System architecture, safety-critical interfaces, design release and changes affecting cost or schedule are reviewed with Shawn Gilmore and the appropriate technical leads.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDevelop electrical architectures and hardware for flight vehicles and mission systems.\nDesign analog, digital, mixed-signal, power and embedded-electronics circuits.\nOwn assigned PCBs from requirements and schematic capture through bring-up, verification and production release.\nDefine electrical interfaces, power budgets, grounding approaches and communications requirements.\nIntegrate flight computers, sensors, actuators, batteries, telemetry and control electronics.\nDevelop test equipment and procedures for board-level and integrated-system verification.\nTroubleshoot electrical failures and drive corrective actions.\nSupport environmental testing, flight testing and the transition to repeatable production.\nCore Responsibilities\nElectrical Architecture and Design\nTranslate system requirements into electrical architectures, interface definitions and detailed hardware designs.\nDevelop schematics, wiring diagrams, system block diagrams and electrical interface documentation.\nDesign and integrate avionics, embedded processing, sensor interfaces, power distribution and control electronics.\nSelect components based on performance, reliability, operating environment, availability, cost and schedule.\nDevelop power budgets and evaluate grounding, shielding, protection and fault-management approaches.\nDefine communications interfaces and electrical requirements between subsystems.\nSupport cable, harness, connector and interconnect design.\nPCB Development and Bring-Up\nOwn assigned boards through schematic capture, layout coordination, fabrication, assembly and verification.\nReview PCB layouts for signal integrity, power integrity, thermal performance, manufacturability and environmental robustness.\nDevelop board-level test plans, bring-up procedures and acceptance criteria.\nDebug prototypes using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies and other appropriate laboratory equipment.\nUse spectrum and network analyzers where required by the hardware under development.\nResolve grounding, electrical-noise, communications and EMI/EMC issues.\nEvaluate component substitutions and support alternative-part qualification and obsolescence management.\nVehicle Integration and Test\nIntegrate electrical hardware into air vehicle and munition platforms.\nSupport hardware-in-the-loop testing, system integration, environmental verification and flight-test activities.\nDevelop breakout boxes, test harnesses, fixtures and electrical ground-support equipment.\nInvestigate intermittent faults and failures across hardware, firmware and subsystem interfaces.\nAnalyze telemetry and electrical-performance data from ground and flight tests.\nPerform root-cause investigations and verify corrective actions.\nSupport qualification for applicable shock, vibration, temperature and electromagnetic environments.\nManufacturing and Production Support\nApply design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test principles throughout development.\nDevelop manufacturing test procedures and electrical acceptance criteria.\nWork with suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve fabrication, assembly and test issues.\nReview supplier designs, component selections, test results and proposed hardware deviations.\nMaintain controlled schematics, bills of materials, interface documents and engineering change records.\nIncorporate build and test feedback into subsequent hardware revisions.\nSupport the transition from development electronics to repeatable production hardware.\nCross-Functional Engineering\nCoordinate with mechanical, GNC, propulsion, software, test, manufacturing and program teams.\nEnsure electrical designs account for mechanical packaging, thermal constraints, software interfaces and system-level requirements.\nParticipate in design reviews and communicate technical decisions, assumptions and risks.\nIdentify integration dependencies early and track issues through resolution.\nDocument methods and results so other engineers can reproduce tests and understand design decisions.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nBachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a closely related discipline.\nMinimum of three years of relevant electrical or avionics hardware-development experience.\nStrong fundamentals in analog, digital, power and embedded-electronics design.\nExperience developing schematics and supporting PCB layout, fabrication and assembly.\nProficiency with Altium Designer, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, KiCad or comparable tools.\nHands-on experience bringing up and debugging prototype electronics.\nFamiliarity with interfaces such as CAN, RS-422/485, Ethernet, SPI, I²C and UART.\nProficiency with standard electrical laboratory and diagnostic equipment.\nUnderstanding of grounding, shielding, signal integrity, power integrity and electrical-noise mitigation.\nWorking knowledge of EMI/EMC considerations in hardware design and integration.\nExperience supporting integrated hardware testing.\nClear technical writing and communication skills.\nAbility to manage assigned work, identify risks early and follow through on corrective actions.\nU.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.\nPreferred\nExperience developing avionics for missiles, guided munitions, UAS, rockets, spacecraft or other flight vehicles.\nExperience with flight computers, motor controllers, actuator electronics, propulsion controls or safety-critical electrical interfaces.\nExperience designing battery-management, power-conversion or high-current power-distribution hardware.\nExperience with high-density or high-speed digital PCB design.\nExperience with RF electronics, telemetry, GPS/GNSS receivers or communications hardware.\nExperience developing embedded C/C++ firmware or hardware-interface software.\nFamiliarity with FPGA- or microcontroller-based systems.\nExperience with DO-160, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810 or comparable environmental standards.\nExperience qualifying electronics for shock, vibration, high-acceleration and thermal environments.\nExperience developing automated test equipment and production-test processes.\nActive U.S. government security clearance.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nAn engineer who takes ownership from schematic through integrated hardware.\nA practical problem-solver who can distinguish an electrical symptom from its root cause.\nSomeone who understands both board-level behavior and vehicle-level interactions.\nA hands-on builder who anticipates integration problems and troubleshoots systematically.\nA clear communicator who documents decisions, flags uncertainty and asks for the right support.\nSomeone who treats test results as evidence for improving the next hardware iteration.\nMission first. Focused on electronics that work reliably after leaving the lab.\nGrowth Opportunity\nYou’ll develop broad ownership of electrical hardware across design, integration, testing and production. As Tiberius grows, you’ll have opportunities to lead more complex assemblies, influence subsystem architectures and take on greater technical responsibility across flight programs.\nCompensation & Benefits\n120,000-175,000 annual base salary, commensurate with experience, technical expertise and scope of responsibility\nEquity participation\nComprehensive health benefits\n401(k)\nSpecific compensation and benefits will be discussed during the interview process.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nTiberius Aerospace Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
