TensorOps is hiring an Avionics Integration Engineer to lead the critical hardware and software integration for our spacecraft avionics subsystems. You will join a team focused on disciplined execution and systemic problem-solving to advance our autonomous spacecraft portfolio.
What You'll Do
- Lead hardware/software integration for spacecraft avionics subsystems including flight computers, sensor packages, and communication modules.
- Develop and maintain interface control documents (ICDs) and ensure seamless integration between avionics, GNC, and power systems.
- Design and execute verification and validation plans for embedded and networked avionics components.
- Collaborate with software, mechanical, and electrical teams to troubleshoot and optimize system-level performance.
- Conduct bench and environmental testing of integrated avionics hardware prior to flight qualification.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in avionics systems development, hardware/software integration, and test.
- Proficiency with embedded systems, serial buses (CAN, SPI, I2C), and data acquisition systems.
- Experience with C/C++, Python, and Linux-based development environments.
- Strong understanding of system bring-up, configuration management, and verification processes.
- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and avionics test equipment.
- Work is on-site; remote or hybrid arrangements will not be considered.
- U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain or have an active TS/SCI clearance.
Nice to Have
- Experience with radiation-tolerant hardware and fault-tolerant architectures.
- Familiarity with flight software frameworks such as cFS or custom RTOS implementations.
- Knowledge of space or defense program requirements (MIL-STD-1553, DO-160, ECSS).
Technical Stack
- C/C++, Python
- Linux
- CAN, SPI, I2C
- cFS, RTOS
Team & Environment
