About the role

As a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer, you'll take ownership of mission-level electrical systems work across one or more active programs.
Act as a key electrical point of contact for a mission - similar to the role our electrical systems engineers play across current programs, coordinating closely with hardware, mechanical, and systems teams.

Own electrical systems scope for assigned missions - integrating payloads, designing wiring harnesses, and ensuring power is properly allocated and distributed across the vehicle.
Read and interpret ICDs (interface control documents) to guide harness design and system integration decisions.
Support CD&H (command and data handling) architecture and requirements for your assigned missions.
Develop system component requirements and interconnect diagrams that tie hardware together at the mission level.
This role is ideal for someone who wants breadth - comfortable owning system-level electrical scope end-to-end, with the flexibility to jump into board design work as needed.
Strong experience in electrical systems engineering - including harness design, electrical schematics, and power allocation/distribution.
Comfortable flexing into some board design work as needed.

Interpret EMI / EMC test plans and help ensure systems meet electrical compatibility requirements.
