• Space-grade footprint development: Create and verify IPC-compliant PCB footprints designed for high-reliability space applications and aligned with applicable IPC J-STD-001 and IPC-6012 space requirements.
• EEE component classification: Manage parameter sets and database classifications for EEE-INST-002 Level 3 component selections, ensuring accurate screening information and tracking labels.
• Automotive and COTS component management: Track and classify commercial and automotive-grade components, maintaining relevant parametric metadata and supporting up-screening activities for components meeting standards such as AEC-Q101 and AEC-Q200.
• PEM governance: Define and maintain structural parameters, qualification information, and risk profiles for Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits used in spaceflight designs.
• Derating compliance: Embed and automate component-level derating criteria within Altium parameter schemas to support engineering requirements governing electrical stress.
• Lifecycle and obsolescence management: Monitor component lifecycles throughout extended production cycles, identify potential obsolescence risks, and proactively support qualification of approved alternatives.
• Part request workflow: Manage the Altium Part Request process, ensuring engineering requests are thoroughly reviewed for quality, parametric accuracy, documentation, and relevant spaceflight heritage before release.
• Manufacturing integration: Support contract manufacturers with component data requirements and help resolve component-level solderability, manufacturing, and production defects.
• Cross-functional support: Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and other technical stakeholders to maintain reliable component data and support continuous improvement of development processes.
• Additional support: Provide travel or off-site support when required and perform other responsibilities aligned with the needs of the engineering organization.

• Professional experience: At least 8 years of relevant experience, or 4+ years combined with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Library management: Demonstrated experience managing electronic component libraries, library governance, CAD data systems, and configuration-controlled engineering information.
• Altium expertise: Deep proficiency with Altium Designer and hands-on experience administering Altium Enterprise Server.
• Industry standards: Working knowledge of IPC J-STD-001 Space, IPC-6012 Space, EEE-INST-002, AEC-Q100, AEC-Q101, AEC-Q200, and PEM screening and qualification methodologies.
• Hardware expertise: Experience supporting high-density, high-reliability hardware such as VPX boards or comparable advanced electronic assemblies.
• Manufacturing knowledge: Proven experience working with contract manufacturers and addressing component-level solderability, manufacturing, or production defects.
• Configuration control: Strong understanding of traceability, revision management, component qualification, lifecycle governance, and engineering change processes.
• Quality mindset: Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to maintain highly accurate component data in environments where reliability and configuration control are critical.
• Technical judgment: Ability to interpret engineering and manufacturing requirements and translate them into effective library rules, workflows, and component controls.
• Collaboration: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Flexibility: Willingness and ability to travel or work off-site when required.

• Salary: Full-time salary range of $63,000–$149,000 annually, with actual compensation based on experience, skills, education, certifications, internal equity, business considerations, and geographic location.
• Work arrangement: Fully remote position within the United States.
• Health coverage: Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Insurance: Basic life and AD&D, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage.
• Additional insurance options: Voluntary life with AD&D, accident, critical illness, hospital, and pet insurance.
• Spending accounts: HSA, FSA, and dependent care FSA options.
• Paid time off: PTO and paid holidays.
• Retirement: 401(k) plan with company matching.
• Education support: Tuition reimbursement opportunities.
• Leave programs: Parental, maternity, and military leave.
• Bonus: Annual discretionary bonus may be available for eligible roles.
• Professional impact: Opportunity to work on sophisticated, high-reliability space electronics supporting defense, intelligence, and civil space missions.
