Electrical Engineering Manager - Mixed Signal Hardware

You will be responsible for the delivery of custom Software Defined Radios. As a team leader you will oversee cradle-to-grave hardware development: architecture definition, board design, testing, and qualification.

Role

  • Lead and develop a team of electrical engineers to design software-defined radios capable of running complex signal processing algorithms in space
  • Oversee and manage design workflows for highly complex PCBAs with integrated compute, high-speed I/O, data converters, and power distribution
  • Architect ultra high-speed mixed-signal systems to achieve efficient and flexible communications payloads, integrating them with the rest of the spacecraft
  • Ensure competitiveness through continuous technical innovation and industry expertise

Requirements

  • B.S. or higher in electrical or computer engineering, or similar technical degree
  • 8+ years of professional experience in mixed-signal and high-speed digital hardware design, including FPGAs, high-speed data converters, SerDes, high-speed serial links, networking, and JESD204C
  • 8+ years of PCB-level experience designing hardware from concept through production: schematic capture, layout, bring-up, characterization
  • Proven leadership through project management, mentorship, and people management experience
  • Passion for hardware development in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Experience with design and analysis of payloads for satellite communications, including radiation effects within FPGA-based systems

Bonus

  • Strong background in mixed-signal system performance measurement, design validation, and debugging (EVM testing, spur analysis, multi-carrier measurements)
  • Experience simulating high-speed digital protocols using Ansys SIwave, Keysight ADS, or similar tools
  • Experience with Altium or similar EDA tools for high-density PCB design
  • Strong background in digital communications theory and measurement of radio nonidealities (HD, IMD, IQ imbalance, gain ripple, group delay distortion)

Compensation

Base salary: $180,000 to $250,000 USD. Compensation includes equity via incentive stock options, company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance, 401(k) retirement planning, flexible PTO, and free on-site catered meals.

Requirements

U.S. Citizenship, Lawful Permanent Residency, or Refugee/Asylee Status required to comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations.
