## About the role

We are looking for an Avionics Integration Engineer to own the electrical integration of our spacecraft from early architecture through vehicle build, system testing, launch-site operations, and flight. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of avionics, propulsion, mechanical systems, flight software, manufacturing, and test. You will translate vehicle-level requirements into electrical interfaces, harness designs, channel assignments, configuration files, test procedures, and released hardware.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of professional experience with avionics, electrical systems, vehicle integration, harnessing, instrumentation, or complex electromechanical systems
- Experience designing, building, integrating, or testing electrical harnesses and avionics hardware
- Experience reading and creating electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, pinout documentation, and interface-control documents
- Working knowledge of electrical power distribution, grounding, shielding, signal integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility
- Experience troubleshooting electrical hardware using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, logic analyzers, network tools, and other laboratory equipment
