As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in building the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.
We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.
As a Board Design Engineer, you will design, lay out, and validate the printed circuit assemblies that power Array’s radar payloads and on-orbit processing systems. Your work will span high-density digital and mixed-signal designs, power regulation modules, RF-interfaces, and compute hardware operating under the constraints of small satellite platforms. You will take boards from schematic through layout, manufacturing, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, digital, mechanical, and systems engineers. The boards you develop will directly influence Array’s signal integrity, processing throughput, thermal behavior, and overall radar system capability.
- 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
- Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testing
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns
- Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturing
