Electrical Engineer, Senior-Staff (eGSE)

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.OUR MISSIONTrue Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.OUR VALUESBe the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.YOUR MISSIONLead the design, development, and delivery of electrical ground support equipment across a program portfolio, setting the technical standard for how we build, scale, and sustain our test infrastructure. You will own rack and enclosure systems from concept through first article, drive standardization across the EGSE portfolio, and serve as a technical anchor for a growing team of engineers and technicians.ResponsibilitiesOwn end-to-end design and delivery of EGSE racks and test enclosures — mechanical layout, electrical schematics, harness design, and full drawing packages from requirements through first article build and check-outLead harness design and fabrication to MIL-spec standards, including connector selection, shielding strategy, crimp inspection, and backshell installation, and define build quality standards for the broader teamEstablish and enforce rack standardization across programs — component selection, parts inventory strategy, and procurement approach to maximize build speed and minimize single-point-of-failure dependenciesDrive signal integrity and power architecture decisions at the rack and enclosure level, including power and data routing, grounding, shielding, and EMI mitigationDevelop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system architecture and expansion across both emulator-based and flight hardware configurationsProvide hands‑on technical support during test campaigns and bring‑up activities, including on‑site support at production and test facilitiesMentor mid‑level engineers and technicians, serving as a technical backstop and escalation point for the teamDevelop and maintain thorough documentation for all GSE designs, processes, and changes to ensure traceability and reduce team dependency on any single individualBasic QualificationsB.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or comparable disciplineHands‑on experience in EGSE, test systems, or hardware engineering in aerospace, defense, or adjacent high‑reliability industries and skill equivalent to engineering levelDemonstrated experience designing and building harnesses, including crimping, connector inspection, backshell installation, and shielding terminationStrong proficiency in both mechanical and electrical hardware design — comfortable owning the 3D layout and the schematic for the same systemRack‑level power and data architecture experience — UPS, lab‑grade power supplies, Linux‑based control systems, and mixed signal/power environmentsSystematic troubleshooting methodology across power and data systemsFamiliarity with common communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet, RS‑232, RS‑422, RS‑485, CAN, I2C, SPI, EtherCAT) and how to support their signal integrity, grounding, and shieldingProficiency with electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, DMMs, electronic loads, function generators, and bench power suppliesPreferred QualificationsAerospace or startup experience — both preferredExperience designing or supporting hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) test systemsMechanical or Electrical CAD experience (e.g. SolidWorks, Altium) including rack layout and schematic capturePCB design exposure and understanding of layout principles as they relate to signal integrityTest software familiarity (e.g. Python, C++) sufficient to collaborate effectively with software engineersPCB and harness rework experienceCompensationBase Salary:Senior Engineer: $150,000‑$220,000Staff Engineer: $160,000‑$250,000Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental LeaveYour actual level and base salary will be determined on a case‑by‑case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job‑related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.Additional RequirementsWork Location—this a fully onsite position based out of our Long Beach, CA or Denver office.Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.This position will be open until it is successfully filled.
