Responsibilities
You will be responsible for the electrical design, architecture, and detailed circuit-level development of spacecraft electronics. This role involves board bring-up, validation, debugging, and collaborating with software and mechanical teams to integrate custom components.
Requirements
Candidates must have strong expertise in electronics theory, PCB layout using Altium, and high-speed digital design practices. Experience with FPGA platforms, digital communication interfaces, and lab equipment for validation is essential.
Full job description
As a Spacecraft Electronics Engineer, you will be designing and integrating custom components for our next-generation satellite platform.
This includes the design of PCBAs; the selection, evaluation, and integration of various off-the-shelf components and custom sensors, radios, and power systems; making last-minute fixes; working with third-party fabricators and assemblers; and interfacing with the software and mechanical teams. You may also participate in guiding software and mechanical design and may be involved at any stage of development including proof of concept to new product introduction.
What You’ll Do:
Electrical Design of Spacecraft electronics including requirement gathering, architecture and detailed design.

Experience with FPGA (Zynq MPSoC/RFSoC or similar platform) based designs for high speed and high data-rate digital signal processing applications.
Strong knowledge of High-speed digital layout design practices (matched impedance, stack up and manufacturing restrictions) and experience using SI tools.
Experience with digital communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, USB, RS485, RS422, SpaceWire, PCIe, Gbit Ethernet).
Experience with Rigid, Flex and Rigid-Flex PCB design.
Strong debugging experience and fault identification.
Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, etc.
Preferred Skills:
Design for IPC-6012DS Class 3A or ECSS-Q-ST-70-12C/60C compliance
Experienced in High power electronic design and thermal management.
SI tools experience like Hyperlynx or equivalent.
Experience with environmental and component reliability requirements for space application
Design for FPGA Programming (Verilog, VHDL)
