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.
What is the role:
The E-Space avionics development team designs complex multi-layer, mixed signal circuit boards for the position, navigation, control and communications capabilities of the world’s most advanced spacecraft. These boards are highly integrated with sensors and next generation ASICs and include digital and analog high-speed interconnections with other sub-systems.
As a Principal Satellite Electrical Engineer, you will lead the development of a sub-system collaborating with other hardware, software and manufacturing engineers. You will be recognized company-wide as the Responsible Engineer through prototyping, fabrication, testing and production. Further, you will have frequent opportunities to test and operate your systems on-orbit.
This position is based in Saratoga, CA.
Requirements:
• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
• Must be willing to travel on short trips as needed
What you will do:
- 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
- Support production and manufacturing
What you bring to this role:
- Required Experience
- You will have led from initial concept to production, the design, development, layout and qualification of a specific board or sub-system
- You will have experience in high reliability component design and production
- Preferred Skills and Experience
- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
- 10+ 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, and navigation sensors
- Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and layout of complex PCBs
- Proficiency performing circuit analyses in SPICE and Excel
- Demonstrated success in a fast-paced environment
- Basic Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- Experience designing for space environments
- RF and transmission line design and simulation skills
- Experience designing rigid-flex PCBs
- 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.
