About the role

About Canada Rocket Company Canada Rocket Company is developing Canada's first medium-lift launch vehicle. We are a team of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ArianeGroup, Pangea Propulsion, Tesla, and MDA, bringing over a century of combined launch and space systems experience back to Canada. Our mission is to provide reliable, independent
access to space for Canada and its allies in a rapidly expanding global market. Our approach is defined by pragmatic engineering: We utilize a single 700 kN engine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering. We lean on simple, proven technologies to reach orbit faster, avoiding the pitfalls of complex or novel designs. We test early and

Build the electrical design processes, tools, and documentation standards that will scale with the team Provide production support for launch vehicle avionics, including root-cause failure investigations and quality enhancements.
Develop, test, and characterize electronic sub-circuits, including digital, power, and analogue sensing circuits.
As our first Electrical Design Engineer, you will own the design of high-reliability, flight-grade electrical hardware starting with our light-lift rocket R1 and scaling that work through successive vehicles as CRC grows.
You will set the standards, build the processes, and deliver hardware that flies.
As the team expands, you will be expected to help hire and shape the electrical design team around you.
If you want to own critical hardware from first principles to first flight and help build the team that eventually scales around you, this is the role for you.

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Proficiency in Altium.
Experience with circuit board layout, especially for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications.
Experience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, analog control loops, solid state load switches, motor inverters, EMI/EMC compliance, or sensor signal conditioning circuits.
Experience in environmental testing, such as vibration, shock, thermal, and TVAC as well as familiarity with relevant standards.
Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced and autonomous project environments.
Programming experience in Python and/or C/C++.

We utilize a single 700 kN engine that scales from light- to medium-lift via engine clustering.
We test early and often, catching problems on the bench instead of at the pad.
This is a senior, hands-on foundational role.
This is not a role for someone who wants a defined lane.
Required Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Over 5 years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics.
Familiarity with interfaces and sensors, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, serial devices, and instrumentation.
Preferred Passion for spaceflight and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications.
