Job description

Join our team of innovators and get a chance to work alongside a team of talented, curious people that are passionate about designing and deploying solutions that are accelerating humanity’s expansion into space.

Our team in Marlborough, MA has been actively accelerating humanity’s expansion into space for multiple decades. During that time, our innovative team has been designing and manufacturing mission-critical, high reliability optical sensors for satellites providing guidance, navigation, situational awareness, and control capabilities. With many more exciting projects on the horizon, our team could use your curiosity, passion, talent and experience to help us Build Above.

Summary

We have a current opportunity for a “Embedded System Hardware Engineer” located at our facility in Marlborough, MA. In this role you will be collaborating with other members of the engineering team and product management develop space-qualified hardware PCBs and FPGA designs for our flight camera, navigational sensor products, and other expanded product lines. The development includes circuit design, analysis, test, qualification, design documents, and supporting the transition of products from R&D to manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Learn applicable product technology, architecture, and design requirements for space-based sensor systems.
Collaborate with the larger product team to effectively produce optimal hardware designs for the space environment.
Analyze and document design specifications, design verification plans and reports, parts stress analysis, worst-case analysis including radiation effects, and failure modes and effects analysis.
Work with the software team to bring up and debug PCB, FPGA, and system-level designs. Maintain hardware throughout the development cycle.
Design and build any special test equipment needed including interface adapters, cables, and associated commercial test support equipment.
Conduct design verification stress testing to validate analysis and design margins. Evaluate any noncompliance’s and develop solutions to bring the product into compliance.
Develop novel system design approaches to mitigate radiation hazards to improved sensor availability or extend mission life.
