Electrical GSE Engineer (All Levels)

Impulse Space•Redondo Beach, CA

13d•$100,000 - $170,000•Onsite

About The Position

Impulse Space is seeking Electrical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Engineers across multiple experience levels to help design, build, and deploy the critical systems that interface directly with flight hardware throughout vehicle integration, test, and launch operations. In this role, you will develop robust electrical ground systems that enable rapid testing, seamless vehicle integration, and reliable launch execution in demanding environments. You’ll partner closely with avionics, propulsion, software, structures, test, and operations teams to deliver high-performance EGSE solutions that are safe, scalable, and mission ready. This position is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy hands-on hardware development, and want to see their systems operate from initial concept through launch.

Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline
Experience designing, building, and deploying EGSE, avionics integration hardware, or other high-reliability electrical systems
Strong understanding of electrical system design fundamentals, including signal integrity, grounding, shielding, and power distribution
Hands-on experience with souring instrumentation, hardware integration, electrical testing, and system troubleshooting
Familiarity with common aerospace and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet, RS-422, CAN etc.) and networking (TCP/IP, CAT5, serial protocols)
Ability to work effectively in fast-paced development and test environments

Nice To Haves

Experience designing rack-level systems, harnessing, or enclosure integrations for Avionics or RF products
Proficiency with CAD tools such as NX for mechanical integration and layout design
Familiarity with test automation, scripting, or controls software (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
Knowledge of aerospace ground systems standards and practices (NASA, ASME, API, Air Force, etc.)
Prior experience supporting launch campaigns, propulsion testing, or integrated vehicle operations

Responsibilities

Own EGSE hardware through the full lifecycle, including architecture, schematic development, fabrication, integration, validation, and deployment
Design, develop, integrate, and support electrical ground systems used for engine testing, vehicle integration, and launch operations
Collaborate cross-functionally with avionics, propulsion, software, test, and operations teams to deliver reliable systems on aggressive schedules
Support bring-up, troubleshooting, calibration, and functional verification of EGSE hardware and interfaces
Develop interface control documents (ICDs), schematics, wiring documentation, and engineering release drawings to ensure alignment between ground and flight systems
Ensure systems meet operational, reliability, and safety requirements for test and launch environments
Drive continuous improvement of GSE design standards, integration processes, and documentation practices
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical excellence across the team (senior-level candidates)
