About The Position

Turion Space is developing vertically integrated hardware and software for the space economy, including DROID space vehicles and the Starfire software suite. As an Electrical Engineer on the Electrical Engineering team, you will contribute to the design, integration, and testing of electrical hardware for spacecraft buses and payload systems. You will work hands-on across development stages from concept to launch, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to deliver flight-ready electrical systems. The role calls for technical curiosity, adaptability, and a drive to solve complex problems in support of space missions. This is a full-time, exempt position based on-site at Turion Space’s Irvine, California headquarters. The salary range is $100,000–$150,000 USD. Employees may be asked to support alternate or extended shifts and travel during peak work periods. The position may involve access to technology or software source code subject to U.S. export controls; applicants must meet the stated U.S. citizenship, immigration, or authorization requirements.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
At least 2 years of hardware development experience in PCB board design and layout, and electronic system prototyping and validation.
Proficiency with schematic-capture design tools.
Comfort working in a laboratory with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), power supplies, and logic analyzers.
Strong technical ability and creativity.
Verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present technical information clearly and interact effectively with team members and stakeholders.
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret and/or TS/SCI clearance.
Meet U.S. export-control eligibility requirements: be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required U.S. Department of State authorizations.

Nice To Haves

Passion for space and curiosity about electronics in high-reliability applications.
Experience developing fundamentally new hardware rather than incrementally updating legacy hardware.
Experience with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice.
Surface-mount and through-hole soldering skills.
Experience with switching power-supply design.
Experience with system verification and validation.
Experience implementing and programming embedded systems and microcontrollers.
Experience with communication buses such as I2C, SPI, UART, RS-422/485, CAN, USB, 1000BASE-T, and PCIe.
Understanding of analog, high-speed, and differential signal routing.
Experience with high-performance digital processors, FPGAs, memory chips, or network switches.
Experience with circuit-board design for manufacturability and electronics productization.

Responsibilities

Design and develop high-reliability electrical systems and PCBs for satellite devices.
Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and testing.
Troubleshoot PCBs and perform root-cause analysis down to the component level.
Work on satellite harness definitions and fabrication processes.
Prepare fabrication and assembly drawings, bills of materials, and other documentation needed for design transfer to fabrication and assembly.
Maintain and update requirements and design documentation throughout the system life cycle.
Communicate effectively with cross-functional groups to support project success.
