Spacecraft Avionics Systems Engineer

Role Overview

A Firefly Avionics Systems engineer is responsible for the design, development, and testing of avionics systems on our spacecraft. In this role, you develop the avionics systems, requirements verifications, and component/system level test campaigns. You also help developed and design the HIL system in order to verify functionality before spacecraft integration, interfacing with software, mechanical, propulsion, fluids, and structures teams to ensure the proper functionality of the integrated solution.

What You Will Do

Own the entire process of designing the electrical architecture, testing and integrating avionics components onto the spacecraft, support assembly, integration, and test (AIT), launch integration, and on-orbit operations.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Previous spacecraft experience is highly preferred and electrical hands on experience is required. This role relies on strong electrical engineering principals in both analog and digital.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
• 3+ years of experience working with aerospace component development, testing, integration, or operations
• Experience in electrical engineering in both analog and digital circuit design, including usage of test equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, electronic loads, multimeters, and interpreting electrical schematics
• Experience performing trade studies and sensitivity studies to select the best architecture option
• Hands-on experience with prototyping circuits and testing
• Requirement writing and verification
• Experience in technical writing, proper documentation, and SOP creations
• Candidate must have a proactive mentality with the ability to self-start
• Experience with Python

Benefits

• generous health, dental and vision plans with low plan deductibles
• parental leave
• educational reimbursement
• short term disability
