About the Electronics Department
The Electronics Department designs and develops the internal and external electronic systems that power, control, and monitor the rocket. From sensor integration and ignition control to embedded programming and telemetry, we work at the intersection of hardware and software.
​
As an electronics engineer, you’ll gain hands-on experience with PCB design, microcontroller programming, control systems, and system integration. You’ll help build reliable, redundant systems capable of operating under the extreme conditions of launch, flight, and recovery.
​
Whether you're passionate about embedded systems, digital signal processing, or FPGA design, you’ll be part of a team that makes the rocket smart — and safe.
