By combining high-performance materials, precision aerodynamics, and mission-driven autonomy, Inversion is transforming reentry into an operational capability for an entirely new class of missions.\nThe company’s highly maneuverable reentry spacecraft, Arc, is designed for rapid global cargo delivery, hypersonic testing, and other national security missions that require precise, controlled flight through the atmosphere. Arc creates an entirely new transportation domain, unlocking unprecedented speed and global reach.\nHeadquartered in Los Angeles, Inversion designs, manufactures, and integrates its spacecraft under one roof, enabling the company to move rapidly from concept to flight. The company is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, with customers across the U.S. government and commercial space industry.\nPosition Overview:\nAs an Electronics Integration and Development Engineer at Inversion, you will work as part of the simulation team to design and develop the hardware-in-the-loop testbeds for our flight systems. You will own the integration of flight, simulation, and test hardware, and will be responsible for everything from making wiring harnesses to designing PCBs and writing code. The simulation team is responsible for ensuring that flight software and flight hardware can be continuously integrated and tested under realistic flight conditions. You will play a key role in the design, development, and integration of specialized hardware and software that will enable fast, repeatable development and deployment workflows across the engineering stack. The ideal candidate is a tinkerer who enjoys hands-on experimentation with embedded systems (such as microcontrollers and single-board computers) to quickly turn ideas into prototypes but also has the ability to turn those prototypes into production-ready hardware. Your work will empower Inversion’s engineering teams to iterate rapidly throughout the development life cycle and will strengthen Inversion’s ability to put our products into the hands of our customers with unprecedented speed and agility.\nKey Reponsibilities:\nIntegrate and develop electronics hardware needed to enable on-demand, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflows\nCreate schematics and layouts for custom hardware (wiring harnesses and PCBs), with a focus on interface boards, breakout systems, and inter-system connectivity\nPerform hands-on assembly of prototype wiring harnesses and PCBs\nOwn the transition from prototype to production, including overseeing external fabrication and assembly\nAnalyze circuit performance to ensure design meets requirements and perform acceptance testing to ensure hardware meets specifications\nWrite software as needed (e.g.: embedded software for micros, test scripts, etc.)\nContribute to the design and development of a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources to support simulation workflows\nRequired Qualifications:\n5+ years of professional experience in electronics integration, development, and testing\nExperience with custom wiring harness design and assembly, including connector selection, pin mapping, wire sizing, and shielding strategies for EMI/EMC\nExperience using common laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, data acquisition systems, etc.)\nBasic coding proficiency in one or more programming languages\nExperience using PCBA design tools (Altium Designer, EAGLE, KiCad, etc.)\nExperience implementing mixed-signal PCBs with digital communications (UART, I2C, SPI, RS422, RS485, CAN, PCIe, Ethernet, Spacewire, etc.)\nMust have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government Secret/Top Secret security clearance. \nDesired Qualifications: \nExpertise in PCB design and best practices for production-ready hardware\nExpertise in one or more scripting languages (Python, Lua, Bash, PowerShell, etc.) and/or embedded C/C++\nExperience designing high-reliability and/or safety-critical systems (e.g., for spacecraft or automotive applications)\nOur office headquarters is located in Playa Vista, CA. This position requires in office presence.\nThe California annual base salary for this role is currently $140,000 - 170,000 Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity. \nITAR Compliance:\nTo conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
