Requirements
• Education: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field. • Experience: At least 5+ years of professional experience developing electronics for demanding environments with a demonstrated background working on space electronics or similar high-reliability systems (e.g., aerospace, defense). • Strong fundamentals in analog and digital electronics are required. • Proven experience is needed with schematic design, PCB layout, and board bring-up processes. • A solid understanding of space-specific constraints such as radiation tolerance, EMI/EMC concerns, thermal behavior, reliability issues including derating analysis, worst-case scenario assessment (FMECA), interface electronics for sensors, actuators, RF or avionics subsystems is required. • Experience taking hardware from concept through testing and qualification phases with EMI/EMC design, compliance experience specifically tailored to space hardware requirements are preferred but not mandatory (A PLUS).
Responsibilities
• We are seeking a Senior / Lead Electronics Engineer to design, build, and qualify electronics for our VLEO space mission. You will take technical ownership of electronics development across the full lifecycle — from early concept and architecture through design, test, qualification, and flight readiness — ensuring the success of our upcoming satellite missions. • You will work closely with systems, mechanical, propulsion, software, and AIT teams, and play a key role in setting technical direction and best practices for electronics development. Prior experience leading or mentoring engineers is highly valued. • Own end-to-end development of space-qualified electronics, from requirements and architecture to flight hardware. • Design, prototype, and review analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics and PCB layouts. • Lead schematic capture, component selection, PCB design, and design-for-manufacturing/test. • Define and execute test, validation, and qualification plans for space electronics (functional, environmental, and reliability testing). • Ensure designs meet space requirements including radiation tolerance, EMI/EMC, reliability, and derating. • Collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, software, and AIT teams to integrate electronics into satellite subsystems. • Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and guidance of junior engineers. • Contribute to process improvement, technical standards, and architectural decisions across the electronics domain.
Benefits
• Pioneering Space Technology – You'll contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space. Your work on our revolutionary ion propulsion system and ULEO satellite platform will redefine satellite operations and disrupt traditional LEO operations. • Unmatched Ownership and Impact – You'll experience a level of ownership that's rare in the space industry. You will participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology. • Equity and Competitive Salary – You'll receive not just a competitive salary but also company ownership stakes. Your dedication and hard work are rewarded with a share in the technology you help build, ensuring you're a part of our collective success. • Comprehensive Benefits Package – Including private health insurance with dental and optical coverage, annual healthcare check-ups etc. • Hybrid Work - A hybrid setup with one dedicated remote day per week. • We provide a relocation package and sponsor your visa if you’re joining us from abroad.
