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 Technician (Prime) III 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 Technician (Prime) III to own the creation and management of electronic CAD designs, including schematics, PCB layouts, and simulations for the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) Portable Life Support System (PLSS).
The AxEMU PLSS contains flight computers, radios, sensors, and network switches that enable communication and control during all aspects of a spacewalk. You will be responsible for creating electrical designs for the PCBs that will be used to 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: design rule checks, PCB card layout, manufacturing readiness, supplier data intake, and review package preparation.
KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop detailed electronic schematics and PCB designs using ECAD software, ensuring accuracy and compliance with design specifications and industry standards
Maintain and update component libraries, ECAD tools, and templates to optimize workflow efficiency and ensure consistency across projects
Perform design rule checks and simulations to verify electrical integrity, signal integrity, and manufacturability of PCB layouts
Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to address design iterations, resolve conflicts, and ensure smooth transition from prototype to production
Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including installation guides, maintenance manuals, and design specifications for internal use
Assist in testing, debugging, and resolving issues during development and production phases to ensure high-quality deliverables
Document design decisions, trade studies, and verification plans
Communicate progress, status, and issues honestly and early, including when something is not working
Perform additional job duties as assigned
