ABLSpaceSystems

Senior Electrical Engineer, Avionics

El Segundo, CA
USD 145k - 210k
Description
ABL Space Systems was founded in 2017 by veterans of SpaceX and Morgan Stanley to develop low-cost launch vehicles for the small satellite industry. More importantly, we’re building a launch system we are truly proud of – no gimmicks or over-design, just reliable, rapidly deployable launches. We’re an ambitious team with big goals and, together, we’re determined to prove that reaching space can be simple, efficient, and routine.  

When launch day arrives, we want you by our side

ABL’s Avionics Engineers are critical to mission success, bridging the gap between hardware responsible for producing thousands of pounds of thrust and software guiding the payload safely to the correct orbit.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop avionics electronics hardware from circuit and schematic design to PCBA layout.
  • Own avionics components and systems architectures as an RE and domain expert
  • Lead design review processes for your work
  • Gather, define, and document requirements to meet existing and anticipated needs for vehicle avionics.
  • Develop test plans for component validation, system qualification and acceptance
  • Develop, analyze, and review data to validate and verify the avionics system meets specifications and design requirements
  • Collaborate with mechanical and flight sciences teams to maintain design alignment on requirements and integration
  • Specify, evaluate, and test components ranging from batteries and actuators to integrated circuits and sensors
  • Propose and champion next generation avionics products
  • Perform root cause and corrective action investigation for issues encountered in manufacturing, integration, and operation

Basic Qualifications:

  • B.S. in Aerospace or Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), or similar from an accredited university 
  • 5+ years experience in the development of aircraft, missile, spacecraft or similar electronic/avionic systems

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • 7+ years experience with PCB design software (preferably Altium Designer) including schematic capture, layout, simulation, and fulfillment.
  • Experience designing high-speed or RF circuitry and PCBA layout
  • Proficiency with circuit design and analysis tools (e.g. Altium, LTSpice) and simulation
  • Experience qualifying avionics systems for spaceflight
  • Experience developing or architecting systems applicable to government regulations
  • Demonstrated leadership experience

What We Look For:

  • Critical thinking: ABL engineers understand the “why” behind all design decisions, operational events and test outcomes
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity: ABL engineers must be comfortable defining their own pathway to an objective
  • End-to end ownership: projects are delivered fully complete and ready for flight
