Avionics Design Engineer

The role

You will architect, build, and field high-bandwidth flight processing units and avionics for a LEO satellite constellation. You will own flight hardware across its entire lifecycle from initial architecture to flight-ready hardware.

What you will do

• Architect and design flight avionics, high-speed processing boards, and payload digital systems
• Conduct Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, Worst-Case Circuit Analysis, and Parts Stress/Derating analysis
• Partner with Flight Software, RF, Mechanical, and Thermal engineering teams
• Collaborate with Contract Manufacturers for DFM/DFA reviews, PCBA assembly oversight, and rapid prototyping
• Perform hands-on lab troubleshooting
• Generate technical drawings, specifications, test procedures, and reports
• Lead board-level and system-level environmental testing

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in digital electrical design and hardware analysis
• Experience designing with high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., DDR4/DDR5, 1G/10G Ethernet, PCIe) and standard communication buses (CAN, RS-422/RS-485, SPI, I2C)
• 3+ years of hands-on experience using Signal and Power Integrity modeling tools (e.g., Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx)
• Advanced design experience with professional schematic capture and PCB layout tools
• Track record with Worst-Case Analysis (WCCA), parts stress evaluation, and derating
• Proficiency with lab diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies)
• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident

Nice to have

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or STEM field
• Experience designing high-density FPGA or SoC processing systems for space or aerospace applications
• Familiarity with industry space derating and design standards (e.g., EEE-INST-002, ECSS-Q-ST-30-11C, IPC-2221)
• Hands-on experience with circuit simulation software (LTSpice, SIMetrix/SIMPLIS)
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC/ESD design mitigations and testing protocols for space flight hardware
• Scripting and test automation skills using Python or MATLAB
• Ability and willingness to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Top Secret Security Clearance

Benefits

• Relocation support available

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident due to export control regulations (ITAR/EAR)
• Offers will be contingent on the candidate's ability to access export-controlled information under U.S. law
