About the Role
The Company is seeking a Head of Electrical Engineering to play a pivotal role in the development of off-Earth manufacturing. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the electrical design and R&D of reusable autonomous manufacturing vessels, with a focus on bringing the manufacturing hardware to life in a flightworthy manner. This includes owning the electrical systems, translating mission and business requirements, and defining the operational standards for the electrical team. The role demands a hands-on approach, from leading the full hardware lifecycle to designing and analyzing circuits for high-power electronics and mixed-signal interfaces. The Head of Electrical Engineering will also be instrumental in building out test capabilities, leading the team in technical standards, and mentoring engineers as the team expands. Applicants for the Head of Electrical Engineering position at the company should have a Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical discipline or equivalent practical experience, with a minimum of 8 years' in electrical design engineering. Strong proficiency in a modern ECAD platform and a background in electrical design for demanding environments, such as space or high-reliability electronics, is essential. The ideal candidate will have experience in space robotics, developing hardware for extreme conditions, and a track record of working with space-rated or radiation-tolerant components. Hands-on experience in build and assembly, as well as in supporting environmental and qualification testing, is highly valued. The role requires a candidate who is comfortable with a hands-on, iterative approach to engineering and is willing to challenge assumptions to drive innovation in the field of off-Earth manufacturing.
