Electrical GSE Engineer (All Levels)

Impulse Space is seeking Electrical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Engineers across multiple experience levels to help design build and deploy the critical systems that interface directly with flight hardware throughout vehicle integration test and launch operations.

In this role you will develop robust electrical ground systems that enable rapid testing seamless vehicle integration and reliable launch execution in demanding environments. Youll partner closely with avionics propulsion software structures test and operations teams to deliver high-performance EGSE solutions that are safe scalable and mission ready.

This position is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments enjoy hands-on hardware development and want to see their systems operate from initial concept through launch.

Responsibilities

• Own EGSE hardware through the full lifecycle including architecture schematic development fabrication integration validation and deployment
• Design develop integrate and support electrical ground systems used for engine testing vehicle integration and launch operations
• Collaborate cross-functionally with avionics propulsion software test and operations teams to deliver reliable systems on aggressive schedules
• Support bring-up troubleshooting calibration and functional verification of EGSE hardware and interfaces
• Develop interface control documents (ICDs) schematics wiring documentation and engineering release drawings to ensure alignment between ground and flight systems
• Ensure systems meet operational reliability and safety requirements for test and launch environments
• Drive continuous improvement of GSE design standards integration processes and documentation practices
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical excellence across the team (senior-level candidates)

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering Mechatronics or a related technical discipline
• Experience designing building and deploying EGSE avionics integration hardware or other high-reliability electrical systems
• Strong understanding of electrical system design fundamentals including signal integrity grounding shielding and power distribution
• Hands-on experience with souring instrumentation hardware integration electrical testing and system troubleshooting
• Familiarity with common aerospace and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet RS-422 CAN etc.) and networking (TCP/IP CAT5 serial protocols)
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced development and test environments

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience designing rack-level systems harnessing or enclosure integrations for Avionics or RF products
• Proficiency with CAD tools such as NX for mechanical integration and layout design
• Familiarity with test automation scripting or controls software (Python MATLAB etc.)
• Knowledge of aerospace ground systems standards and practices (NASA ASME API Air Force etc.)
• Prior experience supporting launch campaigns propulsion testing or integrated vehicle operations
