About the Role
My client is building spacecraft from the ground up--and they're looking for an Avionics Engineer who thrives in high-autonomy, high-impact environments. You'll own the design and deployment of electronic subsystems for our first flight vehicle, with full lifecycle responsibility from concept to orbit.
This is a zero-to-one opportunity for engineers who want to shape hardware that survives the harshest environments and pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
Responsibilities
Architect and own avionics system-level design, interfaces, and trade studies
Prototype, bring up, and validate flight computers, comms systems, power electronics, and ADCS hardware
Build internal test infrastructure (flatsat, GPS sim, power sim, comms sim, etc.)
Lead qualification testing across vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum environments
Establish best practices for electrical design and tooling
Support flight operations with hands-on hardware ownership
Qualifications
Proven experience designing and validating PCBAs for space or similarly demanding environments
Ownership of high-reliability electronics from concept through deployment
Ability to operate independently and iterate rapidly in a constrained trade space
Deep troubleshooting instincts--comfortable crawling through systems to isolate and resolve issues
A mindset for excellence, not perfection--my client values bold builders over box-checkers
Bonus Points
You've shipped flight hardware
You've built something unconventional that worked
You've challenged requirements to make the system better
You've mentored others or built tools that improved team velocity
Culture & Fit
My client is obsessed with impact. They move fast, expect ownership, and prioritize hiring exceptional individuals--even those with unconventional backgrounds. If you're the kind of person who builds things in your garage, rewrites specs to make them better, or thrives in ambiguity, they want to hear from you.
Benefits
100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision base plans
Access to HSA, FSA, 401K, and commuter benefits
Unlimited PTO (with a minimum of two weeks mandatory use)
Daily catered lunches
* Equity in a company that's redefining what's possible in space
