Staff Electrical Design Engineer

Staff Electrical Design Engineer

Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.

We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most.

As a Staff Electrical Design Engineer, you will design and validate the digital and mixed-signal electronics that support Array's radar payloads and satellite platforms. Your work will include high-speed digital interfaces, precision clocking and timing distribution, power regulation and control circuits, system monitoring and telemetry hardware, and fault-tolerant satellite avionics. You will take hardware through design, prototyping, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, mechanical, and systems engineers.

The hardware you develop will directly affect system performance, power efficiency, stability, and overall reliability on orbit.

Responsibilities:

• Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturing
• Work closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronics
• Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturing
• Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns
• Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testing
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, risk reduction planning, and mentorship of early-career engineers

Basic Qualifications:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 7-14 years of relevant experience
• Experience in electronics design, bring-up, and test
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills
• Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
• High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints

Preferred

Skills and Experience:

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, or a related field
• Hands-on experience with full-life cycle hardware development (concept to production) in consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics
• Background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, fabrication considerations, layout constraints, component selection, and measurement
• Background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as S-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matching
• Hands-on experience designing high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD
  204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
• Proficiency with schematic capture and design using CAD tools such as Altium Designer (preferred); experience with Allegro and/or OrCAD is a plus
• Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques
• Experience with signal and power integrity simulation and measurement
• Experience with EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boards
• Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTspice, ADS, and/or Microwave Office
• Experience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or Python
• Hands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers
