Today, York is one of the most innovative aerospace companies, specializing in end-to-end customer solutions and the rapid production of spacecraft platforms. York's complete Space Segment Solution includes spacecraft production, payload integration, system integration & test, launch services, ground segment services, and mission operations, enabling customers to leverage York's existing technology solutions to get to orbit rapidly and responsively. We're looking to expand our team across the board. York is seeking an Electrical Systems Engineering Manager to lead development of spacecraft electrical subsystems, including Command & Data Handling (C&DH) and Electrical Power Systems (EPS). The team is responsible for system-level design, analysis, integration, testing, and operational support of spacecraft electrical systems, including both internally developed and vendor-provided hardware. This is a systems engineering and leadership role focused on architecture, integration, and verification, not detailed circuit design. Key Responsibilities Team Leadership Lead and mentor a team of electrical systems engineers responsible for spacecraft electrical systems. Set technical direction, priorities, and performance expectations for the team. Conduct performance reviews and support career development. Allocate resources and ensure alignment with program schedules and mission objectives. Act as the primary technical interface between the team, program leadership, and other engineering groups. Systems Engineering & Architecture Decompose mission objectives into electrical subsystem requirements and specifications. Define system architectures for spacecraft electrical subsystems including power distribution and computing avionics. Establish performance metrics for electrical systems such as timing, data throughput, power budgets, and interface compatibility. Develop specifications for electrical interfaces and communication buses (e.g., LVDS, RS-422, Ethernet, SPI, I2C). Ensure system designs address environmental constraints including radiation, thermal, and EMI/EMC considerations. Support system-level trade studies and design reviews. Integration, Verification, and Operations Oversee development of test plans and procedures for subsystem verification and validation, including HIL and SIL testing. Support spacecraft integration activities and troubleshoot issues during assembly and test. Identify technical risks and ensure appropriate mitigation strategies are implemented. Support anomaly investigation and resolution during spacecraft operations. Program Execution Represent the electrical systems team in program reviews, customer interactions, and risk reviews. Coordinate with supply chain and program management to ensure components and assemblies meet program needs. Develop processes, tools, and best practices to improve electrical system design, analysis, and testing across the organization. Other duties as assigned Qualifications Required for the Role Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related field. 5+ years of experience in spacecraft electrical systems design, integration, or test. Experience with spacecraft avionics and/or power systems. Demonstrated ability to develop requirements, architectures, and test plans for complex systems. Strong communication skills working with multidisciplinary engineering teams. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance. Preferred for the Role 8+ years of experience in spacecraft electrical systems engineering. 3+ years leading or managing technical teams. Experience with spacecraft power system architecture, power budgeting, battery sizing, and solar array sizing. Knowledge of spacecraft data handling architectures and high-speed digital interfaces. Experience with spacecraft integration and system-level verification (HIL, SIL, automated testing). Familiarity with signal integrity considerations including jitter, skew, crosstalk, and timing synchronization. Understanding of space environmental effects on electronics and mitigation strategies. Experience with EMI/EMC design and testing. Familiarity with spacecraft subsystem integration and mission lifecycle from concept through operations. Experience with laboratory test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, and DMMs. Benefits 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (subject to spousal surcharge). Company holidays, floating holidays, and sick time. Unlimited PTO. Generous 401(k) match.
