- 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)
- Experience in the development, testing, or documentation of electrical/electronic systems for aircraft, spacecraft, or similar complex systems (internships, laboratory, academic, and personal/team project experience is applicable)
- Strong technical writing and documentation skills with attention to detail
- Must be able to work full time, on-site at Denver or Long Beach, CO for 20 consecutive weeks beginning in Sep 2026
- Must be able to provide own transportation and housing
- Have completed their Junior and/or Senior year
- GPA of 3.5 or above
- Coursework or project experience in embedded systems, microcontrollers, or digital design
- Experience with PCB design tools (Altium, OrCAD, KiCAD) or circuit simulation tools (LTspice, PSpice, MATLAB/Simulink)
- Familiarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS-422, or SpaceWire
- Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C/C++
- Exposure to aerospace or defense electrical standards (MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-461, DO-160, etc.)
- Knowledge of power electronics, DC-DC converters, or power distribution architectures
- Understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC design principles
- Passionate about advancing space security and sustainability
- Resilient problem-solving attitude
What the job involves
- 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. CO-OP 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
Our take
True Anomaly is a space tech startup composed of former military operators and engineers. The Colorado-based company is focused on building spacecraft and software solutions designed to secure U.S. commercial and military interests in space. It has already developed a fully-integrated platform with seamless satellite, navigation, and data-capture technologies that provide security and training for the quickly evolving space market.
Founded in 2022, True Anomaly has already designed its first spacecraft, the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle, which can be used to train operators on the ground or as intelligence-gathering tools against adversarial spacecraft. Alongside this, the startup has built a 35,000-square-foot facility in Denver to manufacture the Jackals.
With impressive capital gained in 2023 and 2025, the company validated the Jackal's technical and operational capabilities and made the necessary investments to scale production. And with its most recent capital injection, the company is ready to fund space missions and further scale its operations.
