About the Company
At AstroForge, our mission is to make space resources accessible on Earth. We mine asteroids to extract valuable minerals in space at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint than current terrestrial mining methods. We offer a unique opportunity to join an exciting team looking to expand humanity’s capabilities in space.
Job Description:
As an Electrical Engineer at AstroForge, you'll drive innovation by designing cutting-edge avionics systems and PCBs for our spacecraft. Your role will involve avionics, system, and PCB design, component selection, testing, and collaboration. You'll need expertise in power subsystems, high-speed board design, and aerospace practices, including designing for space.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop avionic subsystems, including board design, system design, and avionics subsystem design.
- Create schematic layouts and select components for spacecraft electronic systems.
- Design and layout printed circuit boards (PCBs) for optimal performance and functionality.
- Conduct testing and analysis of electronic systems to ensure reliability and functionality.
- Apply thermal and mechanical knowledge to optimize system performance in space environments.
- Design power subsystems, including power conversion, DC/DC, and battery systems.
- Execute high-speed board design techniques and demonstrate proficiency in PCB layout.
- Handle complex PCB designs with a large number of components.
- Understand avionic subsystem connectivity and protocols such as RS422, I2C, Ethernet, and CAN.
- Adhere to industry-standard protocols and practices for aerospace design.
