Entry-Level Spacecraft Harness Engineer - Millennium Space Systems

Position Responsibilities

• Development & analysis of EWIS architectures for multiple programs and bus configurations from mission and scientific payloads to experimental LEO small satellites to MEO constellations and GEO vehicles.
• Generation of subsystem or unit-to-unit electrical block diagrams.
• Definition and documentation of signal connectivity through cross‑functional coordination with system, subsystem, and product engineers for spacecraft harness or printed wiring board design.
• Selection of harness components and hardware, including connectors, backshells, and wire/cable based on applicable satellite mission requirements and industry standards.
• Support generation of voltage drop analysis, power current derating, and capacitance circuit analysis for harness and printed wiring boards.
• Support development and analysis of PCB designs, determination of board form factor, schematic capture, board stack determination, component placement, and trace routing.
• Support generation of rigid or rigid‑flex PCBs, PCB assembly drawings, and fabrication & assembly output files (e.g., Gerber, ODB++).
• Generation of harness schematic diagrams, wire diagrams, and wire harness assembly drawings.
• Preparation and generation of harness acceptance testing procedures, including development of harness test scripts for cable testers.
• Participation in critical programmatic milestones (Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, etc.).
• Support assembly and testing of Flat Sat and flight harnesses while reporting on cost and schedule performance.
• Capture of as‑built, mockup harness builds to produce 2D/3D form boards.
• Support creation, maintenance, and update of harness design, assembly, and test standards and command media.

• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. citizenship. A final U.S. clearance post‑start is required.
• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or physics from an accredited institution.

• Active DoD TS or TS/SCI Clearance.
• Experience with the successful design and delivery of spacecraft or aircraft wire harnesses and/or printed circuit boards.
• Experience with early life‑cycle satellite engineering activities, spacecraft integration and test, and launch operations.
• Experience with Mentor Graphics Capital tool.
• Experience using EDA tools (e.g., OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, Altium, PSPICE) for schematic capture, PCB design/layout, and circuit simulation.
• Knowledge of harness design standards and specifications for spaceflight applications (MIL‑HDBK‑83575, MIL‑HDBK‑863, SAE AS50881).
• Knowledge of PCB design standards and specifications (IPC‑2221, 2222, 2223, IPC‑A‑600).
• Knowledge of military standards of connectors, wires, and contacts for aerospace applications (MIL‑DTL‑38999, MIL‑DTL‑24308, MIL‑DTL‑83513, NEMA‑WC27500, SAE‑AS22759).

Position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance. The role is located at a facility that requires special access. Only U.S. citizens or persons eligible for a U.S. security clearance may apply.
