About the role

  • Work across different bus protocols and get familiar with the electrical architecture of multiple space vehicle subsystems.

Responsibilities

  • Own detailed board design work, including new digital and analog designs supporting upcoming missions (including active work on new power supply designs, such as for the TASA mission).
  • Be a technical face for electrical requirements, working cross-functionally with mechanical, systems, and program teams to deliver hardware that meets mission needs.
  • Flex into electrical systems support when needed - helping with harness schematics, ICDs, or system-level electrical questions alongside your board design work.
  • Collaborate closely with our existing hardware and electrical systems engineers to help cover a growing pipeline of new board designs kicked off across the team.
  • As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be a core hardware design resource on a team that's ramping up multiple new board design efforts. You'll:
  • As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be a core hardware design resource on a team that's ramping up multiple new board design efforts.
  • Strong, demonstrated experience in board design - you're comfortable owning a design from concept through delivery.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with CD&H (command and data handling) systems.
  • Experience managing external suppliers or vendors delivering hardware/software components.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with different bus protocols used in space or embedded hardware systems.
  • Working knowledge of space vehicle subsystems and how electrical hardware integrates into them.
  • Comfortable acting as a technical point of contact for electrical requirements across teams.
  • Ability and willingness to flex into electrical systems tasks (harness schematics, ICD review) as needed.
  • Senior-level experience in electrical engineering, ideally with some FPGA exposure.

Skills

  • Space Made Simple.
  • As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.

Company info

  • Loft: Space Made Simple.
  • Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
  • We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft's flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
  • With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.

  • Loft Orbital is redefining how satellites get built and deployed, and our electrical engineering team is at the heart of that mission.
  • We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who lives and breathes hardware design, someone who wants to sit down and knock out a board, dig into bus protocols, and help shape the next generation of space vehicle subsystems.
  • This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do hardware design full-time, but is also comfortable wearing an electrical systems hat when the mission calls for it.
  • At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.
