Location: Hauppauge, New York; Texas placement may be consideredEmployment: Full-time, on-siteLevel: Recent graduate through experienced engineer
iRocket is seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to develop electronic hardware and instrumentation supporting our solid rocket motor and rocket engine test facilities.We are looking for someone who has designed, built, and tested working circuit boards—particularly boards involving digital-to-analog converters (DACs), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), sensor interfaces, or data acquisition (DAQ). Recent electrical engineering graduates with strong laboratory, internship, capstone, or personal-project experience are encouraged to apply.
What you’ll doDesign and develop custom PCBs for instrumentation, sensor interfaces, analog inputs and outputs, and test equipment.Take boards from component selection and schematic capture through PCB layout, fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and troubleshooting.Integrate measurement hardware with sensors, laboratory instruments, and test software.Develop embedded firmware and software tools for hardware communication, data logging, and automated equipment checks.Troubleshoot electrical noise, grounding, shielding, signal integrity, and measurement accuracy.Create wiring diagrams, bills of materials, test procedures, calibration records, and engineering documentation.Collaborate with mechanical, software, and test engineers to commission and maintain reliable test instrumentation.
Required qualificationsBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.Demonstrated experience designing and testing at least one physical PCB. University and personal projects qualify.Understanding of analog and digital circuits, ADCs/DACs, operational amplifiers, filtering, and power supplies.Experience with Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, or comparable PCB design software.Ability to use oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench power supplies, and other laboratory equipment.Familiarity with embedded programming or hardware automation using C/C++, Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools.Strong troubleshooting skills and a willingness to work directly with hardware.
Preferred experienceCustom DAC/ADC boards, mixed-signal electronics, or multichannel DAQ systems.Sensor signal conditioning and precision measurement.NI hardware, LabVIEW, or comparable instrumentation platforms.Microcontrollers and interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, or Ethernet.Cable harnesses, connectors, instrumentation cabinets, and industrial electrical systems.Aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation, or university propulsion/test teams. xzbcwsv Experience with propulsion, energetics, or hazardous test environments is a strong plus.
