Electrical Engineer Asc

About the Role

The Payload Launch Site Support Services (PLSSS) Program, within LM Space, provides launch processing support functions for our government customer. Key elements of the program scope include spacecraft launch preparations, spacecraft transportation operations, and processing facilities O&M. The primary operating location is Vandenberg SFB, CA, with support of other locations also required. As a member of the team, you will be called upon to perform a variety of Electrical Engineering design and operational tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, operate, and maintain Electrical propellant loading equipment, instrumentation, and data collection that support spacecraft fueling operations.
• Conduct system performance evaluations and make appropriate recommendations to modify designs or repair equipment as needed.
• Apply knowledge in troubleshooting and proposing solutions for electronics-related issues.
• Collaborate with other disciplines and departments to ensure understanding of project specifications and business needs, and deliver system-level results.
• Direct the development, installation, and operation of new hardware and software systems.
• Ensure projects are completed on-time and within the specified budget.
• You will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for an elevated clearance and access to classified information.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Ability to work in a launch site environment, with the ability to climb stairs and evacuate the launch complex wearing breathing apparatus, if required.
• Willing and able to support periodic travel, overtime, and alternate shifts, if required.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• Must have the ability to possess and maintain TS/SCI Clearance w/ Poly.
• A current, valid driver’s license is required to support site travel and field operations at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Desired Skills

• Current experience or understanding of high value, complex Portable Propellent Loading Systems and satellite processing operations within an industrial or commercial environment.
• Familiarity in CAD/CAE tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, PTC Creo, and MATLAB for circuit and system modeling.
• Familiarity using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and data-acquisition systems.
• Familiarity integrating electrical subsystems with mechanical, thermal, and software components in complex payload or launch-vehicle environments.
• Basic diagnostic skills for field repairs, fault isolation, and preventive maintenance of power/propellant hardware.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation (design reports, test procedures, as-built drawings) that meet industry standards.
• Experience working in multi-disciplinary teams and the ability to coordinate engineering tasks with technicians and mission operations personnel.
• Proficient with written and verbal communication skills; able to present technical information to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Familiarity with IBM Maximo (or comparable CMMS) for equipment tracking, work-order creation, and maintenance history management.
• Active Security+ Certification.
• Possess practical Electrical Engineering operations and/or maintenance experience within an industrial or commercial environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or in a related discipline from an accredited college.
