Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and develop high-speed digital networking electronics and optical terminal systems for space-based routing. Responsibilities include implementing optical interface protocols, designing power delivery systems, and managing hardware-in-the-loop testing.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and 3+ years of experience in high-speed digital or analog electronics design. Candidates must be proficient with PCB design tools and capable of obtaining a US security clearance.
The role
Join our electrical engineering team to design and develop the electronics that make our vision of space networking a reality - from the high-speed digital systems inside our Ephemeris Network Box to the opto-electronics that run optical inter-satellite links terminals.
You'll contribute to three critical hardware domains: (1) the high-speed digital networking electronics capable of routing data at up to 9.6 Tbps between multiple optical terminals and managing a ~200 TB space-based data cache, (2) the optical terminal electronics including motor control systems, fine steering control electronics, photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, and laser drivers that enable free-space optical communication, and (3) semi-custom optical transceivers that bridge our networking and optical systems.
As part of our electrical engineering team, you'll help establish how we approach electronics design for space networking systems and contribute to building Ephemeris Net's hardware engineering capabilities. Your designs will define the hardware foundation for all Ephemeris Net products.
This role will report to the CTO and co-founder, Nicolas Brown.
Key responsibilities
The following are responsibilities across our electrical engineering team. You will own a subset of these based on your experience and interests, and contribute to others as needed.
