Electrical Engineer II-III, CD&H

True Anomaly is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design and development of electrical system architectures for our next-generation space vehicles. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, you will contribute to system-level electrical architecture development, system reliability analysis, and integration of power, data, and control systems across the spacecraft. This role emphasizes growing your systems engineering skills — learning to think about how electrical subsystems interact, how components meet mission requirements, and how system-level decisions impact overall spacecraft performance. You'll work on cutting-edge space vehicle technology alongside a multidisciplinary team while developing expertise in both electrical design and systems thinking.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Support development of electrical system architectures and block diagrams for spacecraft avionics under senior engineer guidance

Create and maintain system-level documentation including block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and interface specifications

Contribute to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) activities, documenting failure modes and assisting with risk assessments

Assist in reviewing and evaluating electrical components and COTS products, researching datasheets and specifications to support component selection decisions

Support component qualification planning including evaluation of environmental specifications, derating requirements, and reliability data

Design electrical circuits and subsystems for avionics applications including power supplies, sensor interfaces, and control circuits

Create electrical schematics, BOMs, and assembly drawings using CAD tools (Altium, OrCAD, or similar)

Perform circuit analysis including power calculations, voltage drop analysis, and basic worst-case analysis under senior engineer review

Support electrical system analysis activities including power budgets, load flow studies, and interface verification

Participate in hardware bring-up, debugging, and testing using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analyzers)

Execute test procedures for electrical verification including functional testing, continuity checks, and environmental test support

Document test results, create test reports, and track issues through resolution

Collaborate with harness design teams on cable specifications, connector selections, and routing requirements

Support integration and test activities including spacecraft-level electrical checkout and systems testing

Participate in design reviews presenting analysis results, design status, and test data

Maintain electrical system documentation including design files, test data, analysis reports, and as-built records

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field

2–7 years of professional experience in electrical engineering, circuit design, or related technical discipline
