All.

Space is transforming satellite communications with next‑generation smart terminal technology.

The Hardware Engineering Lead is responsible for leading the design, development, and validation of hardware subsystems from concept through production while managing the day‑to‑day operations of the hardware engineering team. This role combines technical leadership and people management to ensure that hardware designs meet subsystem‑level specifications, are fully validated, and are delivered on time and within budget. The Lead acts as both project technical owner and functional manager, driving technical excellence, design discipline, and team development.

1. Technical Project Leadership

• Serve as the technical lead and primary point of contact for hardware subsystem and system‑level projects.
• Define technical requirements, specifications, and performance targets in coordination with systems engineering.
• Ensure all hardware designs meet or exceed subsystem‑level specifications for performance, reliability, and compliance.
• Lead formal Critical Design Reviews (CDR) and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR) for each hardware subsystem to verify design maturity and readiness for validation testing.
• Plan and manage technical execution, resource allocation, and project milestones.
• Identify and mitigate technical and program risks throughout the product lifecycle.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to ensure cohesive integration.

2. Hardware Design & Validation

• Oversee schematic design, PCB layout, and component selection activities.
• Guide hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system integration efforts.
• Review and approve design documentation, analysis, and verification reports.
• Develop and oversee subsystem‑level test and validation plans.
• Ensure completion of TRRs prior to major verification or qualification testing.
• Support certification, regulatory compliance, and environmental qualification (e.g., EMI/EMC, thermal, vibration).

3. Team & People Management

• Manage the hardware engineering team, including staffing, workload planning, and performance management.
• Conduct regular one‑on‑ones, performance reviews, and career development discussions.
• Recruit, onboard, and train new hardware engineers and technicians.
• Provide mentoring and technical guidance to support professional growth and skill development.
• Foster a collaborative, accountable, and high‑performance engineering culture.
• Ensure effective communication, task prioritization,…
