About The Position

As an Electronics Integration and Development Engineer at Inversion, you will work as part of the simulation team to design and develop the hardware-in-the-loop testbeds for our flight systems. You will own the integration of flight, simulation, and test hardware, and will be responsible for everything from making wiring harnesses to designing PCBs and writing code. The simulation team is responsible for ensuring that flight software and flight hardware can be continuously integrated and tested under realistic flight conditions. You will play a key role in the design, development, and integration of specialized hardware and software that will enable fast, repeatable development and deployment workflows across the engineering stack. The ideal candidate is a tinkerer who enjoys hands-on experimentation with embedded systems (such as microcontrollers and single-board computers) to quickly turn ideas into prototypes but also has the ability to turn those prototypes into production-ready hardware. Your work will empower Inversion’s engineering teams to iterate rapidly throughout the development life cycle and will strengthen Inversion’s ability to put our products into the hands of our customers with unprecedented speed and agility.

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience in electronics integration, development, and testing
Experience with custom wiring harness design and assembly, including connector selection, pin mapping, wire sizing, and shielding strategies for EMI/EMC
Experience using common laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, data acquisition systems, etc.)
Basic coding proficiency in one or more programming languages
Experience using PCBA design tools (Altium Designer, EAGLE, KiCad, etc.)
Experience implementing mixed-signal PCBs with digital communications (UART, I2C, SPI, RS422, RS485, CAN, PCIe, Ethernet, Spacewire, etc.)

Nice To Haves

Expertise in PCB design and best practices for production-ready hardware
Expertise in one or more scripting languages (Python, Lua, Bash, PowerShell, etc.) and/or embedded C/C++
Experience designing high-reliability and/or safety-critical systems (e.g., for spacecraft or automotive applications)

Responsibilities

Integrate and develop electronics hardware needed to enable on-demand, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflows
Create schematics and layouts for custom hardware (wiring harnesses and PCBs), with a focus on interface boards, breakout systems, and inter-system connectivity
Perform hands-on assembly of prototype wiring harnesses and PCBs
Own the transition from prototype to production, including overseeing external fabrication and assembly
Analyze circuit performance to ensure design meets requirements and perform acceptance testing to ensure hardware meets specifications
Write software as needed (e.g.: embedded software for micros, test scripts, etc.)
Contribute to the design and development of a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources to support simulation workflows
