Key job responsibilities

We are looking for an engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. You will work with a team of top-notch engineers and will collaborate with multiple spacecraft design, integration, test, and operations teams. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.

Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun, and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people.

Key responsibilities include:

- Design PCBAs including schematic capture and layout.

- Develop and lead bring up, design validation, reliability, and qualification testing.

- Develop and lead production acceptance test plan development.

- Participate in design reviews for subsystems within the broader team.

- Support debug efforts for your subsystem as well as other avionics subsystems.

- Support requirement derivation and traceability for hardware subsystems.

- Support production and integration efforts for hardware subsystems.

- Supporting on-orbit operation and troubleshooting of avionics bus subsystems.

If this sounds like the role for you, come make history with us!

A day in the life

You will lead a variety of tasks for your hardware subsystem, from board design, to board bring-up, design validation, and integration. You will work with a cross functional team to perform design validation and qualification testing for your subsystem. As your subsystem continues onto satellite level test and operations, you will be the subject matter expert that interfaces with the vehicle integration & test and operations teams from test planning through launch and on orbit operations.

As an experienced member of the team, you will be responsible for evaluating hardware health telemetry across test and operations while also developing processes to troubleshoot and to incorporate design improvements for issues discovered.

About the team

Our team is responsible for delivering hardware subsystems for the flight computer, power delivery, and RF systems on the satellite avionics bus. Our team supports hardware subsystems development from initial design through testing, integration, verification, and operation on-orbit.
