Avionics Electrical Engineer

StarpathStarpath Robotics is developing a full stack solution for commercial scale rocket propellant production on the Moon and Mars. We are building one of the key enabling technologies that will make Humans a multi-planet species.If high ownership, fast pace, working with hardware, and solving challenging problems sounds like a dream come true, come join the team!Avionics EngineerIn this role, you will design, manufacture, and test electronic devices across Starpath's product line. You'll conduct high level trades to determine specifications, often driving down cost by order(s) of magnitude relative to the state of the art.ResponsibilitiesPrototype PCBAs for motion control, power management, and radio communicationDefine & justify system requirements, conduct trade space analysis, and document decisionsDesign, manufacture, assemble, and test prototype hardware on rapid iteration timelinesInterface with adjacent teams to integrate hardware into corresponding mechanical subsystems, with an emphasis on ease of manufacturing and meeting frequent system integration pointsDetermine qualification and acceptance testing criteria with common published testing standards (ie. NASA SMC-S-016) in mindRequired QualificationsUndergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering2+ years of experience building, testing, and debugging PCBAsDesire and capability to lead a fast and well coordinated teamA desire to make Humans a multi-planet speciesPreferred QualificationsMasters Degree in Electrical Engineering3+ years of experience building circuit boardsExperience in developing low BOM cost electronics for deep space applications, including knowledge of techniques for low cost component selectionExperience up-screening low cost components for space applicationsDesire and capability to develop hardware on rapid timelinesDesire and capability to own hardware from prototype to productionDesire and capability to build test support hardware (custom harnessing, fixtures, etc.) and facilitate test campaignsA strong desire to make Humans a multi-planet speciesPosition DetailsLocation: Los Angeles (Hawthorne), CASalary base rate is $90-$180k/yr, plus equity package; compensation scales with candidate experiencePTO & health/dental/vision coverage includeEAR REQUIREMENTS:To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
