Job description

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES - **Be the offset.** We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. - **What would it take?** We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. - **It’s the people.** Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. **YOUR MISSION** True Anomaly is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design and development of electrical system architectures for our next-generation space vehicles. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, you will contribute to system-level electrical architecture development, system reliability analysis, and integration of power, data, and control systems across the spacecraft. This role emphasizes growing your systems engineering skills — learning to think about how electrical subsystems interact, how components meet mission requirements, and how system-level decisions impact overall spacecraft performance. You'll work on cutting-edge space vehicle technology alongside a multidisciplinary team while developing expertise in both electrical design and systems thinking. **RESPONSIBILITIES** - Support development of electrical system architectures and block diagrams for spacecraft avionics under senior engineer guidance - Create and maintain system-level documentation including block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and interface specifications - Contribute to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) activities, documenting failure modes and assisting with risk assessments - Assist in reviewing and evaluating electrical components and COTS products, researching datasheets and specifications to support component selection decisions - Support component qualification planning including evaluation of environmental specifications, derating requirements, and reliability data - Design electrical circuits and subsystems for avionics applications including power supplies, sensor interfaces, and control circuits - Create electrical schematics, BOMs, and assembly drawings using CAD tools (Altium, OrCAD, or similar) - Perform circuit analysis including power calculations, voltage drop analysis, and basic worst-case analysis under senior engineer review - Support electrical system analysis activities including power budgets, load flow studies, and interface verification - Participate in hardware bring-up, debugging, and testing using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers) - Execute test procedures for electrical verification including functional testing, continuity checks, and environmental test support - Document test results, create test reports, and track issues through resolution - Collaborate with harness design teams on cable specifications, connector selections, and routing requirements - Support integration and test activities including spacecraft-level electrical checkout and systems testing - Participate in design reviews presenting analysis results, design status, and test data - Maintain electrical system documentation including design files, test data, analysis reports, and as-built records **QUALIFICATIONS** - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field - 2–7 years of professional experience in electrical engineering, circuit design, or related technical discipline - Fundamental knowledge of circuit design, power electronics, and electrical systems - Familiarity with electrical CAD tools for schematic capture (Altium, OrCAD, EAGLE, KiCad, or similar) - Basic understanding of electrical analysis methods including circuit simulation, power budgeting, or component derating - Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators - Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, data-sheets, and technical specifications - Strong attention to detail and documentation skills - Self-motivated learner with eagerness to develop expertise in aerospace electrical engineering - Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment **PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE** - Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline - Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability applications - Exposure to system reliability analysis methods such as FMEA, fault tree analysis, or reliability modeling - Experience creating technical diagrams using Visio, Lucidchart, or similar tools - Familiarity with space-grade components, radiation effects, or environmental qualification testing - Knowledge of digital communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, RS-422, UART) - Experience with MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for analysis and automation - Understanding of PCB design principles and experience working with layout engineers - Familiarity with aerospace standards such as NASA-STD-8739, MIL-STD-461, or IPC standards - Interest in spacecraft systems, power electronics, or embedded hardware design **COMPENSATION** - **Base Salary:** $90,000 - $165,000 - **Equity + Benefits** including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
