• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the lifecycle, including development, production, and on-orbit anomalies
• Use data and industry insights to inform design decisions and improve system performance
• Mentor engineers and contribute to building a high-performing hardware team
• 10+ years’ experience in electronics engineering, ideally in aerospace, embedded, or other mission‑critical environments
• Strong background in board-level design, including schematics, PCB layout, bring‑up, and validation
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional projects with system‑level impact
• Proven ability to solve complex technical problems using advanced design and measurement techniques
• Expertise in lab testing and system‑level validation, with confident use of standard test equipment
• Strong skills in debugging and root‑cause analysis at board and system level
• Ability to balance technical performance with cost, manufacturability, and schedule
• Clear communicator, able to work effectively across teams and stakeholders
• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (BSc/MSc/PhD)
• Experience in the aerospace or space industry
• Familiarity with radiation effects, thermal constraints, and in‑orbit operations
• Experience with Python or scripting in Linux environments

We welcome applications from international candidates and are able to provide visa sponsorship for highly qualified individuals.
