Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital)

As a Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital), your core responsibility will be to own architecture, design, and bringup of custom digital circuit boards for software defined radios. You will work with RF engineers, RF software engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to meet test needs across a wide range of capabilities. You will work on uplink and downlink software defined radios utilizing FPGAs, memory interfaces, high speed digital peripherals, and analog to digital converters. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all aspects of spacecraft electronics development, from architecting new systems to building and operating them. 

Responsibilities

• Design and bring up high speed digital systems supporting software defined radios 
• Contribute to new spacecraft RF architecture trades 
• Develop circuit boards (schematic and layout) for spacecraft, with an emphasis on digital electronics 
• Perform rigorous analyses and simulations of digital devices and systems 
• Perform development testing of hardware in the lab, from single digital designs to entire RF systems 
• Derive digital hardware design requirements from system-level specifications 
• Own hardware through qualification and flight operations 
• Establish and maintain high technical standards and mentor less experienced engineers 
• Improve existing products throughout their lifecycle by troubleshooting issues, performing failure analysis of parts and systems, and implementing improvements 

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field 
• 5+ years professional experience designing digital electronics 
• Proficiency with electronics component selection, analysis, simulation, schematics, and layout 
• Knowledge of digital circuit design concepts including signal integrity, timing, etc. 
• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals 
• Experience troubleshooting electronics problems at the board level or system level 
• Ability to communicate technical challenges, explain rationale, and resolve concerns 
• Familiarity with high speed digital simulation software, such as Hyperlynx, Sigrity, SiWave, ADS, or similar
