Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in embedded system firmware and software to join our Emerging Technology team. This individual will be a key contributor in the development of embedded control systems design, build, integration, test, and qualification for operation of deployed quantum systems and sensors in space, terrestrial, and lab-based environments. Initially, this role will be in support of a technology demonstration mission in collaboration with NASA JPL / Goddard that will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind quantum gravity gradient (QGG) sensor on a dedicated satellite. The successful candidate will collaborate with an extended team of electrical engineers, physicists, mechanical engineers, embedded systems engineers, systems engineers, and sub vendors to develop high performance, radiation tolerant, and robust circuits critical to the operation of this exciting new quantum sensing capability demonstrator.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute engineering projects and deliver them on time and budget
  • Collaborate with engineers, physicists, and technicians to troubleshoot and debug existing circuit boards and control systems in use
  • Perform quality and performance analysis on new and legacy electrical systems
  • Work with other engineering disciplines on electrical, mechanical, and thermal interface requirements and design
  • Summarize data and report on test results
  • Provide estimates of resources needed to deliver successful projects on schedule and budget.
  • Manage and mentor peers and more junior team members to ensure project success
  • Communicating with key stakeholders on progress, barriers, and status
  • Other duties or projects as assigned to ensure mission success

About the Team

You’ll join a passionate and experienced team developing one of the world's first space-deployable quantum gravity sensors. This effort is foundational to future navigation, earth science, and resource exploration missions.

Travel

Up to 10% local travel may be required.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelors or master’s degree in Embedded Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
  • At least four years of experience in a relevant industry or field
