Senior Hardware Engineer

Location: Chandler, AZ
Schedule: Onsite 5 Days a Week

Build the Hardware Powering the Future of Satellite Communications

We're looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer to join a highly technical engineering team developing the next generation of satellite modem technology
. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced hardware engineer who enjoys taking complex designs from concept through testing, bring-up, and production.

You’ll play a key role in designing and developing advanced hardware for satellite communication products, working closely with FPGA, RF, software, and systems engineers to bring innovative solutions to life.

• Design, develop, and document next-generation hardware for satellite modems and related products

• Develop FPGA-based satellite modem designs integrated on PCBs

• Own key aspects of the hardware development lifecycle, including:

  • Component selection

  • Schematic design and PCB layout

  • Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis

  • Board bring-up, testing, and debugging

• Work with high-speed digital interfaces, memory, clocks, power distribution, and communications hardware

• Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and multidisciplinary teams to solve complex technical challenges

• Help drive designs from initial concept through successful testing and implementation

• Communicate technical concepts clearly across engineering and cross-functional teams

• 5+ years of hardware design experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline

• Strong experience designing communications systems and digital hardware

• Hands-on experience with:

  • FPGAs and circuit design

  • Microprocessors

  • DDR/LPDDR, Flash, SPI NOR, and eMMC memory

  • PLLs, clock distribution, and fanout buffers

  • Differential and single-ended signaling and termination techniques

  • Power Distribution Network (PDN) design and analysis

  • Ethernet PHY and switch chips

  • SERDES interfaces

  • ADCs and DACs

• Experience with laboratory equipment including:

  • Oscilloscopes

  • Spectrum analyzers

  • Vector network analyzers

  • Logic analyzers

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with experience working in multidisciplinary, cross-functional, and matrixed engineering organizations

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio

• Working knowledge of SATCOM waveforms and satellite communications

• Experience with
  RF/L-band design and PCB layout

• Hands-on soldering and hardware rework experience

• Experience mentoring engineers or taking on technical leadership responsibilities

• An active DoD clearance or the ability to obtain one

This is more than a traditional hardware design role. You’ll have the opportunity to work on mission-critical satellite communication technology
, tackle challenging high-speed hardware problems, and see your designs move from the engineering bench into real-world applications.

If you’re a hands-on hardware engineer who loves solving difficult technical problems and wants to work on cutting-edge SATCOM technology
, we’d love to hear from you.
