Job Details

As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you will play a critical role in delivering state-of-the-art hardware focused on radio payloads that will be integrated into satellites. You will be part of the hardware team responsible for development projects from concept to production, collaborating with cross-functional teams and ensuring that all hardware solutions meet performance, quality, and reliability standards. This position will involve close collaboration with a cross-functional team of hardware, software, and mechanical engineers to ensure product reliability from design through manufacturing and operational use in space.

Key Responsibilities:

Hardware Design: Lead the architecture, design, and development of electronic hardware systems, including PCBs, embedded systems, RF transmitters, receivers, and analog/digital circuits.

Project Leadership: Manage and guide hardware engineering projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within scope, and meet design specifications.

Prototyping & Testing: Oversee the development of prototypes, perform hands-on testing and validation of designs, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Collaboration: Work closely with software, mechanical, and firmware engineering teams to integrate hardware with other system components.

Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve issues with hardware designs, including failures, inefficiencies, or non-compliance with specifications.

Documentation: Prepare detailed design documentation, specifications, and test plans for hardware components and systems.

Vendor Management: Collaborate with external vendors and manufacturing teams to ensure quality control and on-time delivery of components.

Basic Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.

Experience with PCB schematic and layout tools (Altium experience highly preferred)

Experience in PCB design and layout of high-frequency RF components such as transmission lines, co-planar waveguides, Wireless SoCs, matching networks, LNAs, mixers, power amplifiers, etc.

Strong understanding of RF design principles, including impedance matching, signal integrity, power amplifiers, mixers, filters, and oscillators.

Experience in the design and layout of embedded board-level designs, such as microcontrollers, SoCs, power management, sensors, and I/O devices.

Experience in digital or mixed-signal design principles, including designs using processors, FPGAs, operational amplifiers, and filters.

Hands-on experience in bring-up, tuning, debugging, and testing (especially RF systems) using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, VNAs, Spectrum Analyzer, and Signal Generators.

Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role

Strongly Desired:

Experience in the design of RF systems for space or aerospace applications.

Experience with solar cells, battery charging circuits

Familiarity with regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., FCC, CE).

Embedded C, and C++ familiarity and development experience with ARM microcontrollers or similar platforms.

Experience working with drivers for various communication protocols (especially USB, SPI, I2C, and UART) and system-level integration.

Experience with wireless IoT (Internet of Things) network protocols (BLE, Zigbee, etc.)
