Avionics and Electrical Engineering Fall Co-op

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority.

S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset.

We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION As a member of our Avionics & Electrical Engineering CO-OP Program, you will gain hands-on experience contributing to the design, testing, and documentation of mission-critical spacecraft avionics and electrical systems.

This role focuses on hardware documentation, board bring-up testing, and electrical system verification.

Responsibilities

may include: Electrical Engineering Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive electrical engineering documentation including schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), component specifications, test procedures, and design rationale reports for avionics subsystems. Board Bring-Up Testing and Verification: Support hardware bring-up activities for avionics flight boards and ground support electronics, including power sequencing verification, signal integrity testing, functional validation, and debugging of prototype PCBAs using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters. Avionics System Integration and Test Support: Assist in the integration and testing of avionics subsystems including flight computers, power distribution units, communication systems, and sensor interfaces.

Support functional testing, interface verification, and anomaly resolution during spacecraft integration. Electrical Harnessing and Interface Design: Collaborate with electrical and mechanical teams to define wiring harness designs, connector pinouts, and electrical interface specifications for power and data distribution across spacecraft subsystems. Support harness routing analysis and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations.

Environmental Test Planning and Execution: Develop test procedures and support execution of environmental qualification tests for avionics hardware including thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing. Collect test data, document results, and support post-test analysis and failure investigation. PCB Design Review and Analysis: Participate in PCB design reviews for avionics boards, reviewing layout for signal integrity, power integrity, thermal management, and design for manufacturing (DFM).

Support component selection, worst-case circuit analysis, and derating analysis to ensure mission reliability.

: Collaborate closely with mentors and team members to apply your knowledge and develop technical skills in a fast-paced environment. Engage in cross-functional teamwork, interacting with engineers from electrical, mechanical, software, and systems disciplines to solve complex challenges. Maintain accurate and professional engineering documentation following industry standards and internal processes.

Showcase your work through presentations or project reviews.

QUALIFICATIONS

: Currently enrolled in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline at a four-year accredited university. Strong electrical engineering fundamentals including circuit analysis, digital logic, and analog electronics. Hands-on experience with electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, function generators, logic analyzers, or power supplies (laboratory, academic, internship, or personal project experience applicable).
