The Space Imaging team is responsible for all aspects of spaceborne EO/IR system development, from the ideation stage through initial production. In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to define the electrical architecture of space-qualified EO/IR sensor payloads — including power distribution, connector/harness interfaces, EMI/EMC protection, and high-speed communication interfaces — build and test prototypes, and mature designs into flight hardware products. As needed, you will also lead small teams of engineers from concept through system definition and development.What You'll DoElectrical Architecture: Define and own the electrical architecture for EO/IR sensor payload assemblies, including power distribution, connector/harness interfaces, grounding/bonding schemes, and communication interfaces.Power Electronics Design: Design, analyze, and test isolated power conversion, EMI filtering, inrush current limiting, and over-voltage/reverse-polarity protection circuitry for low-voltage DC payload power systems.Interface & Harness Design: Select connectors, define pin assignments, perform wire/cable and component derating analyses, and establish shielding, bonding, and isolation schemes to meet EMI/EMC requirements.Communication Interfaces: Design and support high-speed Ethernet (10GbE) and discrete I/O (RS-422, I2C, SPI) interfaces between sensor electronics and host avionics.EMC/ESD: Support EMI/EMC qualification testing (MIL-STD-461/464), and ESD protection design.Radiation Compliance: Radiation-tolerant (TID/SEU) component selection for space and tactical environments.Parts Stress & Reliability Analysis: Perform EEE parts stress/derating analyses and support hybrid microelectronics selection to ensure reliable operation across mission life.Hardware/Software Integration: Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, optical, and systems engineers to integrate electrical designs into sensor payload assemblies, including bring-up and verification testing.Testing and Validation: Develop and execute test procedures using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, network analyzers, EMI test gear) to validate designs against functional and performance requirements.Required QualificationsEducation: A Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field is typically required.Experience: 8+ years of experience designing power, interface, or mixed-signal electronics for space, airborne, or other harsh-environment defense systems.Power Electronics & Circuit Design: Experience designing isolated DC/DC power conversion, EMI filters, and transient/over-voltage protection circuits for low-voltage DC systems.EMI/EMC Standards: Familiarity with MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 (or equivalent) EMI/EMC design and test methods.Interface/Harness Design: Experience with connector selection, pin/harness definition, and parts/wire derating analysis (e.g., per MIL-HDBK-1547A or equivalent).Debugging Skills: Strong hardware debugging skills using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic/protocol analyzers).Analysis Tools: Proficiency with schematic capture/circuit simulation tools and worst-case stress/derating analysis.US Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled dataEligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearanceUS Salary Range $147,000 —$196,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
