Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

Why this role is important:

As a Staff Satellite Electrical Engineer, you will participate in all aspects of the development and test of the

avionics hardware for the E-Space satellites. For this role, you’ll leverage your 10+ years of experience in

electrical hardware design including schematic capture, PCB layout and testing.

This position will report to the Director of Electrical Engineering and will work closely with the Electrical,

Software and Systems Engineering teams. This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you will do

Develop PCBA requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines
Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
