Description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking a Senior Hardware Electrical Engineer to own the design and development of electrical systems and PCBAs for mass-produced consumer devices. You will design complex mixed-signal circuits optimized for tight spaces, high-density layouts, low power consumption, and thermal efficiency. This role requires close collaboration with industrial designers, mechanical engineers, RF specialists, and battery teams. 

What you will do:

  • Own complete PCBA and electrical system development from architecture through mass production. 

  • Design schematic capture and high-density PCB layouts using Altium Designer, optimizing minimal space and thermal efficiency. 

  • Develop power architecture, conduct power analysis, and optimize low-power consumption in resource-constrained devices. 

  • Perform circuit analysis including signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal simulation using SPICE and CAD tools. 

  • Select and evaluate components for performance, power efficiency, reliability, and cost-effective mass production. 

  • Develop test strategies and execute design verification, qualification, and production testing. 

  • Lead design reviews and collaborate with product, mechanical, industrial design, RF, and battery teams on system integration. 

  • Hands-on debugging of PCBA signals, power, bring-up, and other issues with feedback into design iterations. 

  • Support manufacturing for cost optimization, yield improvement, and efficient mass production. 

What we are looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field; or equivalent practical experience 

  • 3+ years of experience designing consumer electronics products 

  • Hands-on experience with PCB design, schematic capture, and board bring-up in Altium Designer 

  • Strong expertise in power management, low-power design, and thermal analysis 

  • Experience with circuit simulation (SPICE) and mixed-signal circuit design (analog and digital) 

  • Proficiency with electrical test equipment and test planning for product validation 

  • Experience working with industrial designers and mechanical engineers on form factor integration 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with low-power and battery-powered mobile device design 

  • Experience with multiple PCB technologies (rigid, flex, rigid flex) 

  • Experience with RF circuit design and antenna integration 

  • Experience with IoT, wearables, phones, or compact consumer electronics 

  • Experience bringing consumer products to mass production 


This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Santa Clara, CA office. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. 
 
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
 
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.  
 
In your first 90 days, you will have mapped the current embedded software architecture, identified the highest-priority gaps, and shipped at least one meaningful feature end-to-end. Within six months, you will have established a team testing standard, introduced measurable improvements to firmware reliability, and built strong working relationships with hardware and systems engineering. 
 
 
 

How We Work

• On-site, collaborative environment. We build physical hardware - presence matters.

• Small teams with high autonomy. You own your area end-to-end.

• Fast iteration cycles. We prototype, test, and revise quickly.

• Direct feedback culture. We expect candor and respect in equal measure.


Why E-Space is right for you:

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.  Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.  In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.  

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

• An opportunity to really make a difference
• Sustainability at our core
• Fair and honest workplace
• Innovative thinking is encouraged
• Competitive salaries
• Continuous learning and development
• Health and wellness care options
• Financial solutions for the future
• Optional legal services (US only)
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
