We are hiring for an experienced Electrical Engineer responsible for ensuring electrical integrity across spacecraft harnessing systems, with a primary focus on test harnessing and a secondary support role for flight harnessing. This candidate will own the development, validation, and enforcement of harness design standards to mitigate issues such as noise, crosstalk, and unintended behavior.

Key job responsibilities
* Electrical Integrity Ownership: Lead analysis and mitigation strategies for signal degradation, transient susceptibility, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in test harnesses and test systems; extend to flight harnesses as needed.
* Grounding & Shielding Strategy: Define and validate grounding schemes (single-point, multi-point, hybrid) for test systems and shielding approaches for sensitive signal lines.
* Harness Design Standards: Specify technical requirements for:
* Shielded vs unshielded cable use
* Twisted pair implementation
* Low speed, high speed, and RF signals
* Separation and routing guidelines for mixed-signal harnessing
* Design Review Participation: Partner with flight and test engineering teams during early design phases to influence harness design and interconnects to ensure electrical signal integrity.
* Failure Investigations: Serve as the go-to owner for root cause analysis (RCA) of test harness anomalies relating to electrical integrity, test harness and verification anomalies, and electromechanical test system.
* Documentation & Compliance: Develop interface control documents (ICDs), block interconnect diagrams (BIDs), electrical schematics, test harnessing specifications, and a signal integrity standards library.
