Controls Engineer, Optical Inter-Satellite Link

What you'll do

• Analyze flight telemetry data to identify discrepancies and characterize on-orbit behavior.
• Maintain simulation environments to validate model fidelity against observed flight data.
• Develop test vectors to verify PAT FPGA implementations against Simulink reference models.
• Perform MIL, SIL, and HIL verification for PAT control loops and state machines.
• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for production failures and board-level electrical issues.
• Execute trade studies for data converter selection and signal chain architecture.
• Perform hardware characterization and troubleshooting for analog and mixed-signal circuits.
• Document test procedures, results, and configuration management records for the engineering team.

What we're looking for

• Must possess a BS degree in electrical engineering or an equivalent field.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
• Must have professional experience in hardware-adjacent controls, test, or systems engineering roles.
• Must be proficient in MATLAB and Simulink for running models, interpreting results, and debugging.
• Must have experience with control system fundamentals including feedback loops, transfer functions, and stability concepts.
• Must have experience analyzing test or flight data to identify trends, anomalies, and correlations.
• Must be able to read schematics and understand digital/analog signal interfaces.
• Must have experience using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators.
