Axiom Space fosters a work environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic Electrical Design Engineer (Sortie), Senior who is fueled by high accountability, execution horsepower, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.
POSITION SUMMARY
Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy Electrical Design Engineer (Sortie), Senior to own the design and development of electrical and electronics components for the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) Power, Avionics, and Control (PAC) system.
The AxEMU PAC is composed of flight computers, radios, sensors, and network switches that enable communication and control during all aspects of a spacewalk. You will be responsible for creating the electrical and electronic components that manage commands, telemetry, and internal data flows, ensuring the suit operates reliably and meets mission objectives. Technical scope grows around that core as you learn the program: interface data checks, PCB card design, test readiness, supplier data intake, and review package preparation.
KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Conceptualization, design, development, testing, and integration of electrical systems
Select and trade avionics architectures to balance performance, power, mass, cost, and reliability
Ensure designs meet radiation hardness, reliability, and resilience standards for space environments
Lead requirements definition and develop Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for integration with other spacecraft systems
Integrate with other suit and test functions including thermal control, flight software, power distribution, test facilities, and test support equipment
Specify functional, performance, and environmental requirements for electrical systems
Document design decisions, trade studies, and verification plans
Provide technical oversight during integration, system-level testing, and acceptance testing
Resolve technical issues and ensure the electrical systems meet all mission-critical performance goals
Lead vendor selection and make/buy decisions, balancing technical risk, schedule, cost, and lifecycle support
Evaluate commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components for suitability and reuse potential
