Description

As a Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital), your core responsibility will be to own architecture, design, and bringup of custom digital circuit boards for software defined radios. You will work with RF engineers, RF software engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to meet test needs across a wide range of capabilities. You will work on uplink and downlink software defined radios utilizing FPGAs, memory interfaces, high speed digital peripherals, and analog to digital converters. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all aspects of spacecraft electronics development, from architecting new systems to building and operating them.

Responsibilities

Design and bring up high speed digital systems supporting software defined radios
Contribute to new spacecraft RF architecture trades
Develop circuit boards (schematic and layout) for spacecraft, with an emphasis on digital electronics
Perform rigorous analyses and simulations of digital devices and systems
Perform development testing of hardware in the lab, from single digital designs to entire RF systems
Derive digital hardware design requirements from system-level specifications
Own hardware through qualification and flight operations
Establish and maintain high technical standards and mentor less experienced engineers
Improve existing products throughout their lifecycle by troubleshooting issues, performing failure analysis of parts and systems, and implementing improvements

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
5+ years professional experience designing digital electronics
Proficiency with electronics component selection, analysis, simulation, schematics, and layout
Knowledge of digital circuit design concepts including signal integrity, timing, etc.
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals
Experience troubleshooting electronics problems at the board level or system level
Ability to communicate technical challenges, explain rationale, and resolve concerns
Familiarity with high speed digital simulation software, such as Hyperlynx, Sigrity, SiWave, ADS, or similar

Preferred Skills and Experience

Experience with Altium Designer
Familiarity with electromagnetic sim tools such as ADS, HFSS, CST, Genesys, or similar
Layout experience with large BGA ICs
Experience with radiation-tolerant digital design including component selection, derating, SEU mitigation, and fault-tolerant architecture
Familiarity with common RF protocols like SRS4, DVBS-II, and CCSDS
Experience with multi-gigabit SERDES design, simulation, and testing
Experience designing high speed digital interfaces such as DDR4/5, PCIe, RGMII/SGMII, Ethernet
Experience in a startup or agile development environment
