Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Design board-level electronic systems for satellite units and RF boards, with focus on power and control circuits using microcontrollers.
- Perform rigorous testing and validation of electronics, ensuring functionality, reliability, and compliance with mission requirements.
- Create and maintain clear documentation, including schematics, PCB layouts, test plans, and procedures.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues during design, prototyping, manufacturing, and in-orbit operations when needed.
- Work closely with RF engineers, mechanical engineers, software developers, and other specialists to ensure seamless integration.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of design practices, test coverage, and in-orbit performance monitoring.
Must-Have Requirements
- 7-10+ years hands-on experience in electronics engineering, with strong specialization in analog electronics design.
- BSc/MSc in Electronic Engineering or related field.
- Proven track record designing low-noise power supplies, timing circuits, and analog signal chains at senior/expert level.
- Significant experience in space, defense, or avionics industry, having worked on flight or mission-critical hardware.
- Strong command of EMI/EMC principles and best practices for noise mitigation.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex analog design efforts and mentor junior engineers.
Nice-to-Have Skills
