Full Job Description

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.

Who We're Looking For

We are seeking a motivated and technically capable Electrical Engineer I to support the design, development, integration, and testing of spacecraft electrical systems and next-generation space technologies. In this role, you will contribute to the development of spacecraft avionics, communications, power systems, embedded electronics, and hardware integration while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams across the full spacecraft lifecycle.

You will play a key role in developing reliable, flight-ready electrical hardware that enables mission success for national security, civil, and commercial space programs. This position is ideal for an early-career engineer who is eager to work hands-on with cutting-edge aerospace hardware in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Where You'll Make an Impact

Support the design, analysis, integration, and testing of spacecraft electrical systems and subsystems
Assist in the development of avionics hardware, electrical interfaces, wiring harnesses, communications systems, and spacecraft power distribution architectures
Perform schematic capture, electrical analysis, component selection, and support printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout activities
Support spacecraft hardware integration and testing in laboratory, cleanroom, and environmental test environments
Perform electrical troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory instrumentation
Assist with hardware bring-up, validation testing, anomaly investigation, and corrective action implementation
Develop and maintain engineering documentation including schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), wiring diagrams, test procedures, and design records
Collaborate with software, propulsion, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and integration teams to support spacecraft development and verification
Participate in design reviews, technical trade studies, failure investigations, and engineering assessments
Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance electrical design processes, testing methodologies, and system reliability

What It Takes

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline
0–3 years of professional engineering experience in aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, or another high-reliability engineering environment
Fundamental understanding of analog and digital electronics principles
Familiarity with circuit design, schematic development, electrical analysis, and troubleshooting techniques
Experience using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, power supplies, and logic analyzers
Exposure to embedded systems, avionics hardware, spacecraft electrical architectures, or similar complex electronic systems
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills
Ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative product development environment

Nice-to-Have Experience

Experience supporting spacecraft, satellite, avionics, robotics, aerospace, or defense programs
Familiarity with spacecraft communication protocols including RS-422, RS-485, SpaceWire, LVDS, Ethernet, I2C, and SPI
Experience using ECAD tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, or similar platforms
Exposure to FPGA development, microcontrollers, embedded software, or hardware/software integration
Experience with electrical simulation tools such as LTspice or equivalent
Familiarity with environmental qualification testing including thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, EMI/EMC, or shock testing
Programming or automation experience using Python or similar scripting languages
Knowledge of ESD control practices, cleanroom operations, and hardware handling procedures
Participation in university, internship, research, or professional engineering projects involving aerospace, robotics, or defense technologies

What You'll Get

Ownership – Contribute directly to the design, integration, and validation of mission-critical spacecraft electrical systems
Innovation – Help develop advanced aerospace technologies enabling next-generation space mobility and operations
Impact – Support the delivery of reliable, flight-ready hardware for national security, civil, and commercial space missions
Growth – Join a collaborative engineering team where you'll gain hands-on experience across spacecraft development, integration, testing, and mission execution
Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing

Location: Rockville, MD; or Hawthorne, CA; or Denver, CO

Base Salary: $80,000 to $125,000

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers and are considered part of Quantum Space's total compensation package.

Additional Requirements
