Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.
As a communications systems engineer on the hardware engineering team, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the design of the first orbital MIMO radar imaging system. In this critical role, you will be collaborating with silicon, antenna, software, and other engineering teams to build cutting-edge hardware, rapidly moving all the way from clean-sheet designs into full operational deployment in space.
Responsibilities:
System-level and link-level design in support of ground-breaking satellite communication and radar imaging systemWork closely with ASIC/FPGA, RF/antenna, and software engineers to design and validate silicon-based systemsDevelop floating-point and fixed-point models and build simulations to analyze system performanceGenerate bit-accurate and cycle-accurate vector models to support IC design verificationCreate spacecraft hardware requirements, specifications, and test proceduresSupport RF system bring-up and validation by developing and implementing hardware test plansBasic Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, physics, or a related fieldExperience in system-level modeling and digital signal processingExcellent 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:

Why you should join Array Labs
Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high-resolution, real-time, three-dimensional model of Earth. Our next-generation satellite technology will offer image quality 60x greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.
In forging an affordable, accessible, accurate representation of Earth, our work has the potential to transform the face of dozens of fields, including autonomy, telecommunications, disaster relief, gaming, climate science, defense and construction.
