Job description

I’m looking to connect with experienced Electrical Engineers with a strong background in digital and mixed‑signal electronics who are interested in developing cutting‑edge hardware for satellites, spacecraft, and aerospace systems.

This is a hands‑on Staff‑level opportunity where you’ll own hardware development from initial architecture through schematic design, PCB layout, analysis, bring‑up, verification, production, and deployment.

What you’ll be working on:

• Digital and mixed‑signal electronics for space applications
• Software‑defined radios (SDRs) and single‑board computers (SBCs)
• Control & telemetry subsystems for phased‑array antenna payloads
• FPGA, ADC/DAC and mixed‑signal board implementation
• Complex PCB design and HDI/high‑speed routing
• Signal integrity and power integrity analysis
• Hardware bring‑up, debugging and root cause analysis
• Design verification and transition into production
• Technical leadership and mentoring of hardware engineers

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ years of board‑level electronics design, analysis and test experience
• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering
• Strong digital and mixed‑signal electronics expertise
• Experience owning complex board designs from architecture through production
• Expert‑level proficiency with Altium Designer
• Strong PCB layout knowledge, including HDI stackups and high‑speed routing
• Experience with SI/PI simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave, ADS SIPro or Mentor HyperLynx
• Extensive hands‑on lab experience with hardware bring‑up and verification
• Strong debugging, root cause analysis and design review experienceExcellent communication and cross‑functional engineering skills
• Experience with 10+ Gbps SerDes, SDRs, space/defense electronics, high‑reliability design, radiation environments, or leading multi‑module hardware developments would be particularly valuable.

Due to U.S. space technology export regulations, candidates must meet the applicable U.S. export‑control eligibility requirements for the position.

If your background is in digital/mixed‑signal hardware, high‑speed digital, FPGA‑based board design, SDRs, signal integrity, or space electronics, I’d love to hear from you.
