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:
The Senior Avionics Electrical Engineer will participate in the development and test of avionics hardware for E-Space satellites. You will work collaboratively with engineers of various disciplines and participate in all aspects of electrical hardware development, from requirements definition through design, prototyping, fabrication, testing, and production. As an engineer on the E-Space avionics team you will have frequent opportunities to test and operate your systems on-orbit.
This position will be based in our Saratoga, CA offices.
What you’ll be doing:
- Develop PCBA requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
- Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer.
- Circuit analysis including power, tolerance, and reliability related.
- PCBA design verification testing and system integration testing.
- Engineering harness design and fabrication
- Production manufacturing support as needed.
What you bring to this role:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- 7+ years of experience in electrical hardware design including schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
- Design proficiency with processors, FPGAs, switch mode power supplies, high speed data interfaces, precision analog instrumentation.
- Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and layout of complex PCBs.
- Proficiency performing circuit analyses in SPICE and Excel.
- Proficiency with basic electronic lab equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal generators, soldering iron, etc.
- Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment.
Extra bonus points for the followng:
- Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- Experience designing for space environments including radiation SEE/TID impacts and mitigation.
- RF and transmission line design and simulation skills.
- Experience designing rigid-flex PCBs and general electro-mechanical design familiarity.
- FPGA design skills.
- Embedded software development skills for ARM core processors.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
