Job Description
Please Note:To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations the applicant must be a U.S. citizen lawful permanent resident of the U.S. conditional resident asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
AtCesiumAstro we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites UAVs launch vehicles and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment which allows us to learn develop and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on interactive and autonomous work CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate collaborative energetic and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.
We are looking to add aSenior Electronics Engineer IIto our Digital/Mixed-Signal Electronics team. If you enjoy working in a startup environment and are passionate about developing leading-edge electronics for satellites spacecraft and aerospace systems we would like to hear from you.
At the Senior II level you will be tasked with full-stack hardware development for complex modules and small systems. You will have the opportunity to start at concept development and progress through detailed design analysis layout build test and delivery doing hands-on work at each phase. The Senior II level also introduces technical leadership opportunities gaining responsibility for small teams of hardware engineers developing new products and systems.
At a small company and a startup your work will make direct contributions to the success of the business. The work is challenging and impactful requiring both breadth and depth of technical knowledge. Our products are made for high-reliability space and airborne applications so designs require high levels of technical rigor while maintaining the agility of a startup environment.
The successful candidate will also present engineering design review materials to our customers and executive team. As such excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own end-to-end design of complex electronics modules and small systems from concept and architecture through schematic layout test and production.
- This role focuses on digital and mixed-signal hardware development for space applications. Product lines include state-of-the-art software-defined radios (SDRs) single-board computers (SBCs) and control & telemetry subsystems for complex phased array antenna payloads.
- Lead small teams of hardware engineers to develop new products with multiple electronics modules.
- Develop hardware architecture and write hardware requirements for systems of moderate complexity.
- Perform detailed and complete schematic design for complex boards ranging from key components to supporting passives.
- Perform detailed PCB layout in Altium Designer for complex boards often working with a PCB Designer.
- Complete board-level and box-level analysis such as worst-case circuit analysis signal integrity analysis and power integrity analysis and guide interpretation of results.
- Develop bring-up plans and design verification plans for new hardware and systems.
- Perform bring-up and key verification testing of modules and small integrated systems often working with a technician to complete validation.
- Release modules and assemblies to production working with the Manufacturing and Test Engineering teams.
- Mentor junior and senior engineers to build technical understanding and professional development.
- Use working knowledge of adjacent fields such as software and mechanical to streamline development of electronics modules and systems.
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor of Science (BS) degree or higher in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
- Minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in board-level electronics design analysis and test.
- Significant experience designing electronics with rigor in teams that value thorough analysis and testing. Aerospace design experience preferred but not required.
- Expertise in aspects of digital and mixed-signal electronics such as signal integrity implementing FPGAs on boards ADCs/DACs and telemetry subsystems. Experience with high-speed digital (e.g. 10 Gbps SerDes) and SDR applications are preferred but not required.
- Experience owning the design phase of complex board-level electronics including trade studies key part selection and detailed design.
- Experience delivering hardware designs through production and deployment.
- Expertise in PCB layout including high-density interconnect (HDI) stackup design and high-speed routing.
- Experience running board-level signal integrity and/or power integrity simulation tools such as Ansys SIwave ADS SIPro or Mentor Hyperlynx.
- Proven success in debugging root cause analysis and design reviews.
- Strong working knowledge of adjacent fields such as software and mechanical that guides hardware design and system design.
- Expert-level proficiency in electronics design tools such as Altium.
- Extensive lab experience for bring-up and verification of new hardware.
- Excellent written and spoken communication skills.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- 8 years of professional electronics design experience.
- Experience leading small teams of hardware engineers to develop multi-module assemblies including hardware architecture requirements make/buy decisions and interconnects.
- Expertise in high-speed digital electronics (e.g. 10 Gbps SerDes) including signal integrity simulation and lab verification SerDes optimization (e.g. emphasis and drive level) and high-speed interconnect solutions.
- Expertise in software-defined radio (SDR) applications.
- Direct experience designing high-reliability electronics for space or defense applications including part derating worst-case analysis and thermal constraints.
- Design for space radiation environments.
