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.Responsibilities:Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturingWork closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronicsCreate requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturingLead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaignsRapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testingBasic Qualifications:B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related fieldExperience in electronics design, fabrication, and test Excellent teamwork and communication skillsLearns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed mannerHigh levels of self-motivation and personal accountabilityAbility to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraintsPreferred Skills and Experience:Bachelor's or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related field4+ 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 measurementSolid background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as s-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matchingHands-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 ORCADExperience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniquesExpertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurementExpertise in EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boardsExperience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTSPICE, ADS and Microwave OfficeExperience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or pythonHands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzersITAR Requirements:To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of StateEqual Opportunity EmployerArray Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
