Actively participate in design reviews, contribute to system-level engineering discussions, and ensure the electrical subsystem progresses toward flight-readiness. Support the creation and maintenance of electrical documentation, including BOMs, wiring diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and test procedures. Ensure each design iteration moves the system closer to a flight-ready prototype aligned with Space Kinetic's 2-year flight demonstration goal. What It Takes: Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic) field. Experience developing hardware for aerospace, defense, robotics, or similarly rigorous applications. A minimum of 7 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience, ideally involving prototype development. Experience designing analog circuitry such as signal conditioning circuitry. Experience designing digital circuitry and output drivers such as gate drivers and motor drivers. Experience working with embedded systems. Proficiency in circuit design, schematic creation, and component selection. Experience working with Schematic / PCB design tools (e.g., Altium). Demonstrated experience building and testing electrical systems or prototypes. Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals, wiring practices, and system integration. Ability to troubleshoot circuits, debug hardware, and iterate rapidly. Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers). Experience collaborating with vendors for PCB fabrication and assembly. Excellent documentation, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving requirements. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder). Ability to maintain or obtain a Government Security Clearance. Preferred Qualifications A minimum of 9 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience. Experience in developing embedded systems. Experience in developing power electronics. Experience with the C programming language. Knowledge of field-oriented controls, microcontrollers, sensors, and power electronics. Experience with environmental or functional testing of electrical systems. *Our vision is unique, and so is the team we're building.
