Think FedEx of space with precision landing capability within 50-100 meters. They are looking to add a Senior Avionics Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join the team and take ownership of avionics subsystems from end to end. You will be a key player in designing, testing, and producing the electronic systems for Earth return vehicles, collaborating closely with engineers across multiple domains. This is a crucial role for developing the hardware that will guide our spacecraft, bridging the gap between our GNC, software, and aerodynamics teams. What will you be doing? Develop electrical architectures, design circuits, capture schematics, and lay out PCBAs for our spacecraft. Design custom electrical harnesses and oversee their construction. Develop and support electrical ground equipment and test hardware, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) and FlatSat setups. Drive root-cause analysis and troubleshooting of electronics-related issues in spacecraft and ground systems. Collaborate with GNC, software, and aerodynamics engineers to integrate hardware, firmware, and software components. Why this Role?

End-to-end ownership:

33-person team means you're not a cog. You own avionics subsystems from architecture through integration and flight — working directly with GNC, software, and leadership.
