About Varda Low Earth orbit is open for business. Varda is accelerating the development of commercial space infrastructure, from in-orbit pharmaceutical processing to reliable and economical reentry capsules. Varda’s…
Varda Space is hiring a Principal Avionics Hardware Development Engineer in El Segundo, CA to architect and design flight-critical electronics — flight computers, power systems, and sensors — for satellite buses, reentry vehicles, and payloads. The work spans PCB schematic/layout, qualification testing (thermal, vibe, TVAC, EMI), and Python/MATLAB-based analysis.
Designs and owns flight-critical avionics hardware for Varda's satellite buses, reentry vehicles, and payloads, from schematic capture and PCB layout through validation and environmental qualification (thermal, vibe, TVAC, EMI). Core tech: mixed-signal and power electronics design, SPI/RS422/1000BASE-T protocols, plus Python/MATLAB for analysis.
Designs, builds, and owns bespoke ground support equipment and test infrastructure (propulsion test stands, TVAC chambers, DAQ systems, PLC cabinets) that qualifies Varda's spaceflight hardware for orbit. Core stack: SolidWorks/NX CAD, Altium/EPLAN electrical design, and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 PLCs with in-house EtherCAT tooling, on-site in El Segundo, CA.
Designs, builds, and end-to-end owns ground support equipment and test systems — propulsion test stands, TVAC/thermal chambers, DAQ rigs, and PLC control cabinets — that qualify Varda's spacecraft hardware for flight. Core stack: SolidWorks/NX CAD, Altium/EPLAN schematics, high-pressure gas/fluid systems, and Beckhoff TwinCAT/EtherCAT automation.
A hands-on mechanical engineer who designs, builds, and maintains ground test equipment (propulsion test stands, TVACs, centrifuges, DAQ and fluid/gas systems) that qualifies Varda's spaceflight hardware. The role blends mechanical design in SolidWorks/NX, electrical cabinet wiring with Altium/EPLAN, and Beckhoff TwinCAT PLC/EtherCAT automation.
