True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.
True Anomaly is looking for you, a senior to principal-level technical leader, to architect spacecraft-wide harness solutions that span multiple programs, teams, and vehicle configurations. You are accountable for program-level delivery outcomes — not just the quality of individual designs, but the consistency, scalability, and velocity of harness engineering across True Anomaly’s portfolio. You will build reusable patterns and tooling that multiply the effectiveness of every harness engineer on the team, coach engineers across organizational boundaries, and shape cross-org alignment on technical direction. Architect spacecraft-wide electrical harness standards and interface conventions across programs; ensure consistent application of grounding, shielding, EMC isolation, and signal integrity practices at the vehicle level for all programs and vehicle lines. Define spacecraft-level routing rules and mechanical interface standards that integrate harness layouts across full spacecraft configurations, including deployable and multi-module assemblies that resolve competing constraints across thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, and operational domains. Define corporate design-for-manufacture philosophies and reliability standards for harness assemblies; collaborate with industry suppliers on material innovation, process improvement, and next-generation connector and cabling technologies to standardize harness build and verification processes across programs. Ensure cross-discipline consistency in standards and configurations across electrical, mechanical, thermal,
and avionics domains; serve as the integrating authority for harness-related interfaces. Build reusable design patterns and scalable solutions that become organizational assets; Shape company narratives on harness engineering direction and technical investment; build collaboration across organizational boundaries and grow the next generation of senior technical talent. serve as a visible role model for trust, accountability, and principled engineering judgment while setting the cultural tone for how teams collaborate and hold themselves accountable. Anticipate architectural trade-offs before they become problems; proactively identify risks across programs and drive mitigation strategies that protect schedule and mission assurance across programs. Shape the leadership bench for harness engineering; grow senior technical talent, define career development pathways, and influence enterprise engineering culture through visible leadership and principled decision-making. Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, or related engineering discipline; 8+ years of professional experience in spacecraft or aerospace harness engineering, with demonstrated progression into multi-program architectural leadership. ~ Experience architecting harness layouts that integrate across full spacecraft configurations, including complex routing, multi-module assemblies, and deployable elements. ~ Track record of building reusable tooling, templates,
or automation that measurably improved design velocity or quality across teams. ~ Strong ability to coordinate across teams, influence without authority, and shape technical alignment in cross-organizational settings. ~ Experience coaching and developing engineers at multiple career levels; demonstrated investment in growing senior technical talent. ~ Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience shaping cross-org alignment and maintaining composure and clarity under program pressure and influencing executive leadership on technical strategy, investment priorities, and organizational direction. ~ Willing to travel up to 20% of the time. scripted routing validation, automated BOM generation, CAD-integrated design rule checking). Experience with SolidWorks Electrical and Routing and/or NX/Teamcenter at the multi-program or enterprise level. Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches for managing harness interfaces and configurations at scale. Hands-on experience establishing or governing approved parts lists, materials standards, or corporate design guidelines for harness assemblies. Experience contributing to industry standards bodies or working groups related to spacecraft harnessing, EMC, or electrical integration (e.g., Experience shaping engineering culture, onboarding practices, or technical mentorship programs within a growing organization.
