Electrical Engineer

Location: Moriarty, NM 
Job Type: Full-Time, Exempt

Who Are We:

Sceye is a high-growth technology company, building the next generation of instant communications, imaging and remote sensing infrastructure through stratospheric platforms.

Our lighter-than-air high-altitude platform systems (LTA HAPS) are capable of maintaining position over an operational area in the stratosphere (altitudes of 18 – 21km). They can carry multiple telecommunications, imaging and remote sensing payloads, providing unique functionality, cost, environmental and societal advantages.

Our HAPS can be deployed in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure solutions. This makes them an ideal solution for providing telecommunications connectivity, emergency solutions in the event of natural or other disasters, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, Earth observation and a range of defense applications. 

Our customers & partners include some of the largest global telecommunications companies, infrastructure operators, climate researchers, civil and defense agencies. 

At Sceye, we aim high, and we want you to join us at the stratospheric edge of innovation. As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll contribute to building breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we connect and observe the world. We are looking for individuals who bring not only deep expertise but also bold vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Your contributions will be key to ensuring our systems operate seamlessly and efficiently.

What You’ll Do: 

• Design electrical systems to access an array of sensors, and effect a range of actuators depending on system requirements.
• Create and release engineering drawings, schematics, wire-harness assemblies and BOMs to support fabrication and integration.
• Size electrical hardware appropriately—including power systems, connectors, wiring, and related components—to support avionics system requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance design quality, manufacturability, and efficiency.
• Research relevant innovative emerging technologies for potential application and business needs, and recommend improvements or technology investments to support project goals.
• Create QA/QC test procedures for designed circuits, and work with test team to automate the test and checkout process.
• Perform system validation and compliance with test equipment using DMMs, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.
• Collaborate with a talented, cross-functional team to drive project success.
• Review supplier drawing changes impacting production and update obsolete parts or make design improvements.
• Generate test reports for avionics under test and flight reports for characterization of system and capture of performance during flight.
• Other duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems engineering required; 5 years preferred, to effectively navigate and resolve complex issues encountered in low-level embedded systems.
• Flexibility to work varied hours and weekends as needed to meet production and integration schedules.
• Proven experience as a development engineer of avionics products or electronic circuits in aviation and aerospace.
• Experience with Pspice, LTSpice or equivalent schematic capture and circuit simulation tool, including layout design, electronic components stress analysis, worst case circuit analysis, and design for thermal management.
• Experience with various communication protocols such as RS232/422/485, CAN bus, TCP/IP, or any other common data protocols.
• Proficiency with Linux, C/C++, Python, Altium, and MS office tools.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with multi-discipline teams.
• Ability to integrate hardware and software into cohesive systems.
• Experience performing Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations, troubleshooting, and resolutions.
• Experience in scaling up electrical systems designs and products from prototypes to large scale production.
• Experience with implementing principles of Design for manufacturing, test, and integration.
