EE Hardware Design Engineer Verified today
About Array Labs
Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and geopolitical intelligence.
The Role
As an EE Hardware Design Engineer, you will design and validate the digital and mixed-signal electronics that support Array's radar payloads and satellite platforms. Your work will include:
- High-speed digital interfaces
- Precision clocking and timing distribution
- Power regulation and control circuits
- System monitoring and telemetry hardware
- Fault-tolerant designs for small satellites
You will take hardware from design, prototyping, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, mechanical, and systems engineers. The hardware you develop will directly affect system performance, power efficiency, stability, and overall reliability on orbit.
Responsibilities
- Develop advanced electronic platforms from architecture to manufacturing
- Work with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical engineers to design and validate spacecraft electronics
- Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, and design complex electronic assemblies
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns
- Iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental, and on-orbit testing
Required Qualifications
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Experience in electronics design, fabrication, and test
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- Ability to learn new concepts rapidly and independently
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under time constraints
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field
- 4+ years of electrical engineering work experience with full-life cycle development (concept to production) in consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, or robotics
- Solid background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation including PCB stack-up, fabrication, floorplanning, component selection, placement, routing, simulation, and measurement
- Solid background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as s-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matching
- Hands-on experience designing high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), and RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
- Proficiency with schematic capture and layout using CAD tools such as Altium Designer, Allegro, and ORCAD
- Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques
- Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurement
- Expertise in EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boards
- Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTSPICE, ADS, and Microwave Office
- Experience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or Python
- Hands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers
