Senior Electrical Design Engineer

About the role

Besxar Space Industries is developing off‑Earth foundries and needs a senior electrical engineer to lead the design of flight‑worthy hardware for its Fabships. You will own the electrical architecture, drive ECAD development, and translate ambiguous mission requirements into reliable space‑qualified products.

Key responsibilities

• Lead electrical design and R&D for Fabships, covering power electronics, avionics, RF, instrumentation, DAQ and ground support hardware.
• Own major ECAD assemblies, maintain configuration discipline, and produce high‑quality release packages (schematics, layouts, fabrication notes, BOMs).
• Translate system requirements into manufacturable, testable, high‑reliability designs, balancing performance, mass, power, thermal, radiation, EMI/EMC, cost and schedule.
• Drive the full hardware lifecycle from concept through component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototype build, bring‑up, verification, qualification, integration and flight feedback.
• Lead hands‑on assembly, lab bring‑up, test plan creation, failure analysis and post‑launch inspection criteria.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of progressive electrical design experience on complex hardware from concept to test.
• Proven ownership of large ECAD assemblies for spacecraft, aerospace, defense or high‑consequence semiconductor equipment.
• Hands‑on build and assembly experience with lab debugging and supplier interaction.

Required skills

• Proficiency with modern ECAD tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Xpedition or similar).
• Strong fundamentals in analog/mixed‑signal design, power electronics, grounding/shielding, radiation‑tolerant component selection.
• Experience with high‑reliability, space‑rated or rad‑hard components and related analysis (derating, worst‑case, FMEA, SEE/TID).
• Lab instrumentation expertise (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, waveform generators, DAQ systems).
• Software scripting for test automation and data analysis (Python, MATLAB or similar).
