Soc Analyst Startup Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

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. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.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 Staff Electrical Engineer, you will be a senior technical leader responsible for driving avionics architecture decisions and owning the design, development, and delivery of flight-critical electronic assemblies for True Anomaly's spacecraft. You will shape how our avionics systems are defined, integrated, and proven - bridging board-level design with system-level thinking to deliver hardware that meets the demands of space. RESPONSIBILITIES * Lead avionics architecture definition and trade studies, driving decisions on processing, data transport, power distribution, and redundancy that shape the spacecraft electrical system * Own the end-to-end design of complex electronic assemblies - from requirements capture, schematic design, and component selection through prototyping, bring-up, debugging, and release to production * Collaborate with system architecture development across cross-functional teams including software, GNC, propulsion, and systems engineering * Lead preliminary and critical design reviews for avionics subsystems, ensuring designs meet program requirements and spacecraft-level performance goals * Conduct and review derating analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for flight hardware * Define and drive interface control between avionics boards and other spacecraft subsystems, including power, RF, payloads, and harness * Perform system-level integration of avionics hardware and software, including embedded firmware interfaces and communication buses * Perform first article testing, unit-level testing, and production testing of avionics assemblies * Support hardware through production, integration, launch, and on-orbit commissioning * Define validation approaches and create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware * Drive compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and quality assurance processes across the avionics subsystem * Develop and maintain documentation for avionics systems and components, including design specifications, interface control documents, test plans, and operating procedures * Mentor junior engineers to improve design skill sets and increase capabilities within the organization * Continuously improve electrical engineering processes and practices to drive innovation and efficiency QUALIFICATIONS * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field * Minimum 10 years of experience in electrical engineering * Demonstrated spacecraft flight heritage - experience designing, building, and delivering electronic hardware that has operated on orbit * Experience with embedded firmware development and hardware/firmware co-design * Advanced experience in PCB and PCBA design using Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools * Experience with system-level avionics architecture, including processing, power distribution, data interfaces, and redundancy schemes * Strong understanding of common spacecraft communication interfaces (RS-422/RS-485, SPI, I2C, SpaceWire, Ethernet) * Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex technical efforts and drive them to completion * Excellent communication and interpersonal skills PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE * Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field * Experience with FPGA SoC development and VHDL/Verilog * Familiarity with spacecraft power systems, propulsion interfaces, and communication subsystems * Experience with radiation-tolerant design practices and mitigation of radiation effects on COTS components * Knowledge of industry standards and regulations related to spacecraft electrical systems, including EEE-INST-002, GSFC-STD-7000 (GEVS), and MIL-STD-461 * Experience with simulation tools such as SPICE, MATLAB, and Simulink * Experience with worst-case circuit analysis and derating analysis for space-grade hardware * Familiarity with configuration management and requirements traceability tools * Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting COMPENSATION * Base Salary: $175,000-$265,000 * Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS * Ability to maintain or obtain TS// SCI clearance * Work Location-this role will be onsite at either our Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA locations, with travel to other sites as needed. * Work environment-the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job. * Physical demands-the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving. This position will be open until it is successfully filled.
