Senior Electrical Engineer

A bit about us:

A rapidly growing aerospace technology company is seeking a Senior Electrical Hardware Engineer to join a highly collaborative hardware team developing next-generation spacecraft systems.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys owning hardware from concept through deployment and wants the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on products operating in some of the world's most demanding environments.

Unlike highly specialized engineering organizations, this position offers broad ownership across electrical design, PCB development, validation, hardware/software integration, and future system architecture.

Why join us?

Work alongside an elite engineering team
Own systems from concept through validation
Fast-moving environment with minimal bureaucracy
Significant technical growth opportunities
Clear pathways into technical leadership, management, or chief engineer tracks
