TL;DR · Aerospace HW Dev Engineer, Antenna Payload Validation

As an Aerospace HW Dev Engineer, Antenna Payload Validation, you will join the hardware development team to design, build, and validate hardware for phased array antennas in a satellite constellation. Your daily responsibilities include designing circuits and boards for antenna subsystems, performing schematic capture, and conducting PCB layout reviews. You will bring up new prototypes in the lab, debugging power, clocking, and RF signal problems while characterizing performance using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power meters, and signal generators. You will write test plans, use Linux-based tools and scripts to operate the phased array, and analyze test results to find root causes of failures. This role requires expertise in analog, digital, and RF circuits, as well as proficiency with tools like Altium, Cadence, KiCad, Python, and MATLAB.

What you'll do

  • Design circuits and boards for antenna subsystems, including schematic capture and PCB layout review.
  • Perform board bring-up and debug power, clocking, and digital or RF signal problems in the lab.
  • Characterize hardware performance using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators.
  • Write test plans and execute validation testing to confirm designs meet performance requirements.
  • Use Linux-based tools and scripts to command and operate phased arrays during integration and testing.
  • Analyze test results to identify root causes of failures and drive necessary design fixes.
  • Investigate hardware failures identified by production teams during the manufacturing test process.
  • Document all designs, test procedures, and validation results.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience designing or debugging analog, digital, power, or RF circuits through coursework, internships, projects, or industry work.
  • Experience with schematic capture or PCB design tools such as Altium, Cadence, or KiCad.
  • Experience using electronics or RF test equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power meters, or signal generators.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (preferred).
  • Experience with board bring-up and hardware validation (preferred).
  • Experience with RF or mixed-signal design, or with RF/EM simulation tools like ADS, HFSS, or CST (preferred).
  • Export Control Requirement.
