Join our small, agile, and mission-driven team where your work has real impact and your growth has no limits. We're not just reaching for the starswe're engineering them. Let's innovate the infinite, together.

A day in the life : as a hardware engineer ii, you'll design and develop analog, power, and embedded systems for next-gen spacecraft. You'll work across multiple projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance space hardware from concept to launchguiding pcb layouts, solving complex challenges, and ensuring signal integrity throughout the design process. You'll also be deeply involved in performance testing, sustainment support, and the continuous enhancement of mission-critical electronic systems.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop hardware systems : lead the design, testing, and debugging of analog, power, and embedded board-level electronic systems with high-speed digital interfaces such as rocket i / o, ethernet, pci-e, ddr, rs-422, and lvds.
• Provide pcb design support : guide internal and external layout teams with stack-up configuration, signal / power integrity requirements, and high-speed routing constraints.
• Collaborate across disciplines : work closely with software, firmware (hdl), mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure full subsystem integration; contribute to peer design reviews and mentor junior engineers.
• Create and review documentation : develop and review detailed specifications, interface control documents (icds), test procedures, and user manuals for new and existing hardware.
• Conduct signal and power integrity analysis : simulate circuitry in spice and perform advanced signal and power integrity analysis to ensure robust performance in radiation- and emi-sensitive environments.
• Support manufacturing and test : provide hands-on support for hardware troubleshooting, integration, test automation (e.g., python, powershell), and manufacturing processes throughout the product lifecycle.
