Sr. Electronics Integration and Development Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Advanced Reentry Technologies</strong></p> <p><strong>Who We Are:<br></strong></p> <p>Inversion is an aerospace and defense company pioneering advanced reentry technology to enable next-generation capabilities from space. By combining high-performance materials, precision aerodynamics, and mission-driven autonomy, Inversion is transforming reentry into an operational capability for an entirely new class of missions.</p> <p>The company’s highly maneuverable reentry spacecraft, Arc, is designed for rapid global cargo delivery, hypersonic testing, and other national security missions that require precise, controlled flight through the atmosphere. Arc creates an entirely new transportation domain, unlocking unprecedented speed and global reach.</p> <p>Headquartered in Los Angeles, Inversion designs, manufactures, and integrates its spacecraft under one roof, enabling the company to move rapidly from concept to flight. The company is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Spark Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures, with customers across the U.S. government and commercial space industry.</p></div><p data-renderer-start-pos="733" data-local-id="0ec8db8ff3e0"><strong>Position Overview:</strong></p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="733" data-local-id="0ec8db8ff3e0">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.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="733" data-local-id="0ec8db8ff3e0"><strong>Key Reponsibilities:</strong></p> <ul> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2000" data-local-id="43170bee0ad7">Integrate and develop electronics hardware needed to enable on-demand, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflows</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2122" data-local-id="d7cf9329f030">Create schematics and layouts for custom hardware (wiring harnesses and PCBs), with a focus on interface boards, breakout systems, and inter-system connectivity</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2286" data-local-id="151d60fd9b01">Perform hands-on assembly of prototype wiring harnesses and PCBs</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2354" data-local-id="3e679bc58ee6">Own the transition from prototype to production, including overseeing external fabrication and assembly</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2461" data-local-id="381b91263f2b">Analyze circuit performance to ensure design meets requirements and perform acceptance testing to ensure hardware meets specifications</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2599" data-local-id="60aaba8a504a">Write software as needed (e.g.: embedded software for micros, test scripts, etc.)</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2684" data-local-id="2279da91ea0c">Contribute to the design and development of a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources to support simulation workflows</li> </ul> <p><strong>Required Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2872" data-local-id="4b287aa4671e">5+ years of professional experience in electronics integration, development, and testing</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="2964" data-local-id="8f43012406f6">Experience with custom wiring harness design and assembly, including connector selection, pin mapping, wire sizing, and shielding strategies for EMI/EMC</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3120" data-local-id="5f6f08f8a334">Experience using common laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, data acquisition systems, etc.)</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3265" data-local-id="0280f6f5a04c">Basic coding proficiency in one or more programming languages</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3330" data-local-id="0d4c4cde78d5">Experience using PCBA design tools (Altium Designer, EAGLE, KiCad, etc.)</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3406" data-local-id="3f409bd58446">Experience implementing mixed-signal PCBs with digital communications (UART, I2C, SPI, RS422, RS485, CAN, PCIe, Ethernet, Spacewire, etc.)</li> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3406" data-local-id="3f409bd58446"><span data-teams="true"><strong>Must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government Secret/Top Secret security clearance. </strong></span></li> </ul> <p><span data-teams="true"><strong>Desired Qualifications: </strong></span></p> <ul> <li data-renderer-start-pos="3574" data-local-id="4b5fff7c58c7">Expertise in PCB design and best
