Hardware Development Engineer

The Hardware Development Engineer position at Redwire Space Components, LLC in Marlborough, MA provides an opportunity to work with a team designing space‑qualified hardware for satellite sensors and cameras.

• Learn applicable product technology, architecture, and design requirements for space‑based sensor systems
• Collaborate with the larger product team to effectively produce optimal hardware designs for the space environment
• Analyze and document design specifications, design verification plans and reports, parts stress analysis, worst‑case analysis including radiation effects, and failure modes and effects analysis
• Work with the software team to bring up and debug PCB, FPGA, and system‑level designs. Maintain hardware throughout the development cycle
• Design and support build of any special test equipment needed including interface adapters, cables, and associated commercial test support equipment
• Conduct design verification stress testing to validate analysis and design margins. Evaluate any non‑compliance and develop solutions to bring the product into compliance
• Develop novel system design approaches to mitigate radiation hazards to improve sensor availability or extend mission life
• Support product release cycles, including manufacturing and test

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with two or more years of relevant design experience. MSEE is a plus
• Experience designing embedded electronics, including analog circuitry (amplifiers, filters, ADC/DAC interfaces, power sequencing) and digital hardware (microcontrollers, memory, mixed‑signal components)
• Experience with common digital communication interfaces such as UART, SPI/QSPI, I2C, Ethernet, USB, or MIPI
• Hands‑on experience with building test circuits, using power supplies, oscilloscopes, and other lab test equipment in a manual or automated test environment
• Experience using schematic and PCB design tools (Altium is preferred)
• Exposure to the hardware development lifecycle including requirements, design, implementation, and verification
• Ability to obtain a DoD Security Clearance
• Some limited travel may be required

• Familiar with analysis such as reliability, worst‑case, parts stress/derating, or thermal analysis
• Experience with isolated and non‑isolated DC/DC power supplies, voltage/current monitoring techniques, and protection circuitry
• Excellent oral and written communication skills that enable effective collaboration, status reporting, and documenting analysis and results
• Knowledge of professional engineering tools including version control (Git), SPICE, synthesis/simulation tools, or signal integrity analysis
• Proficient with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, for documentation, analysis, and presentation of engineering work
• Interest in learning about radiation effects in space‑based electronics (TID, SEE, TNID) and designing for the space environment
• Exposure to EMC considerations (MIL‑STD‑461 RE/CE/RS/CS) or ESD‑robust design
• Driven to advance your career by learning, acting on feedback, and putting in the effort to get the job done

Salary range: $92K/yr - $135K/yr.
