The team designs the satellites' phased-array antenna electronics: meter-wide, 20+ layer boards carrying thousands of components - including three families of custom silicon (beamforming, modem, network processing) - linked by ~25 Gbps high-speed digital buses. Boards are coming back from fabrication faster than the design team can validate them. That's where you come in: senior EEs who can do real board design and own hardware in the lab.

  • Lead bring-up of newly fabricated boards: power-on, section-by-section checkout, first-time debug to root cause.
  • Plan and run design verification/validation campaigns - high-speed link testing, power measurements, functional test - and document results to program standards.
  • Partner daily with the design team; drive fixes into the next board revision.
  • Contribute to schematic and layout work on next-generation boards as bandwidth allows.
  • Hand off validated hardware to the RF/antenna team and support their measurement needs.

What we're looking for

  • Experience of EE board-level design: schematic capture, complex dense multilayer PCBs, power delivery and sequencing.
  • Hands-on lab strength - the heart of this role: board bring-up, debug, and validation; fluency with oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, and high-speed test gear.
  • High-speed digital experience: multi-gigabit SerDes/interfaces (e.g., JESD204, PCIe, 25G+ Ethernet, DDR) and signal/power integrity awareness.
  • Full lifecycle experience: design → build → bring-up → validation → manufacturing support.
  • BSEE or MSEE (or equivalent experience).

GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.

Satellite Hardware Engineer

THE ROLE You will own complex, high-speed board design in the phased-array signal chain - and see your designs through the lab. The team runs design and validation in parallel: while one board revision is being validated at the bench, the next is in design. You'll design boards (schematic capture, component selection, layout ownership), personally bring up newly fabricated hardware, debug to root cause, and feed findings into the next revision. This is a design-first seat with real lab ownership - not a test role, and not a documentation role. WHAT YOU'LL DO Design high-complexity, high-speed digital boards: schematic capture,...
