Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Technical Director, Advanced Mission Critical Electronics to define and lead the development of our next‑generation computing, sensing, and communications architectures.

This role requires a leader who challenges the status quo of "traditional space." We are looking for an expert who champions the adoption of modern, commercially derived electronics (COTS) for spaceborne applications over legacy "rad‑hard by design" practices. You will drive the development of systems that span defense and commercial applications across all domains—from surface to airborne—with a specific, intense focus on spaceborne applications at all orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO, and cislunar).

You will be joining the Advanced Technology Development team
, a specialized unit within our Strategic Growth and Technology Organization. This team is responsible for defining and developing Voyager's future technologies, with a relentless focus on high‑impact, high‑ROI technology and product research and development. Our technology portfolio spans the totality of Voyager's capabilities and beyond—we are tasked with creating both leap‑ahead capabilities in existing technology areas and strategically moving into and developing foundational technology in new, uncharted areas.

Responsibilities
  • Define Electronics Strategy: Create the technical roadmap for Voyager’s mission‑critical electronics portfolio, covering high‑performance edge computing, software‑defined radios, and advanced sensor suites.
  • Architect for Space: Lead the transition from traditional, expensive, low‑performance rad‑hard components to resilient architectures that utilize modern automotive and industrial‑grade silicon. You will define hybrid hardware/software fault tolerance architectures, leveraging a mix of circuit‑level protections (latch‑up limiting, ECC) and software‑defined mitigation (scrubbing, checkpointing, algorithmic redundancy) to enable state‑of‑the‑art performance in orbit.
  • Cross‑Domain Integration: Ensure that electronic subsystems are designed for modularity and scalability, capable of being deployed on a ground vehicle, a high‑altitude drone, or a satellite with minimal redesign.
  • Lead Hardware/Software Convergence: Bridge the gap between electrical engineering and software teams to co‑design for reliability. You will ensure that hardware is designed "software‑first," enabling rapid updates, modern CI/CD workflows, and intelligent software recovery layers that can handle hardware upsets transparently.
  • Technical Execution: Oversee the full lifecycle of electronics development, from schematic capture and PCB layout reviews to thermal analysis, radiation testing, and final flight qualification.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Physics.
  • Electronics Leadership: 10+ years of experience leading the development of complex electronics hardware, including high‑speed digital design, FPGA/SoC integration, and power systems.
  • Spaceborne Architecture: Prior experience designing rad‑hard and rad‑tolerant systems. You…
