Electrical & Computer Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

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

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design and own the flight computer for a satellite mission, with this as the primary focus during your first 90 days.
• Build and debug hardware through hands-on breadboarding and lab bring-up.
• Work with manufacturing partners to design electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.
• Evaluate high-speed interconnects, including NVLink and SerDes, as well as photonics and optical interconnects.
• Write firmware and platform software for the payload as needed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Experience ranging from new graduate to 15 years in electrical or computer engineering.
• A degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 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 and signal and power integrity fundamentals.
• Experience in a high-growth startup or a zero-to-one environment, alongside any aerospace, government, or defense-sector experience.
• Familiarity with GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, space or satellite hardware, radiation-hardened systems, contract manufacturers, or ODMs is valuable.
• Relevant tools and technologies include schematic capture, PCB layout, signal and power integrity analysis, embedded C/C++, firmware, Linux, and Python.
