About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop, maintain, and execute the TeraWave EEE Parts Management Plan and approved-parts strategy
Review and approve EEE parts for satellite and payload applications across development, qualification, and flight configurations
Establish requirements for selection, qualification, screening, derating, upscreening, traceability, storage, handling, date-code, lot-control, and change notification
Evaluate commercial, industrial, automotive, military, and space-grade parts using manufacturer data, process maturity, qualification pedigree, construction analysis, failure history, radiation evidence, and application conditions
Maintain a configuration-controlled approved-parts list and part-approval workflow linked to BOMs, drawing releases, deviations/waivers, risk records, and supplier changes
Lead part-application reviews covering electrical, thermal, mechanical, packaging, mounting, solderability, and life considerations
Coordinate with Radiation Engineering on TID, DDD, SEE, lot-specific evidence, and radiation testing
Coordinate with Reliability Engineering on failure rates, failure mechanisms, FMEA criticality, life models, and reliability predictions
Coordinate with M&P, PCB/CCA, harness, and manufacturing teams on materials, tin whisker risk, red plague, lead-free controls, counterfeit avoidance, moisture sensitivity, cleanliness, and workmanship
Define and oversee physical analysis, construction analysis, qualification, screening, lot acceptance, burn-in, life, and failure-analysis activities
Assess obsolescence, allocation, sole-source, counterfeit, end-of-life, and product-change-notification risks and develop mitigation strategies with Supply Chain
Drive part standardization and reuse across LRUs and payloads
Support supplier audits, source selection, technical interchange meetings, failure investigations, MRB, nonconformance dispositions, and corrective actions
Create dashboards and metrics for BOM approval status, radiation evidence, lifecycle health, exceptions, screening/test status, and supply risk using PLM and enterprise data sources
Serve as program technical authority for EEE part selection and application across the spacecraft bus and RF and optical payloads

Requirements

What you’ll need

B.S. in electrical engineering, materials engineering, physics, chemistry, reliability engineering, or a related technical field
