Senior Electrical Engineer, Systems Integration
Job Description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
- Be the offset.We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
YOUR MISSION
True Anomaly is seeking a talented and driven Electrical Engineer to lead cross domain systems integration and coordination across our avionics subsystems. You will own the systems engineering and technical coordination discipline that ties these domains together — driving requirements decomposition, interface definition, integration planning, verification strategy, and schedule execution across the full spacecraft avionics architecture. You will represent the Space Vehicle Avionics team in design reviews and customer engagements, translating complex multi-discipline technical challenges into clear decisions, actionable plans, and coordinated execution across engineering teams.

Lead cross-domain integration planning across digital systems, FPGA, EPS, and communications disciplines to ensure architectural coherence and minimize interface risk
Drive technical and programmatic trade studies that span avionics subsystem boundaries, synthesizing inputs from power, digital, and hardware teams to produce clear recommendations with supporting analysis
Lead and
participate
in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) as the avionics systems engineering representative, presenting architecture, interface, and verification status to internal stakeholders and customers
Interpret and
adjudicate
customer specifications,
identifying
areas of risk, ambiguity, or non-compliance and driving resolution with engineering and program stakeholders
Develop and
maintain
the avionics verification and validation strategy, ensuring requirements are verifiable and mapped to
appropriate test
or analysis methods
Collaborate with EPS engineers on power budget development, distribution architecture trades, and power system interface definition
Work with hardware design engineers on unit-level requirements, interface specifications, and integration planning across the avionics architecture
Support sprint planning, milestone tracking, and schedule development in coordination with the Program Office, keeping the Avionics Subsystem team on track and dependencies visible
Identify
and track technical and programmatic risks across the avionics domain, driving mitigation plans in collaboration with subsystem leads and the Program Office
Develop and
maintain
avionics program documentation including technical plans, schedules, review packages, and status reports
Mentor junior engineers in systems engineering practices, requirements discipline, and cross-functional problem solving
QUALIFICATIONS

, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
5–10 years of professional experience in technical program management, systems engineering, avionics engineering, or a related technical discipline
Proven
track record
of coordinating multi-discipline hardware programs from requirements through integration and test
Demonstrated experience with requirements decomposition, flow-down, and traceability management for electrical or avionics systems
Experience developing and managing interface control documents across complex, multi-discipline hardware programs
Strong technical fundamentals with the ability to engage credibly with engineers across EPS, digital systems, FPGA, communications, and harness disciplines
Experience leading or supporting design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) with internal and external stakeholders
Demonstrated ability to manage schedules, track dependencies, and coordinate work across multiple engineering disciplines
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with
demonstrated
ability to convey technical information clearly to both engineering and program management audiences
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
, Systems Engineering, or related field
PMP, PMI-ACP, or equivalent program management certification
Experience with spacecraft avionics architectures including flight computers, EPS, data handling systems, and harness design
Familiarity with spacecraft power system design, power budgeting, and distribution architectures
Experience with digital communications interfaces and protocols used in spacecraft systems
Proficiency
with requirements management tools such as DOORS, Jama, or Confluence
Experience with project management and collaboration tools (Jira, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or similar)
Demonstrated experience
facilitating
agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, stand-ups) for hardware engineering teams
Experience managing technical risks, dependencies, and critical path activities across complex hardware programs
