Electrical & Computer Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small team as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will own the flight computer for a satellite mission and help develop GPU compute electronics for AI inference in orbit.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design and own the satellite flight computer, with delivery as the primary focus during your first 90 days.
• Build prototypes, bring up hardware, and debug systems in the Los Angeles lab alongside engineering leadership.
• Work with manufacturing partners to develop electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.
• Shape high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and evaluate photonics and optical interconnects.
• Write firmware and platform software for payload systems as needed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Between 0 and 15 years of electrical or computer engineering experience, including at least one year at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or experience in a zero-to-one environment.
• End-to-end custom board or system-board design experience, including schematics, high-speed PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging.
• Knowledge of high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and power integrity.
• A degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with chip-level systems such as GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, or large ASICs is valuable, as is experience with space hardware, satellites, or radiation-hardened systems.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or original design manufacturers is helpful. Firmware, embedded C/C++, Linux, and Python experience is also relevant.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States as a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder. Visa sponsorship is not available.
