Sr. Electronics Design Engineer

Long Wall Company was created in 2025 to accelerate missile defense technology for the U.S. and our allies. Building on the RS1 and GS0 launch systems, Long Wall develops containerized, mass-producible missile defense systems and offers rapid, low-cost flight testing. We believe that the future of global security and stability require defensive technology that is lower cost, higher performing, better tested, and more broadly distributed than is possible today. Join us.
What we look forMission-Driven Problem Solvers. The aerospace frontier demands ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.
Total Ownership. We seek engineers who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.
DescriptionAs a Sr. Electronics Design Engineer, you will lead the design, development, build, testing and commissioning of electrical systems for missile defense technologies at Long Wall. You will have the opportunity to be a key member of a small team of mechanical, fluid, and electrical engineers working to develop innovative deployable missile defense solutions. This individual will be responsible for electrical design, test and integration, from concept to production, while ensuring alignment with strategic business goals. This is a responsible engineer role that contributes to every mission and every flight we fly as we continue to reimagine the future of missile defense systems.
