About the role

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

Own EMI/EMC technical direction across the spacecraft, setting unit- and system-level requirements and flowing them down to avionics, power, RF, and harness teams
Define grounding, bonding, isolation, shielding, and filtering architecture at both the box and vehicle level, and drive its implementation into hardware designs
Lead EMI/EMC qualification and verification campaigns to MIL-STD-461 and GSFC-7000 (GEVS), including CE/CS/RE/RS test methods, and adjudicate compliance, waivers, and deviations
Perform pre-compliance analysis and design reviews early in the development cycle to identify and mitigate emissions and susceptibility risks before they reach qualification
Develop and review filter designs, shielding effectiveness analyses, cable and harness shielding/return schemes, and PCB-level mitigation guidance
Build and mature the company's EMI/EMC test capability, including test plans, procedures, fixturing, and instrumentation for chamber and bench measurements
Partner with electrical, RF, power, mechanical, and harness teams to ensure EMC is designed in rather than tested in, and represent EMC in PDRs, CDRs, and customer reviews
Establish and document EMI/EMC standards, processes, and best practices, and provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers across the organization
Support hardware through production, integration, and launch, ensuring EMC compliance is maintained from first article through delivery

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
Minimum 10 years of professional experience in EMI/EMC engineering, with demonstrated ownership at both the unit and system level
Strong working knowledge of CE, CS, RE, and RS test methods and the instrumentation behind them (spectrum analyzers, EMI receivers, LISNs, antennas, current probes, network analyzers)
Proven ability to diagnose and resolve EMI/EMC problems during hardware bring-up, integration, and qualification
Track record of setting technical direction and standards across multiple programs or teams
Deep, hands-on experience executing and interpreting EMI/EMC qualification to MIL-STD-461 and GSFC-7000 (GEVS) or equivalent standards
Demonstrated expertise in grounding, bonding, shielding, and filtering design for high-reliability electronics
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority.
We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
As an Electrical Engineer (Staff or Principal), EMI/EMC at True Anomaly, you will serve as the company's technical authority for electromagnetic compatibility across our spacecraft, from individual avionics units through fully integrated vehicles.
You will define the grounding, bonding, shielding, and filtering architecture that lets our hardware survive its own electromagnetic environment and the launch and on-orbit environments beyond it.
Your judgment will shape designs early, de-risk qualification late, and establish the EMI/EMC standards and practices the broader engineering organization builds on.
