Spacecraft Electronics Engineer

As an Electronics Engineer, you will be designing and integrating custom components for our next-generation satellite platform. This includes the design of PCBAs; the selection, evaluation, and integration of various off-the-shelf components and custom sensors, radios, and power systems; making last-minute fixes; working with third-party fabricators and assemblers; and interfacing with the software and mechanical teams. You may be involved at any stage of development including proof of concept to new product introduction.

Responsibilities:

• Electrical Design of Spacecraft electronics including requirement gathering and detailed design
• Schematic capture and PCB Layout using Altium Designer 
• Power supply and power monitoring circuit design
• Signal and Power integrity simulation and analysis
• Peer review of schematics and layouts
• Board bring-up, verification and debugging

What You Bring:

• Electronics theory, including component knowledge and analogue and digital circuitry expertise
• Board design including schematic capture, PCB layout using any enterprise software (Altium preferred) with focus on Design for manufacturing (DFM) principles.
• Knowledge of High-speed digital layout design practices (matched impedance, stack up and manufacturing restrictions).
• Experience with digital communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, USB, LVDS, Ethernet)
• Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, etc
• Strong Debugging experience and fault identification

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Experience with FPGA, SI tools like Hyperlynx or equivalent
• Experienced in High power electronic design and thermal management
• Experience with rigid-flex PCB design 
• RF theory/circuitry (Power amps, filters, layout etc)
• EMC testing
• Space experience

Please note that our application process includes a challenge. Our motto is 'show me the data,' so if you make it to the challenge round, you'll have time to give us your best work on a problem that lets you put your skills on display or showcase your existing portfolio

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in office.  

Access to US export controlled software and/or technology may be required. _#LI-DC1
