YOUR MISSION
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
