Job description
Karman+ is building vehicles for beyond Earth orbit. Your role is to drive the development of core compute architectures for a deep space vehicle. Leveraging your expertise you will determine architectures and hardware solutions that meet our mission’s needs, for reliability, and performance.
Key Responsibilities
Drive the design, development, integration, testing, and deployment of the spacecraft’s flight computer system, focusing on functions such as data handling, guidance, and control.
Develop and refine requirements for the flight computer and navigation computer.
Contribute to all phases of the flight computer lifecycle, from concept to flight-readiness and post-deployment support, ensuring reliability and mission success.
Collaborate with senior engineers to make technical decisions on system architecture, hardware/software interfaces, and design trade-offs that meet mission requirements.
Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software issues during integration and testing, maintaining hands‑on involvement to ensure quality and functionality.
Assist in the procurement process by supporting evaluations of off‑the‑shelf components and custom hardware, working with vendors to ensure compliance with mission requirements.
Help identify and mitigate risks related to the flight computer system, contributing to regular risk assessments and implementing mitigation strategies as directed.
What You Bring
Experience in avionics or electronics engineering for space hardware, with hands‑on experience designing, integrating, and testing flight computer systems.
Strong problem‑solving skills—you’re as comfortable working with CAD and models as you are in a test lab debugging system‑level issues.
Experience designing resilient microcontrollers and system on module compute platforms for space vehicles.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex avionics topics to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
A desire to keep design cycles tight, by following a build and break philosophy.
Motivation to challenge the status quo, and be an integral part of an elite team.
