About General Galactic

General Galactic designs, builds, and flies advanced spacecraft that redefine what’s possible beyond Earth. Led by former SpaceX, Varda, Impulse, and Relativity engineers, our vision is to dominate cislunar space and build the railway to Mars – expanding access to high-energy orbits and enabling the next generation of missions along the way. Based in Los Angeles, California, we’re leveraging our paradigm-shifting water-based technology to reshape the space domain for good.



Job Description

As an Electrical Engineer, you will work closely with a focused technical team to develop critical avionics for our product fleet, including missions flying in 2026 and 2027. You’ll have extreme ownership over your work, move quickly, and operate with high agency. As we grow, there will be opportunities to expand your role with the company. You will contribute to all, and own many, aspects of electrical system development, testing, qualification, and deployment for General Galactic missions and vehicles.



Responsibilities May Include:



  • Architect and deliver spacecraft electrical systems that meet power, performance, reliability, and interface requirements
  • Own schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout, fabrication, assembly, and board bring-up
  • Design avionics, power electronics, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces, and microcontroller-based hardware
  • Develop and integrate spacecraft wiring harnesses, connectors, grounding, shielding, and electrical interface control documents
  • Perform bench testing, debugging, root-cause analysis, and design iteration on flight and ground hardware
  • Support system integration, environmental testing, qualification, and acceptance testing
  • Maintain clear design documentation, schematics, BOMs, test procedures, and test reports



Requirements

Successful applicants should have most of the following:

  • BS in electrical engineering, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field
  • 2 years of electrical hardware development experience, preferably in aerospace
  • Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, and hardware debugging
  • Experience designing analog, digital, power, and embedded electrical systems
  • Familiarity with common interfaces such as CAN, RS-422, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, and discrete I/O
  • Experience with wiring harness design, connector selection, grounding, shielding, and EMC considerations
  • Proficiency with electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, electronic loads, and power supplies
  • Experience with Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, or similar ECAD tools
  • Understanding of component derating, radiation effects, thermal constraints, and high-reliability design
  • Experience with environmental testing, qualification, failure analysis, and corrective actions
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or similarly hands-on environment
  • First-principles approach to solving problems with incomplete information





Your salary and incentives will be determined individually on the basis of the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.



Benefits include medical/vision/dental/PTO/401k/stock options, and more!
