Avionics Engineer II

Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth

Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse-drawn chariots, ocean-going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.

What You'll Do :

As an Avionics Engineer at Inversion, you will play a critical role in the design, functionality, and performance of our next-generation reentry vehicles. This is a unique opportunity to work on the early stages of vehicle design, including defining vehicle architecture and creatively solving new design challenges. You will be a key member of the Accurate Landing Team, reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, Accurate Landing. In this role, you will :

  • Design electronic systems capable of enabling the safe recovery of the Arc vehicle anywhere on Earth.
  • Develop analog, power, and mixed-signal circuit designs, harnessing, and rugged electronic hardware assemblies.
  • Test high-performance, accurate landing and recovery systems through aerial drop test campaigns.
  • Qualify your designs through environmental testing, including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing.

Required Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Typically 3+ years of applicable experience in electrical system design, integration, and testing.
  • PCBAs design experience using Altium Designer or other ECAD design software.
  • Experience implementing mixed-signal PCBs with digital communications (UART, I2C, SPI, RS422, RS485, CAN, Ethernet, etc.).
  • Understanding of sensor and actuator technologies, including IMUs, GPS, brushless DC motors, rotary / linear encoders, and resolvers.
  • Experience using programming languages like Python, C / C++, MATLAB, etc. for system development and testing.
  • Experience using common laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and data acquisition systems for the development and debugging of hardware and software systems.
  • Hands-on prototyping (soldering, board assembly, harnessing).
  • Demonstrated excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Capable of working in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment.
  • This position is on-site at Inversion HQ in Playa Vista, CA.
  • Desired Qualifications :

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Familiarity with working with LiDAR, Radar, or Computer Vision for navigation applications.
  • Experience using COTS RF hardware for telemetry, tracking, and commanding of an autonomous system.
  • Experience using Linux-based systems for electrical system development.
  • Experience designing safety-critical, fault-tolerant, or failover-capable electronics.
  • Understanding and experience with requirements, systems design, and test methods for space, launch, and / or reentry environments, including thermal, vibration, shock, EMI / EMC, and radiation.
  • Prior experience in the design and test of qualified aerospace or space-flight hardware.
  • Our office headquarters is located in Playa Vista, CA. This position requires in-office presence.

    The California annual base salary for this role is currently $121,000-$150,000. Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
