As part of a hardworking team, you will develop and execute design avionics electronic hardware used to operate rocket engines in space.
This development team is tightly knit and very collaborative, with a variety of experience and backgrounds. We care about the success of our peers and are eager to help each other learn and grow.
Together we will build high-reliability, safety-critical avionics solutions.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
Responsibilities:
- Electrical design of analog instrumentation measurement circuits that measure various environmental and combustion conditions of a rocket engine.
- Electrical design of actuator circuits for solenoids, or electromechanical servo systems.
- Interpret systems engineering and quality requirements as they apply to electrical product development.
- Develop circuits, boards, and rugged electronic hardware assemblies across the entire product life-cycle; including concept and requirements definition, design, prototyping, verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and release to production.
- Support risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
- Identify root cause failure modes using fault tree and fishbone methodologies.
Qualifications:
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field with 2 years of direct experience in electronics hardware development.
- Direct hands-on experience with analog, digital circuit design, analysis, test, and debug.
- Knowledge of Op-Amp circuits as applied to instrumentation measurements including, scaling, active filters and current to voltage conversion.
- Knowledge of signal integrity, power conversion, grounding, and general board layout principles.
- Experience with electric motor drive circuits (EMA) is a valuable asset.
- Highly organized teammate with excellent technical skills (written and verbal)
- Experience with data anomaly review and system troubleshooting in a lab or test environment.
- Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to culture
