Trueanomalyinc Senior-Staff Electrical Engineer (eGSE) at True Anomaly leads design and delivery of electrical ground support equipment. The role sets technical standards and mentors engineers and technicians.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design and delivery of EGSE racks and test enclosures — mechanical layout, electrical schematics, harness design, and full drawing packages from requirements through first article build and check-out
Lead harness design and fabrication to MIL-spec standards, including connector selection, shielding strategy, crimp inspection, and backshell installation, and define build quality standards for the broader team
Establish and enforce rack standardization across programs — component selection, parts inventory strategy, and procurement approach to maximize build speed and minimize single-point-of-failure dependencies
Drive signal integrity and power architecture decisions at the rack and enclosure level, including power and data routing, grounding, shielding, and EMI mitigation
Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system architecture and expansion across both emulator-based and flight hardware configurations
Provide hands-on technical support during test campaigns and bring-up activities, including on-site support at production and test facilities
Mentor mid-level engineers and technicians, serving as a technical backstop and escalation point for the team
Develop and maintain thorough documentation for all GSE designs, processes, and changes to ensure traceability and reduce team dependency on any single individual

Qualification

Hands-on experience in EGSETest software familiarity (ePCB and harness rework experience

Required

B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or comparable discipline
Hands-on experience in EGSE, test systems, or hardware engineering in aerospace, defense, or adjacent high-reliability industries and skill equivalent to engineering level
Demonstrated experience designing and building harnesses, including crimping, connector inspection, backshell installation, and shielding termination
Strong proficiency in both mechanical and electrical hardware design — comfortable owning the 3D layout and the schematic for the same system
Rack-level power and data architecture experience — UPS, lab-grade power supplies, Linux-based control systems, and mixed signal/power environments
Systematic troubleshooting methodology across power and data systems
Familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN, I2C, SPI, EtherCAT) and how to support their signal integrity, grounding, and shielding
Proficiency with electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, DMMs, electronic loads, function generators, and bench power supplies

Preferred

Aerospace or startup experience — both preferred
Experience designing or supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems
Mechanical or Electrical CAD experience (e.g. SolidWorks, Altium) including rack layout and schematic capture
PCB design exposure and understanding of layout principles as they relate to signal integrity
Test software familiarity (e.g. Python, C++) sufficient to collaborate effectively with software engineers
PCB and harness rework experience
