Electrical Engineer II – Spacecraft Programs; FlatSat

Electrical Engineer II – Spacecraft Programs (Flat Sat)

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.

We are seeking a technically skilled and hands-on Electrical Engineer II – Flat Sat Integration to support the deployment, integration, and long-term maintenance of spacecraft Flat Sat environments utilizing engineering models of flight hardware, software emulators, hardware simulators, and associated Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE). In this role, you will serve as a key contributor to spacecraft integration activities, helping bring together individual subsystems into cohesive, flight-like system test environments that support development, qualification, launch preparation, and mission operations.

Working closely with systems, avionics, power, RF communications, flight software, ground software, guidance, navigation and control (GNC), and payload engineering teams, you will play a critical role in ensuring spacecraft are fully integrated, validated, and mission ready. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys hardware integration, debugging, system validation, and solving complex multidisciplinary engineering challenges.

Deploy, integrate, and maintain spacecraft Flat Sat environments utilizing engineering models, hardware emulators, software simulators, and associated EGSE

Develop and maintain spacecraft-level integration environments supporting subsystem validation, vehicle checkout, regression testing, and mission readiness

Serve as a primary hardware owner responsible for integrating spacecraft subsystems into cohesive, flight-like system testbeds

Support the operational readiness and long-term maintenance of Flat Sat platforms throughout spacecraft development, launch preparation, and post-deployment mission operations

Collaborate with avionics, RF communications, power, flight software, ground software, GNC, payload, and systems engineering teams to support end-to-end spacecraft integration

Perform hardware bring-up, electrical troubleshooting, debugging, root-cause investigations, and anomaly resolution across integrated spacecraft systems

Develop and maintain integration procedures, interface control documentation, test configurations, operational workflows, and supporting technical documentation

Support the design, integration, and maintenance of Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE), electrical interfaces, harnessing, and supporting infrastructure

Participate in spacecraft assembly, integration, checkout, validation, and mission support activities

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance Flat Sat reliability, integration efficiency, and overall mission readiness

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline

3+ years of experience supporting electronics hardware development, system integration, or spacecraft integration within aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability industries
