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 areseekinga highly skilledPrincipal ElectricalEngineerIto lead the design development integration test and flight qualification of advanced spaceborne payloads.
Thispostfocuses on the roleof Unit Lead (Responsible Engineer)inour Reconfigurable Processing Unit(RPU) product line. CesiumAstro RPUs are complex VPX-based electronics boxes consisting of our software-defined radios single-board computers power supply modules and RF frontends driven by CesiumAstro modems and software.
The Unit Leadis responsible forbothtechnical definitionand executionof a new RPU product. This combines deep multi-disciplinary technicalaccountability with responsibility for on-time schedule execution. The project may include the development of new VPX moduleproducts new backplanes and interface options and/or new software features coming together into aqualified customer-ready product.
TheUnit Lead is the leader of the multidisciplinary technical team the primary point of contact for the program manager and often a key interface point for our customers. Success in this role requires strength in technical topics as well asproject management leadership and communication in a fast-paced startup environment.
