Job description

As an Electrical Engineer you will be an integral part of an expanding design team. You will be expected to work within a cross discipline team supporting the development of electrical systems for use in satellites. The team is small so you will be expected to work in a fast-paced environment. You must be willing to learn and adapt to working outside of your comfort zone.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop high reliability electrical systems and PCBs for satellite devices
Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test
Perform PCB troubleshooting and root cause analysis down to component level
Prepare fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, BOMs, and general documentation required for design transfer to fabrication and assembly.
Maintain and update requirements and design documentation throughout the entire system life cycle
Maintain effective communication with all the functional groups to ensure project success (such as mechanical, manufacturing, software, test, and supply chain)

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required
5-10 years of hardware development experience in PCB board design and layout and electronic system prototyping and validation
Advanced proficiency with design tools for schematic capture (Altium preferred)
Comfortable working in the lab with oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, and logic analyzers
Demonstrates strong technical ability and creativity at a fundamental level
Excellent presentation and communication skills
Strong technical documentation skills

Preferred Skills and Experience

Passion for space and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications
Excitement for making systems smarter, better, faster, cheaper
Experience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources
Experience with developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware
Experience with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice
Soldering skills on surface mount and thru-hole components
Design experience on high voltage (1-3kV) and high power (1.5kW) systems
Experience working with hazardous voltages
2D and 3D computer aided design and modeling (SolidWorks)
Experience with requirements management
Experience with system verification and validation
Embedded systems and microcontroller implementation and programming
Understanding of analog high speed and differential signal routing
Experience with high performance digital processors, FPGAs, memory chips, or network switches
Experience with circuit board design-for-manufacturability, productization of electronics
