EE Hardware Design Engineer

We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.

The hardware engineering team at Array Labs 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.

In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world.

As a lead engineer, you will own the design of hardware solutions that will be integrated into satellites and cutting-edge ground infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with our antenna, RF, communications and radar engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.
