Electrical Engineer, Digital Design Verified today
The Role
You will be responsible for leading the design and development of high speed mixed signal electronics to be hosted on some of the largest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. In your first 6 months, you will own the core compute electronics for K2's Mega Class satellite. In your first two years, you will have flown your electronics in space and developed cutting-edge high speed digital electronics systems.
Responsibilities
- Design electronics PCBAs for spacecraft including architecture, component selection, circuit board design, board bring up and debugging
- Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing
- Work with internal and external stakeholders to integrate your designs into the spacecraft systems and operate your hardware in flight
- Develop test equipment, development PCBAs, and test scripts to assist with all of the above
Required Qualifications
