Senior Electrical Engineering Opt information

What is a senior electrical engineering opt?

Senior Electrical Engineering Opts are experienced professionals who specialize in electrical engineering, often focusing on design, development, and optimization of electrical systems or components. The 'Opt' may refer to 'Optical,' indicating a focus on electro-optical systems, or it could relate to optimization tasks within electrical engineering. These engineers typically lead projects, mentor junior staff, and ensure technical excellence in their field. Their work may span industries such as telecommunications, power generation, electronics, or optics, depending on the specific role requirements.

What is the difference between Senior Electrical Engineering Opt vs Electrical Engineering Technician?

AspectSenior Electrical Engineering OptElectrical Engineering Technician
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Professional Engineer (PE) license often preferredAssociate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Technology or Engineering Technology
Work EnvironmentDesign, analysis, project management, often in office or lab settingsHands-on testing, installation, maintenance, often in field or lab environments
Employer & Industry UsageEngineering firms, manufacturing, power generation, consultingManufacturing plants, construction sites, maintenance companies

The Senior Electrical Engineering Opt typically holds advanced degrees and a PE license, focusing on design and analysis. In contrast, the Electrical Engineering Technician performs practical, hands-on tasks like testing and installation. Both roles are essential in electrical projects but differ mainly in responsibilities, credentials, and work settings.

What are some common challenges senior electrical engineers face when leading multidisciplinary projects?

Senior Electrical Engineers often collaborate with teams across mechanical, software, and systems engineering. One common challenge is ensuring clear communication and integration between disciplines, as electrical requirements must align with overall system design. Balancing project timelines while managing complex technical specifications and troubleshooting unforeseen issues is also frequent. Strong project management skills and proactive stakeholder engagement are key to overcoming these challenges and ensuring successful project outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior electrical engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Electrical Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering principles, project management, and typically a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering. Proficiency with industry-standard design tools such as AutoCAD, MATLAB, and simulation software, as well as knowledge of relevant codes and certifications like PE (Professional Engineer), is crucial. Strong problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills distinguish top performers in this role. These skills ensure the successful design, implementation, and oversight of complex electrical systems while leading teams and meeting project requirements.

Job description

Wanna join the adventure?
Loft Orbital is redefining how satellites get built and deployed, and our electrical engineering team is at the heart of that mission. We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who lives and breathes hardware design, someone who wants to sit down and knock out a board, dig into bus protocols, and help shape the next generation of space vehicle subsystems. If you want your fingerprints on real flight hardware - not just theory - this is your seat at the table.
About this role:
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be a core hardware design resource on a team that's ramping up multiple new board design efforts. You'll:
  • Own detailed board design work, including new digital and analog designs supporting upcoming missions (including active work on new power supply designs, such as for the TASA mission).
  • Be a technical face for electrical requirements, working cross-functionally with mechanical, systems, and program teams to deliver hardware that meets mission needs.
  • Work across different bus protocols and get familiar with the electrical architecture of multiple space vehicle subsystems.
  • Flex into electrical systems support when needed - helping with harness schematics, ICDs, or system-level electrical questions alongside your board design work.
  • Collaborate closely with our existing hardware and electrical systems engineers to help cover a growing pipeline of new board designs kicked off across the team.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do hardware design full-time, but is also comfortable wearing an electrical systems hat when the mission calls for it.
Must Haves:
  • Strong, demonstrated experience in board design - you're comfortable owning a design from concept through delivery.
  • Familiarity with different bus protocols used in space or embedded hardware systems.
  • Working knowledge of space vehicle subsystems and how electrical hardware integrates into them.
  • Comfortable acting as a technical point of contact for electrical requirements across teams.
  • Ability and willingness to flex into electrical systems tasks (harness schematics, ICD review) as needed.
  • Senior-level experience in electrical engineering, ideally with some FPGA exposure.

Nice to Haves:
  • Software/scripting capability - comfortable running scripts, debugging code, or managing an outside supplier delivering hardware with embedded software.
  • Familiarity with CD&H (command and data handling) systems.
  • Experience managing external suppliers or vendors delivering hardware/software components.

Some of Our Awesome Benefits:
  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance option for employees and dependents
  • Flexible Spending (FSA) and Health Savings (HSA) Accounts offered with an employer contribution to the HSA
  • 100% employer paid Life, AD&D, Short-Term, and Long-Term Disability insurance
  • Flexible Time Off policy for vacation and sick leave, and 12 paid holidays
  • 401(k) plan and equity options
  • Daily catered lunches and snacks in office
  • International exposure to our team in France
  • Fully paid parental leave; 14 weeks for birthing parent and 10 weeks for non-birthing parent
  • Carrot Fertility provides comprehensive, inclusive fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits with financial support
  • Off-sites and many social events and celebrations
  • Relocation assistance when applicable

$150,000 - $200,000 a year
State law requires us to tell you the base compensation range for this role, which is $150,000 - $200,000 per year. This is determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. The salary range for this role is intentionally wide as we evaluate individuals based on their unique experience and abilities to fit our needs. Most importantly, we are excited to meet you, and see if you are a great fit for our team. What we can't quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't check all the boxes.
Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft's flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
