Senior Electrical Engineer, Systems

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 Senior Electrical Engineering Systems Engineer to lead cross-domain systems engineering across our avionics, RF communications, and electrical power subsystems. Reporting to the Director of Avionics, you will own the systems engineering discipline that ties these domains together — driving requirements decomposition, interface definition, integration planning, and verification strategy across the full spacecraft avionics architecture. You will represent the Avionics Components team in design reviews and customer engagements, translating complex multi-discipline technical challenges into clear decisions and actionable plans.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own requirements decomposition and flow-down across avionics, RF, 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, RF 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, RF, and digital 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
• Collaborate with RF engineers on link budget assumptions, antenna interface requirements, and communications system integration planning
• Support sprint planning, milestone tracking, and schedule development in coordination with the Program Office, keeping the Avionics Components 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 <span data-cc
