Sr/Staff/Principal Board Design Engineer

Array Labs is building a satellite constellation to create the first accurate, real-time 3D map of the world.

As a board design engineer, you will own the layout, manufacture and bring-up of radar, communications and compute hardware for cutting-edge satellites and ground infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with our antenna, RF, and electrical engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

Responsibilities:

• Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturing
• Work closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronics
• Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturing
• Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns.
• Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testing

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience in board design and layout
• Experience in electronics manufacture, bring-up, and test
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills
• Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
• High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Bachelor in electrical engineering, or a related field
• 4+ years of electrical engineering work experience with full-life cycle development (concept to production) of consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics
• Background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, PCB fabrication, floorplanning, component selection, placement and routing, simulation and measurement
• Hands-on experience laying out high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
• Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurement
• Hands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers

ITAR Requirements:

• To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

2) pay them uncommonly well

You can anticipate competitive pay, with high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation.

Why you should join Array Labs

Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high-resolution, real-time, three-dimensional model of Earth. Our next-generation satellite technology will offer image quality 60x greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.

In forging an affordable, accessible, accurate representation of Earth, our work has the potential to transform the face of dozens of fields, including autonomy, telecommunications, disaster relief, gaming, climate science, defense and construction.
