Engineering Manager (Electrical Engineer)

Join True Anomaly, a pioneering company in space security. As the Electrical Engineering Manager (Digital Systems Design), you will lead our electrical engineering design team in the development of spacecraft avionics computing hardware. You will oversee the full design lifecycle, set technical direction, and drive compliance with aerospace standards. This role offers a comprehensive benefits package, including 100% employer-sponsored healthcare, generous time off, equity options, and 401k plans.

• Lead and manage the electrical engineering design team in the development of spacecraft avionics computing hardware, overseeing the full design lifecycle for custom avionics hardware.
• Set and enforce design standards, design review processes, and configuration management practices across all digital hardware programs, ensuring compliance with applicable aerospace and defense standards.
• Drive a forward-looking product vision for scalable avionics computing solutions, championing proactive process improvement across the design-to-delivery workflow.
• The successful candidate will bring a strong technical vision for scalable, high-reliability embedded compute architectures, a relentless focus on driving down size, weight, power, and cost (SWaPC), and the proactive mindset to continuously improve design processes and toolchains as the team and product line scale
• 10+ years of professional experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex digital and mixed-signal PCB designs for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability applications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to deliver complex hardware on schedule in a resource-constrained environment
• Expertise in signal integrity, power integrity, and design for EMI/EMC
• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, SpaceWire, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and USB
• Deep proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium Designer or equivalent)
• Strong familiarity with common processor, FPGA, SoC, and SoM architectures and their application in embedded compute platforms
• Demonstrated experience leading an electrical engineering team focused on digital systems design
• Understanding and familiarity with applicable aerospace standards (EEE-INST-002, SMC-S-016, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461)
• Experience with design qualification testing, including thermal, vibration, and EMI/EMC test campaigns
• Experience with radiation effects on digital electronics and mitigation strategies for space applications
• Experience designing and implementing hardware security architectures, including hardware root of trust (HRoT), secure boot, and cryptographic key management
• Hands-on experience with hardware security modules (HSMs), trusted platform modules (TPMs), or equivalent cryptographic security implementations in embedded systems
• Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting
• Experience with hardware bring-up and debug using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, current probes, and automated test equipment
• Work Location—this role will be onsite at our Denver, CO location, with travel to other sites as needed
• Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving
• 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
