The role

Join Mynaric as Principal Electronics Engineer and lead the electronics architecture of next-generation multi-waveform optical communication terminals. You will own this domain end-to-end, from requirements definition through verified design and into production.

Your responsibilities:

  • Own the electronics architecture of next-generation multi-waveform optical communication terminals, from requirements to verified design.
  • Define electrical interfaces, power architecture, grounding and shielding concepts, and partitioning between controller, modem and optical head electronics.
  • Set the high-speed design strategy for multi-gigabit links, high-pin-count FPGAs and advanced packages, including SI/PI analysis and design rules.
  • Own EMI/EMC from design for compliance through test planning, pre-compliance testing and issue resolution.
  • Lead electronics content in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and represent electronics toward customers and technology partners.
  • Work with mechanical, thermal, optical, embedded software and production teams on trades for performance, reliability, radiation tolerance and manufacturability.
  • Guide and mentor electronics engineers and set standards for design quality, verification and documentation.

What you need

  • M.Sc. or PhD in Electrical Engineering or comparable field.
  • Minimum 10 years of hands-on professional experience in electronics development, including at least 3 years as architect or technical lead for complex systems.
  • Experience in space, aerospace or defense preferred.
  • Hands-on design experience in high-speed digital design and SI/PI simulation tools; not only a reviewing or management role.
  • Hands-on EMI/EMC experience, from design through testing, including standards such as MIL-STD-461 or ECSS-E-ST-20-07.
  • Knowledge of space electronics: component selection, derating and radiation effects.
  • Hands-on use of Altium Designer and advanced laboratory instruments for bring-up and debugging.

What we offer

Permanent employment with varied areas of responsibility and attractive employee benefits. Work with inspiring colleagues from around the world on unique and challenging projects in optical communication technology.
