Spacekinetic Electrical Engineer role focused on designing, building, and maturing electrical prototypes for Space Kinetic’s core technology. Responsible for refining electrical architecture and driving system readiness for flight configurations.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and build electrical prototypes for Space Kinetic’s core technology.
Refine and finalize and the current prototype's electrical design to support all phases of prototype maturation.
Undertake and complete circuit design tasks, generate detailed schematics, and perform component selection aligned with environmental and system requirements.
Apply detailed tolerancing, design-for-manufacture principles, and thorough documentation across all electrical prototype phases.
Support PCB layout design and coordinate with external vendors for fabrication and assembly of PCB components.
Collaborate closely with the Space Kinetic manufacturing and engineering team to integrate electrical systems into mechanical assemblies.
Verify and validate your electrical designs through testing, troubleshooting, debugging, and iteration to improve system reliability and performance.
Actively participate in design reviews, contribute to system-level engineering discussions, and ensure the electrical subsystem progresses toward flight-readiness.
Support the creation and maintenance of electrical documentation, including BOMs, wiring diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and test procedures.
Ensure each design iteration moves the system closer to a flight-ready prototype aligned with Space Kinetic’s 2-year flight demonstration goal.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematic) field.
A minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on electrical engineering experience, ideally involving prototype development.
