More about this role
Loft Orbital is looking for a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and mission-level systems thinking. If you love owning the "big picture" of how power, payloads, and harnessing come together on a spacecraft - and you're not afraid to dig into board-level details when needed - we want you on our team. This is a chance to be the electrical backbone of entire missions, from payload integration through power allocation to CD&H .
As a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer , you'll take ownership of mission-level electrical systems work across one or more active programs. You'll:
- Own electrical systems scope for assigned missions - integrating payloads, designing wiring harnesses, and ensuring power is properly allocated and distributed across the vehicle.
- Read and interpret ICDs (interface control documents) to guide harness design and system integration decisions.
- Support CD&H (command and data handling) architecture and requirements for your assigned missions.
- Interpret EMI / EMC test plans and help ensure systems meet electrical compatibility requirements.
- Develop system component requirements and interconnect diagrams that tie...
