Engineering Manager eGSE

YOUR MISSION

As an Engineering Manager eGSE you will lead the design development and delivery of electrical ground support equipment across a program portfolio setting the technical standard for how we build scale and sustain our test infrastructure. You will own rack and enclosure systems from concept through first article drive standardization across the EGSE portfolio and serve as a technical anchor for a growing team of engineers and technicians. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Own end-to-end design and delivery of EGSE racks and test enclosures — mechanical layout electrical schematics harness design and full drawing packages from requirements through first article build and check-out 

• Lead harness design and fabrication to MIL-spec standards including connector selection shielding strategy crimp inspection and backshell installation and define build quality standards for the broader team 

• Establish and enforce rack standardization across programs — component selection parts inventory strategy and procurement approach to maximize build speed and minimize single-point-of-failure dependencies 

• Drive signal integrity and power architecture decisions at the rack and enclosure level including power and data routing grounding shielding and EMI mitigation 

• Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system architecture and expansion across both emulator-based and flight hardware configurations 

• Provide hands-on technical support during test campaigns and bring-up activities including on-site support at production and test facilities 

• Mentor mid-level engineers and technicians serving as a technical backstop and escalation point for the team 

• Develop and maintain thorough documentation for all GSE designs processes and changes to ensure traceability and reduce team dependency on any single individual 

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS 

• B.S. in Mechanical Electrical Aerospace Engineering or comparable discipline 

• Hands-on experience in EGSE test systems or hardware engineering in aerospace defense or adjacent high-reliability industries and skill equivalent to engineering level 

• Demonstrated experience designing and building harnesses including crimping connector inspection backshell installation and shielding termination 

• Strong proficiency in both mechanical and electrical hardware design — comfortable owning the 3D layout and the schematic for the same system 

• Rack-level power and data architecture experience — UPS lab-grade power supplies Linux-based control systems and mixed signal/power environments 

• Systematic troubleshooting methodology across power and data systems 

• Familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet RS-232 RS-422 RS-485 CAN I2C SPI EtherCAT) and how to support their signal integrity grounding and shielding 

• Proficiency with electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes DMMs electronic loads function generators and bench power supplies 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 

• Aerospace or startup experience — ideally both 

• Experience designing or supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems 

• Mechanical or Electrical CAD experience (e.g. SolidWorks Altium) including rack layout and schematic capture 

• PCB design exposure and understanding of layout principles as they relate to signal integrity 

• Test software familiarity (e.g. Python C++) sufficient to collaborate effectively with software engineers 

• PCB and harness rework experience 

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: 
  • Manager: $150000-$205000
  • Senior Manager: $165000-$230000
    

• Equity + Benefits including Health Dental Vision HRA/HSA options PTO and paid holidays 401K Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills education location and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Work Location—this a fully onsite position based out of our Long Beach CA office.
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature noise level inside or outside or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job including bending sitting lifting and driving.

This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application please follow the directions below. #LI-Onsite
