About the role
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the development of high-reliability electronics for our interceptor prototypes and future VLEO satellites. You will own everything from board-level design to power systems, sensor integration, EMI/EMC, and flight hardware integration. Expect to work directly with founders, integrate components, run tests, and ship hardware that flies and intercepts targets.
If you’re excited by high-stakes engineering, rapid prototyping, and pushing physics boundaries, we are going to get along great!
What You’ll Do
Electrical Design & Prototyping
- Design, simulate, and develop PCBs for sensing, actuation, power, and avionics.
- Own schematic capture, layout, DFM, component selection, and vendor interaction.
- Develop high-reliability power systems (DC–DC, battery systems, protection circuits, transient management).
Sensor and Actuator Solutions
- Integrate IR cameras, Radar, IMUs, GNSS, rad-hard components, and electromechanical actuators.
- Develop signal-conditioning circuits, sensor fusion interfaces, and low-latency sensing+actuation to enable the autopilot to control the vehicle.
Flight Hardware & Harsh-Environment Design
- Perform thermal, vibration, and shock analysis for >100km altitude environments.
- Support hardware qualification: TVAC, vibe, EMI/EMC, and high-G ground testing.
Embedded & System Integration
- Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers on microcontroller architectures, drivers, and electrical-firmware interfaces.
- Bring-up, debug, test, and iterate hardware in the lab using scopes, logic analyzers, DAQs, etc.
