Principal Satellite Electrical Engineer – Digital Circuits

What you’ll be doing:

• Own digital PCBA development from blank sheet to flight.
• Develop PCBA requirements, architectures, and con-ops in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
• Schematic capture and PCB layout of complex high speed digital processing PCBAs using Altium Designer.
• Circuit analysis and simulations including signal integrity, timing, SWaP, tolerance, and reliability.
• PCBA design verification testing and system integration testing.
• Manufacturing and flight support as needed.

What you bring to this role:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
