Job Description

Lead Avionics & Electrical Systems Engineer

  • Greater Los Angeles Area
  • $145K–$215K base + equity
  • 5 Days on-site in Los Angeles

A well-funded aerospace startup ($10M+ recently raised ) is building next-generation spacecraft powered by a novel propulsion system capable of reaching high-energy orbits and beyond.

The founding team includes engineers from SpaceX, Varda, Relativity, Lockheed, and Terran Orbital , along with alumni of Stanford, Yale, and George Mason. They are currently a small, elite group with deep experience across propulsion, GNC, thermal, and mission reliability systems.

The mission: make space access faster, more flexible, and radically more cost-efficient through breakthrough vehicle and energy architecture.

The Opportunity

This is a ground-floor chance to own avionics and electrical systems for the company’s first orbital vehicle, targeted for early deployment in 2026. You’ll work side-by-side with the founders, architecting and validating the electronics backbone that powers the spacecraft.

You’ll have full design ownership, rapid iteration cycles, and direct influence on a flight program being built from first principles.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design and qualification of flight avionics from concept through launch-ready integration
  • Own end-to-end development of flight computers, power distribution, telemetry, and comms systems
  • Define requirements, perform hardware trade studies, and drive system-level validation
  • Build and operate HITL testbeds and simulation environments
  • Troubleshoot and resolve electrical issues at board and system levels
  • Ensure compliance with aerospace and safety standards
  • Collaborate closely with propulsion, GNC, and software leads

What You’ll Bring

  • Degree in Electrical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent)
  • 5+ years building flight-grade or mission-critical electronics
  • Proven experience designing and qualifying avionics or power systems for harsh environments
  • Strong circuit-design, prototyping, and debugging background
  • Proficiency with PCB tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence, or similar)
  • Familiarity with MIL-STD or aerospace-grade hardware standards
