Description
Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly. Who We're Looking For We are seeking a technically skilled and hands-on Electrical Engineer II to support the development of specialized spacecraft electronics for next-generation Ranger missions. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, integration, qualification, and flight delivery of high-reliability avionics and spacecraft electronics supporting long-duration, high-mobility space missions. Working closely with systems, mechanical, thermal, RF communications, FPGA, software, and integration engineers, you will help develop flight-ready electronics from early concept through spacecraft integration and launch. This position is ideal for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced development environment and enjoys solving complex technical challenges while building hardware that flies. Where You'll Make an Impact Support the development of specialized spacecraft electronics from concept, prototyping, and design through integration, qualification, and flight delivery Design and develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics supporting spacecraft avionics, communications, embedded electronics, and vehicle subsystems Develop schematic capture and multi-layer PCB designs for flight and flight-like hardware Perform hardware bring-up, electrical troubleshooting, validation testing, and anomaly resolution activities Collaborate with systems, RF communications, mechanical, thermal, FPGA, software, and integration teams to deliver fully integrated spacecraft electronics Support hardware integration, verification, and validation during spacecraft assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) campaigns Participate in engineering reviews including System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), and Flight Readiness Review (FRR) Develop and maintain engineering documentation including schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), requirements, verification artifacts, and test procedures Contribute to design trade studies, technical assessments, and multidisciplinary engineering reviews Improve hardware reliability, manufacturability, and mission readiness through continuous engineering improvements Support multiple spacecraft development efforts within a dynamic, fast-paced engineering environment What It Takes Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline 3+ years of experience developing electronics hardware for aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability applications Experience designing electrical communication interfaces including RS-422, RS-485, CAN, LVDS, I2C, and SPI Strong understanding of analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics fundamentals Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, and ECAD design tools Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), power supplies, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers Experience supporting hardware integration, debugging, validation testing, and root-cause investigations Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical systems and resolve hardware anomalies Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills Comfortable operating within a fast-paced, iterative spacecraft development environment Nice-to-Have Experience Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline Direct experience developing spacecraft or other flight-qualified electronics Experience using the Cadence ECAD suite, including OrCAD Capture and Allegro PCB Designer Experience designing mixed-signal, timing-critical, high-density, multi-layer PCB assemblies
