What you'll do
- Design and develop high-reliability satellite and spacecraft electronics
- Execute full hardware lifecycle: requirements, component selection, schematics, PCB layout, prototyping, debugging, and testing
- Support production, satellite integration, and flight operations with hands-on involvement
- Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, and test engineering teams on integrated systems
- Perform failure analysis and troubleshooting of satellite and gateway hardware
- Monitor on-orbit satellite health and lead anomaly investigations
What they're looking for
- Analog and mixed-signal circuit design
- PCB layout and schematic capture
- High-speed digital communications and Serdes
- Power electronics and distribution systems
- FPGA and processor design integration
- Hardware testing and debugging equipment
- Python or similar programming languages
- RF and antenna system fundamentals
