Senior Electrical Engineer

We are seeking a motivated Electrical Engineer to join our core engineering team. In this role, you will support the design, development, and testing of electronic systems critical to our kinetic launch technology. You’ll work across a variety of subsystems—from high-voltage actuation to embedded telemetry—helping to build and refine the hardware that powers our launch platform. This is a hands‑on role with opportunities for growth in both technical and leadership tracks.

You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers and cross‑functional teams including mechanical, fluids, and aerospace engineers to develop the launch electrical systems architecture.
