General Atomics and its affiliated companies are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer to support the development of EO/IR space-based Payloads launched into various earth orbits.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on the technical and performance execution of both conceptual and hardware design of Payload electrical subsystems.

The engineer will work closely with a project team of engineers and business professionals to ensure that electrical subsystems meet overall mission and contractual requirements.

Duties and Responsibilities:

You will be the lead EO/IR Payload electrical engineer responsible for conceptualizing electrical architectures, defining operational concepts, performing trade studies, and generating electrical subsystem level requirements flow-downs (analysis and allocation) inclusive of verification/validation plans.

You will be responsible for creating and maintaining component and payload interface documentation of the electrical systems inclusive of interconnections within the payload and external interfaces between the payload and spacecraft.

You will closely interact with Systems, Optical, Mechanical, and the Integration and Test groups in refining and validating the electrical design and test of the Payload.

You will directly interface with key subcontractors and vendors in managing their design, development, testing, and acceptance of electrical components which are then integrated into the GA Payload.

You will assist in the testing and debug resolution of electrical anomalies at the component and system level and in the determination of root cause and the subsequent corrective action implementation.

You will be a key design contributor of various test equipment used during the payload integration and test. This includes test rack architecture using COTS test equipment and custom test hardware, and the assembly and validation of the test equipment with subsystems and the integrated Payload prior to delivery.

You will be responsible for managing the electrical payload tasks and providing the GA Program team with reports related to technical, cost, and schedule performance of the electrical systems tasks.

May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.

Demonstrated experience with space-qualified design, development, integration, and test of electronics and electrical components used in space environments requiring radiation hardening, thermal, and power constraints, etc.

Demonstrated experience incorporating and interfacing with various imaging sensors including CCDs, CMOS, and other detectors used in electro-optical payloads from visible through long-wave infrared wavelengths.

Knowledge of EMI/EMC/ESD design and test requirements for aerospace hardware including spacecraft level grounding and electrical interface control definitions.

Experience interfacing with subcontractors and vendors including generating detailed specifications and test requirements, providing technical guidance, and issue resolution.

Experience using multiple electrical engineering toolsets including FPGA design, schematic capture, computer-aided design software.

Working knowledge and experience in software coding and analysis using various tools such as Matlab/Python or other similar tools.

Perform design trade studies and analyses to optimize electrical designs relative to performance, cost, size, and weight.

Laboratory and cleanroom experience using test equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other electronic test hardware in the validation and debug of space-grade electronics and components.

Familiarity with the space payload engineering lifecycle process from conceptual design through post-launch support.

Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment and organize work assignments to meet established timetables.

Strong communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills are required, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
