Lead Electrical Engineer
Who We're Looking For
You’ll join a team that has already proven what others said wasn’t feasible and is now scaling and upgrading our VLEO buses & payloads to serve mission sets across sensing, communications, and responsive operations.
Technical Lead for Power and Analog Electrical Engineering
Own electrical architecture across programs (EPS, bus regulation, battery management, isolated supplies, analog signal chains, and board- and box-level electrical design)
Set EE technical direction alongside engineering management
Drive the next generation of what our electronics can do
Lead through architecture, design review, and mentoring
Delegating the day-to-day design work to other engineers
Leading hands-on design work as time allows
What You'll Be Doing
Advance hardware to increase satellite longevity
Scale production for large constellations
Build next-gen flight and ground software to push performance
Enable missions that matter for national security and our day-to-day life here on earth
What You'll Need
10+ years of electrical-engineering experience
BSEE required (MSEE preferred)
Extensive end-to-end hardware-design experience: multiple designs taken from concept through production
Deep power and analog expertise: DC/DC (buck / boost / flyback), battery management, bus regulation, isolated supplies, analog signal-chain and mixed-signal design; first-principles thermal, transient, and efficiency analysis
High-voltage DC power design, including isolation, protection, and creepage/clearance discipline
Solid grasp of digital architecture: enough to partner on the electrical interfaces and mixed-signal boundaries to FPGA / avionics and flight software
Schematic capture AND PCB layout on complex multi-layer designs, plus a working command of signal integrity and power integrity (controlled impedance, return paths, stackup, decoupling), and the judgment to review others' designs
EMI/EMC understanding: design for electromagnetic compatibility, grounding, shielding, filtering, and control of conducted/radiated emissions
Strong lab / hands-on skills: power measurement, standard bench instruments, board bring-up and debug
Track record of setting technical direction and mentoring other engineers
Holds designs to the standard and gates reviews before release
A working understanding of the space environment and what radiation does to ICs (TID and single-event effects / SEE: SEU / SEL / SET) and how that drives part selection, derating, and design margin
Experience flying COTS parts in space: using commercial parts in the radiation environment safely (rad-tolerance by design, upscreening / lot testing, architecture-level mitigation) instead of defaulting to expensive rad-hard, and knowing when a rad-hard part is genuinely required
Space / avionics rigor: parts derating and stress analysis, reliability, design margin for flight electronics
Works cross-functionally with FPGA / avionics, flight software, mechanical / thermal, and systems teams
Supports proposals when needed: EE/power architecture concepts, power budgets, compliance-matrix input, and rough BOM/cost for new-business responses
A push-the-envelope mindset: always looking for new, cheaper, faster, more-reliable ways to build exquisite capability at a fraction of the cost
