Digital Electronics Engineer Verified today
The Role
As a Digital Electronics Engineer on the hardware team, you will own the design, manufacture, test and deployment of highly integrated PCBAs for space customers. You will work with software, RF hardware, and FPGA engineers to shepherd products from initial design to vehicle integration, taking a full-stack approach to building robust space communication systems.
Responsibilities
- Design high-speed digital hardware including processors, FPGAs, memory, interfaces, and supporting circuitry
- Perform trades and analyses of board architecture and component selection
- Execute schematic capture and layout of space-grade PCBs
- Conduct bring-up and testing of new designs
- Partner with RF engineers, software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing and production test teams to drive designs end-to-end
- Work with mechanical engineers to ensure proper thermal dissipation of devices
- Coordinate with supply chain to enable rapid manufacture and iteration
- Design for performance under space-grade acceptance, qualification, and compliance requirements
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline
- 3+ years of professional experience designing high-speed digital circuitry
- Proven experience designing boards using EDA tools such as Altium Designer
- Experience designing and debugging Xilinx RFSoC or MPSoC-based systems or equivalent platforms
- Experience debugging SoCs across the bootup stack (baremetal, bootloader, Linux)
- Experience in modeling, simulation, and testing of digital and power electronics
- Familiarity with failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMEA)
Preferred Experience
- Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and power supply components
- Deep understanding of configuration and interfacing of volatile and nonvolatile memory
- Experience designing power trees with complex sequencing requirements
- Experience selecting and monitoring components capable of performing in a radiation environment
Compensation
Estimated base salary: $130,000 to $180,000 per year, plus equity. Total compensation includes equity grant and benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision, HSA, 401K).
