payload logical architecture. From proposal creation to designing schematics to working
hands on in the harness lab to watching a satellite being pushed onto a truck and taken to
the launch site, you'll have a hand in it all.
This position's internal job code is Wire Design & Install Engineer. Our team is currently
hiring for Levels 4-5.
Responsibilities
Development & analysis of EWIS architectures for multiple programs and bus
configurations from mission and scientific payloads to experimental LEO small sats
to MEO constellations and GEO vehicles.
Generation of subsystem or unit-to-unit electrical block diagrams.
Definition and documentation of signal connectivity through cross functional
coordination with system, subsystem, and product engineers for spacecraft
harness or printed wiring board design.
Selection of harness components and hardware, such connectors, backshells, and
wire/cable based on applicable satellite mission requirements and industry
standards.
Performance of voltage drop analysis, power current derating, and capacitance
circuit analysis for harness and printed wiring boards.
Development and analysis of PCB designs determination board form factor,
schematic capture, board stack determination, component placement and trace
routing.
Generation of rigid or rigid-flex PCB, PCB Assembly Drawings, fabrication &
assembly output files (Geber, ODB , etc.)
Generation harness schematic diagrams, wire diagrams, and wire harness assembly
drawings.
Preparation and generation of harness acceptance testing procedures including the
development of harness test scripts for cable testers.
Participation of critical programmatic milestones (Preliminary Design Reviews,
Critical Design Reviews, etc.) including the preparation of data packages,
conduction of design reviews, and closure of any liens from the Milestone Decision
Authority (MDA).
Support assembly and testing of FlatSat and flight harnesses while reporting on cost
and schedule performance.
Capture of as-built, made on assembly mockup harness builds to produce 2D/3D
formboards.
Support with the creation, maintenance, or update of harness design, assembly,
and test standards and command media.
Support in proposals and business development efforts as the responsible
engineering authority (REA).
Management of external suppliers and subcontractors for harness and printed
circuit board delivery.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's or higher degree in Electrical Engineering, related technical discipline
considered.
Level 4: Minimum 9 years of relevant engineering experience with Bachelor's degree
or 7 years with higher degree .
Level 5: Minimum 14 years of relevant engineering experience with Bachelor's
degree or 12 years with higher degree.
Ability to create detail-oriented designs while not losing sight of the higher-level
design requirements. Must be versatile and able to perform and manage multiple
tasks and/or missions concurrently.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with others.
Work and execute independently with minimal technical oversight. Typically
provides a leadership role for missions through advanced knowledge in electrical
harness design.
Ability to determine work priorities based on broad direction from leadership team.
Requires limited tactical guidance and helps determine own strategic priorities for
daily tasking.
Ability to create/revise technical documents for programmatic or strategic tasking.
Demonstrated understanding of Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Test of
electrical wire harnesses and/or printed circuit boards.
Demonstrated experience training and mentoring early career engineers.
This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the
U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.
Preferred Qualifications
Active DoD TS/SCI Clearance.
Experience leading harness engineering teams in a fast-paced engineering
environment.
Experience with the successful design and delivery of spacecraft or aircraft wire
harnesses and/or printed circuit boards. Rigid-flex PCB design preferred.
Experience with early life-cycle satellite engineering activities, spacecraft
integration and test, and launch operations.
Experience with Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS).
Proficient using harness design software tools such as Mentor Graphics, E3 Zuken,
or CATIA and with Microsoft Access and Visio.
Proficient using PCB design software tools such as Nexus Zuken or Siemens
Xpedition.
Knowledge of harness design standards and specifications for spaceflight
applications (MIL-HDBK-83575, MIL-HDBK-863, SAE AS50881, etc.).
Knowledge of PCB design standard and specifications (IPC-2221, 2222, 2223, IPCA-600, etc.)
Extensive knowledge of military standards of connectors, wires, and contacts for
aerospace applications (MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-24308, MIL-DTL-83513, NEMAWC27500, SAE-AS22759, etc.)
