Descripción del empleo

NeuralSat is developing space infrastructure that combines high-performance AI computing with laser and RF communications.

We are hiring a versatile Space Electronics Engineer to design, build, and test the hardware powering these systems. You will work across compute, communications, power, interfaces, and spacecraft integration, taking designs from initial architecture through qualification and flight readiness.

Your Mission

• Design, test and qualify electronics for in-orbit AI computing and high-throughput communications
• Design digital, analog, mixed-signal, RF-support, and power electronics
• Develop data processing unit integrating GPU, FPGA, AI accelerator
• Design and integrate Ka-band transmitters, receivers, frequency converters, amplifiers, filters, antennas, and modems
• Contribute to 5G NTN payload architectures aligned with relevant 3GPP standards
• Integrate compute clusters with optical and RF communication payloads
• Create schematics, multilayer PCB layouts, interface definitions, bills of materials, and manufacturing packages
• Select components based on performance, radiation tolerance, thermal limits, reliability, availability, and cost
• Bring up, characterize, and debug prototype and flight hardware

What you bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, communications engineering, or a related discipline
• 3+ years of experience developing complex electronic hardware from concept through testing
• Strong expertise in high-speed digital computing hardware, RF communications, or optical communications
• Working knowledge of the other hardware domains covered by the role
• Understanding of RF systems, satellite link budgets, and digital communications
• Familiarity with cellular systems and 5G physical-layer concepts
• Experience with schematic capture and multilayer PCB design using Altium Designer, KiCad, or equivalent
• Practical experience with board bring-up, debugging, rework, and laboratory instrumentation

How we work

You will join a multidisciplinary team developing mission-critical technology at the intersection of spacecraft engineering, telecommunications, edge computing, and artificial intelligence.

As an early technical contributor, you will have broad ownership and influence over architecture, design practices, supplier decisions, testing, and flight qualification. You should be comfortable moving between detailed circuit work and spacecraft-level engineering trade-offs.
