Avionics Engineer
Wardstone, El Segundo, California
The role
Overview
You will own the electronics on Wardstone’s interceptors, from board-level design and power systems to sensor integration, harnessing, and the electrical interface to the launcher. This is a hands-on role. You’ll design boards, build and debug them yourself, and take them through qualification to flight.
You’ll work directly with the founders and with the seeker, GNC, embedded software, propulsion, and mechanical engineers. Your hardware will fly and intercept targets.
What you need
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 2+ years designing and fielding electronics hardware, including at least one system taken from design through test. Student rocketry or similar project teams count.
- Strong PCB design experience (Altium, KiCad, or similar), including mixed-signal and power electronics.
- Strong fundamentals in circuit analysis, signal integrity, noise, grounding, and EMI/EMC.
