Senior Electrical Engineer

Looking to step into a role where you own the full design lifecycle and have real influence on cutting-edge space systems? Our client is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their space engineering team, supporting the development of advanced fluid control systems.

What You’ll Be Doing as a Senior Electrical Engineer:

You’ll be embedded within a project team as the primary electrical engineer, taking ownership from requirements through final validation.

Your work will include:

• Designing and developing control systems for motor-operated valves
• Leading architecture, circuit design, and system integration
• Supporting both new product development and enhancements to existing systems
• Collaborating cross-functionally with ECAD, mechanical, and systems teams
• Participating in bids, proposals, and technical documentation

You’ll typically manage 2–3 concurrent projects, with a strong emphasis on design (≈80%) and hands-on lab/testing work (≈20%).

Requirements of the Senior Electrical Engineer:

• Experience with motor design and control systems
• Strong CCA-level circuit design (board-level ownership)
• Solid background in analog circuit design
• Experience working with sensors in control environments
• Ability to work both independently and cross-functionally

Whats In It For You as a Senior Electrical Engineer:

• High ownership: Be the go-to electrical engineer on your projects
• Growth opportunity: Get in early and help shape the future of this project team
• Autonomy: Work with a high degree of independence while collaborating across engineering groups
• Career mobility: Engineers here have successfully moved across teams and grown internally

If you're looking for a role where you can own designs end-to-end, work on meaningful hardware, and grow quickly within a strong engineering organization, this is worth a conversation. Please get in touch with Rabeel Imrane, 1(626)630-8659, rabeel.imrane@rps-recruitment.com
