We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in embedded system firmware and software to join our Emerging Technology team. This individual will be a key contributor in the development of embedded control systems design, build, integration, test, and qualification for operation of deployed quantum systems and sensors in space, terrestrial, and lab-based environments. Initially, this role will be in support of a technology demonstration mission in collaboration with NASA JPL/Goddard that will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind quantum gravity gradient (QGG) sensor on a dedicated satellite. The successful candidate will collaborate with an extended team of electrical engineers, physicists, mechanical engineers, embedded systems engineers, systems engineers, and sub vendors to develop high performance, radiation tolerant, and robust circuits critical to the operation of this exciting new quantum sensing capability demonstrator.  Key Responsibilities  Execute engineering projects and deliver them on time and budget  Collaborate with engineers, physicists, and technicians to troubleshoot and debug existing circuit boards and control systems in use  Perform quality and performance analysis on new and legacy electrical systems  Work with other engineering disciplines on electrical, mechanical, and thermal interface requirements and design  Summarize data and report on test results  Provide estimates of resources needed to deliver successful projects on schedule and budget.   Manage and mentor peers and more junior team members to ensure project success  Communicating with key stakeholders on progress, barriers, and status  Other duties or projects as assigned to ensure mission success  About the Team  You’ll join a passionate and experienced team developing one of the world's first space-deployable quantum gravity sensors. This effort is foundational to future navigation, earth science, and resource exploration missions.  Travel  Up to 10% local travel may be required.  Minimum Qualifications  Bachelors or master’s degree in Embedded Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent  At least four years of experience in a relevant industry or field  Highly proficient in at least one of the two following areas, proficiency in both areas preferred:  Embedded system firmware development in Rust. If you have relevant expertise but with C/C++, you may still be successful in this role if you have interest in Rust and have some idea of how Rust can be used to rapidly develop safe and performant systems  FPGA development, specifically with Xilinx FPGAs, along with experience creating testbenches and verifying complex designs. Experience with Microblaze processors, or high-level synthesis/testing languages like SpinalHDL or cocotb is a plus.  Proficient in MS Office  Good verbal and written communication skills, able to effectively share information with technical and non-technical staff  Good collaboration skills, able to work in a team environment where engagement and participation are an expected part of successful job performance  Experience mentoring and managing more junior engineers  This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license  Preferred Qualifications  Experience with space-deployed systems and the associated challenging vibration, thermal, and radiation environment   Experience with Contract Electronic Manufacturing  Experience mentoring and managing more junior engineers  Working Conditions and Physical Requirements  Work will normally be performed in an office and laboratory environment and around technical equipment including computers and lasers.  Able to sit, stand, bend, lift and carry up to 40 pounds without assistance.  Able to efficiently use automated office equipment such as laptops, copiers, and printers; able to effectively engage in communications (via phone, computer, or in-person).  Any required Personal Protective Equipment will be provided and must be properly used in accordance with company requirements.
