EE Hardware Design Engineer
Posted Updated
- As an EE Hardware Design Engineer, you will design and validate the digital and mixed-signal electronics that support Array’s radar payloads and satellite platforms
- Your work will include high-speed digital interfaces, precision clocking and timing distribution, power regulation and control circuits, system monitoring and telemetry hardware, and fault-tolerant designs suitable for the constraints of small satellites
- You will take hardware from design, prototyping, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, mechanical, and systems engineers. The hardware you develop will directly affect system performance, power efficiency, stability, and overall reliability on orbit
- As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet
- Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturing
- Work closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronics
- Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturing
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns
- Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testing
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Experience in electronics design, fabrication, and test
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
- Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related field
- 4+ years of proven electrical engineering work experience with full-life cycle development (concept to production) of consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics
- Solid background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, PCB fabrication, floorplanning, component selection, placement and routing, simulation and measurement
- Solid background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as s-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matching
- Hands-on experience designing high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
- Proficiency with schematic capture and layout using CAD tools such as Altium Designer, Allegro, and ORCAD
- Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques
- Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurement
- Experience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or python
- Expertise in EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boards
- Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTSPICE, ADS and Microwave Office
- Hands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers
- We will conduct interviews via Google Meet; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish
