Staff Electrical Engineer

Overview

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.

Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical security demands.

Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team. A team that will mold tomorrow's technologies while deploying today's best. We are an intrinsically motivated team that has a passion for solving problems and empowering each other every day to develop our skills, knowing that there is always room for growth.

Our propulsion systems cannot function without sensors, actuators, controllers, and other electronic hardware functioning well together. You will work with our Design and Development teams to design avionics systems that meet the requirements of our systems and customers. In this staff role you will be responsible for developing avionics hardware to interface measurement and control components to control software. The hardware will interface with measurement devices and actuators such and valves, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, accelerometers, BLDC motors, and communication busses. Having a solid foundation in electronics for harsh environments and a desire to build avionics for space applications is a must. You will help us define and implement our verification strategy using best practices and customer inputs.

Responsibilities

• Develop mixed-signal designs and shepherd them through the full product life-cycle, including requirements definition, design, development, qualification and release to production.
• Support avionics architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and roadmap direction.
• Perform de-rating analysis, worst case circuit analysis, FMECA, and system reliability analysis.
• Develop avionics systems that interface with sensors and actuators.
• Support definition and implementation of hardware to software interfaces to implement control law and automated test functions.
• Support risk analyses, design for test / manufacture / cost, and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
• Participate in program level technology development, mission and safety objectives, and avionics development process improvements.
• Support rocket engine testing and ground support as necessary
