Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Senior Electrical Engineer will own detailed digital and analog board designs for space vehicle subsystems and power supplies. They will also serve as the technical lead for electrical requirements, collaborating cross-functionally to deliver flight hardware.
Candidates must have strong demonstrated experience in board design from concept to delivery and familiarity with space-grade bus protocols. Senior-level electrical engineering experience is required, with a preference for FPGA exposure and scripting capabilities.
Loft Orbital is redefining how satellites get built and deployed, and our electrical engineering team is at the heart of that mission. We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who lives and breathes hardware design, someone who wants to sit down and knock out a board, dig into bus protocols, and help shape the next generation of space vehicle subsystems. If you want your fingerprints on real flight hardware - not just theory - this is your seat at the table.
\nAbout this role:As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be a core hardware design resource on a team that's ramping up multiple new board design efforts. You'll:
