About the role
Why LeoLabs? At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions. We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations. If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here. As a Sr. Staff Electrical Engineer, you will design and develop the electronics that power our next-generation radar systems. You will own complex board-level hardware from concept through production, working across mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics to deliver reliable, high-performance systems. This is a hands-on role for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and building hardware that moves quickly from the lab into the field. This position is based in the Colorado Springs area and requires regular onsite collaboration with government stakeholders. You will work closely with LeoLabs' RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to develop and integrate advanced radar hardware. You will be responsible for: Design and develop complex PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware Own board-level hardware from
requirements and schematic capture through layout, bring-up, validation, and production Design mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics for demanding operating environments Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, root-cause analysis, and electrical validation in the laboratory Work closely with RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to integrate complete hardware systems Collaborate with government stakeholders and internal engineering teams to support program execution Support prototype builds, design reviews, and manufacturing transition activities Develop engineering tools, test software, and automation using Python where appropriate Contribute to continuous improvement of electrical design practices and engineering documentation
