Electrical Engineer (Early Career)

 

 

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our team developing next-generation phased array antennas for satellite communications. This is a hands-on role involving the design, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and testing of high-density electronics. Depending on your background and interests, you may work on RF, mixed-signal, digital, or power electronics, contributing to everything from antenna circuitry to control and interface boards. We have opportunities across multiple engineering teams and will match candidates with roles that best align with their skills and interests. You will work closely with experienced engineers across RF, systems, mechanical, and manufacturing disciplines, gaining exposure to the full product development cycle from initial design through production.

Design schematics and PCB layouts for RF, mixed-signal, digital, and power electronics, depending on areas of expertise.

Contribute to component selection and engineering design decisions, considering electrical performance, power consumption, thermal constraints, and cost.

Support PCB/PCBA fabrication, assembly, and bring-up, working with internal teams and external manufacturing partners.

Develop and execute test plans, using laboratory equipment to validate circuit performance, troubleshoot issues, and improve designs.

Collaborate with RF, systems, mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers to integrate electronics into complete antenna systems.

Support design verification, reliability testing, and the transition of products from prototype to production.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.

Master’s degree is a plus.

Experience designing and laying out high-density PCBs, including HDI technology and fine-pitch BGA components.

Familiarity with RF design principles, transmission lines, impedance matching, and RF PCB layout.

Experience with high-speed digital interfaces, signal integrity, or power management circuitry.

Hands-on experience testing RF systems, active antenna modules, or phased arrays.

Familiarity with PCB manufacturing, DFM/DFT, and transitioning electronics from prototype to production.

Experience with GNSS/INS systems, including antennas and associated electronics.

Experience developing electronics for high-reliability applications, including aerospace, aviation, or automotive systems.

Final compensation package will include a competitive base salary, meaningful company stock options, and a comprehensive package of cash and non-cash benefits. The final package will be tailored to the candidate’s experience, impact, and role scope.
