Associates Systems LLC, San Jose, California, United States, 95199
Electrical Avionics Engineer – Key Role Overview
Come join our growing team of enterprising engineers paving a way to the next frontier of space transportation. This is a full time opportunity with a host of benefits. All qualified resumes will be responded to in 24hrs or less. Due to the nature of this work candidates must be a U.S. Citizen.
Preferred Skills & Experience
Proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
Experience designing space-environment electronics (LEO/GEO/deep space): radiation, thermal, vibration, fault tolerance.
Ability to define spacecraft avionics architectures and develop system budgets.
Hands‑on experience with radiation testing.
Familiarity with embedded software and firmware integration.
Deep expertise in at least one domain:
High‑speed digital: FPGAs, processors, memory, high‑speed buses
Power electronics: converters, load switches
RF electronics: mixers, oscillators, PAs
Mixed‑signal electronics: ADC/DACs, sensors, analog front‑ends
Skill with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice.
Experience designing fault‑tolerant avionics for mission‑critical operation.
Core Responsibilities
Design and develop avionics units in one or more of the following areas:
Flight computers, data handling, and payload interfaces
Power converters and power distribution
Attitude‑determination sensors and imaging systems
Radio communication systems
High‑power microwave amplifiers
Perform PCB schematic capture and layout, and lead technical reviews of electronics designs.
Develop and execute test plans for space‑qualification (Thermal, vibration, radiation, EMC/EMI). Mil‑Std883E or 1540 OR Nasa STD‑7002.
Prior work on DoD or U.S. Government programs a plus. DOD Secret a plus.
Education & Experience
BS in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
5–8 years relevant engineering experience.
