Description
About this RoleAs a Varda Avionics Hardware Engineer, you will design, manufacture, test, and represent electrical components used to fly and manufacture products in space.
In this role you will have immense ownership of hardware through all lifecycle phases. Get excited to deliver and test products that will go to space and back
Some people say that you only have one chance to fly to space so you must be certain it will work.
We stress our components above and beyond the levels it should expect to see in flight, and we investigate our failures thoroughly.
Come join our team and build quality electronics that you love to see fly over and over again.Responsibilities
Develop mixed-signal designs and shepherd them through the full product lifecycle including requirements definition, design, development, qualification, and release to production
Support avionics architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and roadmap direction
Support risk analyses, design for test/manufacture/cost, and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies
Design electrical circuit boards
Collaborate on mechanical design fit, form, and function
Functionally test your hardware through thermal, vibe, shock, TVAC, and EMI
Write vehicle level integration test plans to validate for flight
Perform root cause analysis for test failures and develop mitigation strategies for flight risks
Example of Avionics Products you'll be working on: flight computers, networking, star trackers, reaction wheels, magnetorquers, payload controllers, battery packs, solar charger, RF transceiver and decoder
Basic Qualifications
B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineer or related field with 3+ years of direct experience in electronics hardware development
Demonstrated experience developing electrical circuit boards and delivering a working product
Strong sense of ownership and responsibility for components you contribute towards
Strong hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, function generators, benchtop digital multimeters, and power supplies
Understanding of analog/digital filtering, mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, and test
Knowledge of signal integrity, power, grounding, and general board layout principles
Experience programming in Python, MATLAB, or another scripting/data analysis language
Understanding of sensor and actuator technologies including: RTD's, pressure transducers, DC brushless motors, solenoid valves, thermocouples, hydraulic servo valves, LVDT, RVDT, Rotary/Linear Encoders
