As an Electrical Engineer, you will own the design, testing, and integration of the electrical and electronic systems that power and control our spacecraft - from schematic and PCB through harnessing, bring-up, and mission integration, in high-stakes, resource-constrained environments.\nResponsibilities\nDesign spacecraft avionics: schematic capture and PCB layout for power, control, and signal boards\nDesign and build wiring harnesses and manage electrical integration across subsystems\nBring up, test, and debug electronic boards and subsystems\nDevelop and run electrical tests - power, signal integrity, functional, and environmental\nDesign power systems (batteries, power distribution, regulation) and support EPS architecture\nOwn documentation: schematics, ICDs, test procedures, and reports for design reviews\nSet up lab instrumentation and test equipment, and support hardware-in-the-loop testing\nCollaborate closely with mechanical, embedded software, and systems engineers\nSupport spacecraft integration, environmental testing, and anomaly resolution\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field\nSolid foundation in circuit design, analysis, and electronics\nExperience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium, KiCad, or similar)\nComfort with lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, DMMs)\nExposure to at least one programming language (Python, C, or C++)\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe're building technology that hasn't been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you're excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something new, we encourage you to apply - whether you're early in your career or more experienced.\nPreferred Skills\nCreative problem solver with strong first-principles thinking, capable of assessing risk and making decisions with limited data.\nExperience in a nimble, technical engineering role, with a scrappy, entrepreneurial approach to meeting tight time or budget constraints.\nHands-on experience building and testing real electronics - student design teams (rocketry, CubeSat, FSAE), research, or industry\nExperience bringing up custom PCBs from bare board to working hardware\nFamiliarity with power electronics, motor drive, or spacecraft EPS\nExperience with microcontrollers, sensors, and embedded integration\nFamiliarity with communication interfaces (RS422, I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet)\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills, collaborative team player, and detail-oriented with a focus on quality.\nAdditional Requirements\nExtended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.\nThis role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.\nCompensation\nSalary: $75,000 - $110,000 CAD per year\nEquity: 0.1% - 0.5%\nIf you're excited about shaping the future of space systems, we'd love to hear from you.\nPlease submit any projects that you have worked on.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3159,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T02:38:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.318,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77032,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spaceium-inc-electrical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spaceium-inc-electrical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T06:22:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4016,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3779071},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3779071"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-electrical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/spaceium-inc-electrical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-electrical-engineer"}]}
