Hardware Engineer
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).
