Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.

We’re launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.

We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world’s most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they’re needed most.

About the Job

The hardware engineering team is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station electronics, which spans the range of radar, communications, power management and processing subsystems.

As a power management design engineer, you will lead the definition, design, prototyping, validation, and production of critical power management systems for radar, communication, and satellite. You will be collaborating with RF, communications, and radar engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

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.

Lead the end-to-end design and development of power management systems from concept to production
