Senior Electrical Engineer, Systems Integration with Security Clearance

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. RESPONSIBILITIES
• Own requirements decomposition and flow-down across avionics and electrical power subsystems, ensuring traceability from customer and program-level requirements to component specifications
• Develop, maintain , and negotiate interface control documents (ICDs) between avionics subsystems and broader spacecraft systems, including software, GNC, propulsion, and payloads
• 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
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering , 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 COMPENSATION
• Base Salary: $135,000-$250,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
• Ability to maintain or obtain TS// SCI clearance
• Work Location-this role will be onsite at either our Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA locations, with travel to other sites as needed.
• Work environment-the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands-the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
