Job summary

Growth For Impact invites a senior engineer to lead architecture, design, and development of space-grade electronic systems in Bengaluru. You will own board-level hardware for mission-critical subsystems, and drive hardware lifecycle from requirements to release with a focus on reliability and robustness.

Key responsibilities include power integrity, EMI/EMC, and interface protocols while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating across disciplines.

Qualifications

• Strong fundamentals in analog electronics, digital electronics, and power electronics.
• Knowledge of SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, LVDS, SpaceWire, or Ethernet.
• Experience with high-reliability aerospace or defense electronics preferred.
• Knowledge of ESD control and board-level protection design.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, design, and development of electronic systems for spacecraft and payload applications.
• Design and realise board-level hardware combining analog, digital, and power electronics for mission-critical space systems.
• Own the complete hardware lifecycle including requirements capture, trade studies, schematic design, component selection, PCB implementation, bring-up, validation, and release.
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, root-cause analysis, and design iteration using lab instrumentation.
• Develop test plans, test procedures, validation matrices, and operating procedures for board-level, subsystem-level, and integrated spacecraft electronics.
• Generate and maintain documentation including requirements, interface control documents, design descriptions, analysis reports, test documentation, and manufacturing support packages.
• Provide technical guidance during design reviews, failure analysis, and subsystem trade studies.
• Mentor junior engineers in good design practices for mixed-signal, power, and high-reliability electronics.
