HILSIL Designer and Lead

A new space race has begun. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability.

OUR MISSION

The peaceful use of space is essential for continued prosperity on Earth—from communications and finance to navigation and logistics. True Anomaly builds innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. We safeguard global security by ensuring space access and sustainability for all.

OUR VALUES

• Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity
• What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results
• It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced engineer to develop a custom hardware-in-the-loop / software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) testbed for our spacecraft. In this role, you’ll be responsible for verifying the spacecraft-level functionality of both hardware and software, and supporting on-orbit anomaly resolution. You’ll take full ownership of the development, configuration control, and maintenance of the HIL/SIL system, including the supporting software. Bring your innovative ideas for a "factory of the future" and apply them in a fast-paced production environment with same-year space flight results. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) systems for spacecraft testing and validation. 
• Define the architecture for HIL/SIL systems to enable accurate simulation of spacecraft dynamics, sensors, actuators, and environment. 
• Collaborate with systems engineering, GNC, avionics, and software teams to define requirements and ensure seamless integration of HIL/SIL systems into the development lifecycle. 
• Develop high-fidelity real-time simulation models of spacecraft subsystems, including propulsion, thermal, power, and communication systems. 
• Implement and integrate simulation interfaces, data acquisition systems, and real-time control hardware to create a comprehensive HIL/SIL testing platform. 
• Design and execute test campaigns using HIL/SIL systems to validate software, firmware, and hardware functionality before integration and flight. 
• Analyze and troubleshoot issues identified during HIL/SIL testing, collaborating with engineering teams to resolve them efficiently. 
• Maintain and upgrade HIL/SIL systems to support evolving mission requirements and technology advancements. 
• Define, lead, execute test and flight scripts used in ground testing and flight 

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in controls, mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or software engineering. 
• 5-7+  years of professional experience with spacecraft simulators and EGSE. 
• Demonstrated excellence in mechanical, electrical and software systems 
• Experience with CAD, ability to open models, review drawings
