Array Labs is building a constellation of satellites to create the first accurate 3D map of the world. Our formation flying radar satellites offer a revolutionary new approach to Earth observation, delivering unique and unparalleled insights of our planet, and we need the help of a first-rate board design engineer.
As a board design engineer, you will own the layout, manufacture and bring-up of radar, communications and compute hardware for cutting-edge satellites and ground infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with our antenna, RF, and electrical engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.
In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world.
Responsibilities:
Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturingWork closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronicsCreate requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturingLead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns.Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testingBasic Qualifications:
Experience in board design and layoutExperience in electronics manufacture, bring-up, and test Excellent teamwork and communication skillsLearns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed mannerHigh levels of self-motivation and personal accountabilityAbility to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraintsPreferred Skills and Experience:
Bachelor in electrical engineering, or a related field4+ years of electrical engineering work experience with full-life cycle development (concept to production) of consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics Background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, PCB fabrication, floorplanning, component selection, placement and routing, simulation and measurementHands-on experience laying out high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurementHands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzersITAR Requirements:
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.Equal Opportunity Employer
