Avionics Ground Support Equipment Engineer II
About The Position
We are seeking a Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Engineer with strong experience in designing, building, and deploying Ground Support Equipment (GSE) racks and related systems that interface directly with flight hardware. In this role, you'll lead the development of robust electrical and mechanical systems that support vehicle test, integration, and launch in challenging environments. You'll work cross-functionally with avionics, propulsion, structures, test, and software teams to ensure our EGSE is reliable, flexible, and safe. This position is ideal for someone who thrives on high ownership, fast iteration, and seeing their systems go from concept to launchpad.
Requirements
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- 2+ years of hands-on experience designing and deploying EGSE or electrical integration systems in aerospace or high-reliability environments
- Strong knowledge of signal integrity, grounding schemes, shielding, and power systems
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and commissioning electromechanical ground systems
- Familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, RS-422, CAN, MIL-STD-1553) and ground systems standards (ASME, API, and NASA/AF).
Nice To Haves
- Proficient in mechanical CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) for rack layout and enclosure integration
- Familiarity with test automation and scripting (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB).
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, integrate, and build of critical ground systems that support engine test, vehicle integration, and test and launch operations
- Collaborate cross-functionally with propulsion, avionics, software, test, and operations teams to deliver robust, scalable systems on tight timelines
- Oversee fabrication, bring-up, and validation of EGSE systems, including electrical testing, calibration, and functional checks
- Author interface control documents (ICDs) and engineering release drawings to ensure tight alignment between EGSE and flight/avionics hardware
- Work closely with safety, operations, and launch teams to ensure systems are compliant and operable under high-stakes conditions
- Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices in GSE development and documentation
