• 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

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced leader, to build, manage and lead a team of harness engineers in the successful development and design of harness assemblies for spacecraft, missile defense, and associated test equipment. Designs will interconnect the electronics and power subsystem within the spacecraft, missiles and test setups. Interconnected systems include power, propulsion, guidance and navigation, data and telemetry.

Successful harness design and implementation is a critical part of the spacecraft system.
