Job Description

Join True Anomaly, a pioneering company in space security. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead cross-domain systems integration and coordination across our avionics subsystems. You will own the systems engineering and technical coordination discipline, driving requirements decomposition, interface definition, integration planning, verification strategy, and schedule execution across the full spacecraft avionics architecture. You will represent the Space Vehicle Avionics team in design reviews and customer engagements, translating complex multi-discipline technical challenges into clear decisions, actionable plans, and coordinated execution across engineering teams.

  • Lead cross-domain systems integration and coordination across avionics subsystems, driving requirements decomposition, interface definition, integration planning, verification strategy, and schedule execution.
  • Represent the Space Vehicle Avionics team in design reviews and customer engagements, translating complex multi-discipline technical challenges into clear decisions and actionable plans.
  • Develop, maintain, and negotiate interface control documents (ICDs) between avionics subsystems and broader spacecraft systems, ensuring architectural coherence and minimizing interface risk.
  • Experience leading or supporting design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with internal and external stakeholders
  • Proven track record of coordinating multi-discipline hardware programs from requirements through integration and test
  • Strong technical fundamentals with the ability to engage credibly with engineers across EPS, digital systems, FPGA, communications, and harness disciplines
  • Demonstrated experience with requirements decomposition, flow-down, and traceability management for electrical or avionics systems
  • Experience developing and managing interface control documents across complex, multi-discipline hardware programs
  • 5–10 years of professional experience in technical program management, systems engineering, avionics engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to convey technical information clearly to both engineering and program management audiences
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • Demonstrated ability to manage schedules, track dependencies, and coordinate work across multiple engineering disciplines
  • Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field
  • Proficiency with requirements management tools such as DOORS, Jama, or Confluence
  • PMP, PMI-ACP, or equivalent program management certification
  • Experience with project management and collaboration tools (Jira, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or similar)
  • Experience with spacecraft avionics architectures including flight computers, EPS, data handling systems, and harness design
  • Familiarity with spacecraft power system design, power budgeting, and distribution architectures
  • Experience with digital communications interfaces and protocols used in spacecraft systems
  • Demonstrated experience facilitating agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, stand-ups) for hardware engineering teams
  • Experience managing technical risks, dependencies, and critical path activities across complex hardware programs
