Job description
Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access. We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online.
As a team, we’ve launched two satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.
Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we’re very excited for the impact we’ll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more!
Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.
Apply and join us on our journey towards global connectivity!
Radiation Test Engineer
As a Radiation Test Engineer, you will lead radiation test efforts by applying your knowledge of radiation effects and their interactions in electronic devices and materials. You will develop complex test plans and debug complex test circuits, perform radiation tests on complex devices, support analysis of the test data to assess compliance to specifications and requirements, and support the development of test reports. As the only New Space company designing for orbits past GEO, you’ll be on the cutting edge of EEE parts screening for space missions.
Role
- Advise design engineers on EEE component selection and assist with design implementation
- Develop test requirements before tests and document results and analysis afterwards
- Plan and execute multiple SEE, TID, ELDRS, and potentially DDD test campaigns
- Develop custom test setups and associated software for data collection and analysis
- Design and test PCBAs for radiation testing, and assist other teams in developing the same when necessary
- Demonstrate excellent communication ability, interpersonal skills, and the ability to interface with engineers across teams
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience performing radiation effects testing for space environments
- Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, nuclear engineering, physics, or equivalent technical field
- A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
- Ability to design and layout PCBAs
- Experience in testing analog and digital circuits
- Experience writing test software, preferably in Python
- US Citizenship or Green Card
Bonus
- Experience up-screening COTS electronics for space use
- Experience with testing for the Geostationary radiation environment (TID, SEE, DDD)
