We are looking to add an Electrical Engineer II – Spacecraft Hardware role on the spacecraft team. You will perform PCB-level implementation, translating spacecraft requirements into robust hardware designs while ensuring alignment with overall system performance, reliability, and mission objectives. You will own board-level development from design through production while contributing to subsystem definition, integration, and troubleshooting across the full spacecraft lifecycle.

Mentorship and growth are key to long-term success. The successful candidate will be surrounded by more experienced engineers in hardware as well as software, FPGAs, thermal, mechanical, and other fields. Rapid technical and professional growth is both encouraged and expected.
