- Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
- OUR MISSION
- True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
- 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 seeking a skilled and motivated PCB Layout Engineer III to join our electrical engineering team. In this role, you will work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, high-performance PCBAs for advanced spacecraft applications. You will contribute across the board design lifecycle — from schematic review through part placement, layout, design for manufacturability, and release to manufacturing — with growing ownership of increasingly complex designs. You bring solid hands-on layout experience and a drive to develop your skills in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment.
