Senior Avionics Ground Systems Engineer (Electrical)

Join Impulse, a leading aerospace company, as a Senior Avionics Ground Systems Engineer (Electrical). In this role, you will develop and integrate ground systems that interface with flight avionics, command and control systems, instrumentation, and vehicle networks. You will work closely with various teams to deliver high-performance data acquisition and control solutions. This position offers a competitive salary, equity allocation, and generous PTO policy.

• Develop and integrate ground systems that interface with flight avionics, command and control systems, instrumentation, and vehicle networks.
• Own hardware through the full lifecycle, including architecture, schematic development, fabrication, integration, validation, and deployment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with avionics, propulsion, software, test, and operations teams to deliver reliable systems on aggressive schedules.

• This position is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy hands-on hardware development, and want to see their systems operate from initial concept through launch
• Familiarity with common aerospace and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet, RS-422, CAN etc.) and networking (TCP/IP, CAT5, serial protocols)
• 1+ years of hands-on experience specifying, procuring, integrating, and testing electrical, instrumentation, networking, and computing hardware
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced development and test environments
• Strong understanding of electrical system design fundamentals, including signal integrity, grounding, shielding, EMI/EMC, and power distribution
• 5+ years in designing, building, and deploying electrical ground support equipment, avionics integration hardware, or other high-reliability electrical systems
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• This position requires applicants to be either U.S. Persons (i.e., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent U.S. resident (green card holder), an individual granted asylum in the U.S., or an individual admitted in U.S. refugee status) or persons eligible to obtain an export license from the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, or other applicable U.S. government agencies
• 1+ years of experience with CAD tools such as NX for mechanical integration and layout design
• Understanding of industrial electrical safety practices, including circuit protection, E-stops, safety relays, interlocks, and safe power distribution for hazardous operations
• Prior experience supporting launch campaigns, propulsion testing, or integrated vehicle operations
• Experience designing rack-level systems, harnessing, or enclosure integrations for Avionics or RF products
• Familiarity with test automation, scripting, or controls software (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
• Understanding of networking fundamentals, including addressing, routing, switching, VLANs, latency, packet loss, etc
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, take initiative, and drive hardware development in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
