About the Role
Join a small team as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will prepare a satellite flight computer for a mission and help develop GPU compute electronics for AI inference in orbit.
What You'll Do
Design and own the flight computer for a satellite mission, with this as the primary focus during your first 90 days.
Build and debug hardware through hands-on breadboarding and lab bring-up.
Work with manufacturing partners to design electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.
Evaluate high-speed interconnects, including NVLink and SerDes, as well as photonics and optical interconnects.
Write firmware and platform software for the payload as needed.
What We're Looking For
Experience ranging from new graduate to 15 years in electrical or computer engineering.
A degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
End-to-end custom board or system-board design experience, including schematics, high-speed PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging.
Knowledge of high-speed digital design and signal and power integrity fundamentals.
Experience in a high-growth startup or a zero-to-one environment, alongside any aerospace, government, or defense-sector experience.
Familiarity with GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, space or satellite hardware, radiation-hardened systems, contract manufacturers, or ODMs is valuable.
Relevant tools and technologies include schematic capture, PCB layout, signal and power integrity analysis, embedded C/C++, firmware, Linux, and Python.
