TL;DR · Senior Satellite Hardware Development Engineer

The Sr. Satellite Hardware Development Engineer joins the Gateway team to lead the design workstream for innovative gateway systems providing low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity. This role involves owning the ground gateway gigabit data rate modem design from concept through production. Key responsibilities include designing and optimizing electronics sub-systems, designing digital circuitry for various protocols, and leading schematic capture and PCB layout. The engineer will optimize PCB stack-ups for performance and cost, complete board bring-up, and perform test campaigns for modules and subsystems while supporting production transitions with contract manufacturers. Required technical skills include proficiency with Mentor Graphics Xpedition, Cadence OrCad, or Altium Designer, and experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-meters. Expertise in high-speed SERDES, mixed-signal PCBA design, and high data rate modems is essential.

What you'll do

  • Own the ground gateway gigabit data rate modem design from concept through production.
  • Design and optimize various blocks of electronics sub-systems.
  • Design digital circuitry supporting various protocols in collaboration with internal teams.
  • Lead and review schematic capture and PCB layout processes.
  • Optimize PCB stack-up for specific performance and cost requirements.
  • Complete board bring-up and perform test campaigns for different modules and subsystems.
  • Support the transition of hardware designs to production with the contract manufacturer.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of hardware engineering experience.
  • 5+ years of experience using schematic tools like Mentor Graphics Xpedition, Cadence OrCad, or Altium Designer.
  • 4+ years of experience using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-meters.
  • 3+ years of industry experience in high speed (SERDES, etc.) and/or mixed signal PCBA design.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or experience designing digital communication systems (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
