Electrical Engineer (Early Career)

Responsibilities

• Drive electrical design for high-speed digital communication systems, implementing RF and mixed-signal designs in complex, multilayer PCBs.
• Work with 100G high-speed networking, intricate digital power trees, and lead system trades to inform architecture decisions.
• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, and bring-up/validation on diverse digital systems including FPGAs, microcontrollers, and associated peripherals.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, software, RF, antenna, FPGA, and firmware engineers to optimize system performance and design integration.
• Test prototypes rigorously in the lab and field to assess and improve performance.
• Partner with production teams to develop testable, manufacturable products for efficient in-house integration and scaling.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 0-4+ years of professional experience in electrical design (internships, co-ops, and project experience qualify).

Preferred Skills

• Proficiency in high-density/high-speed PCB design, including FPGAs, high-speed data converters, SerDes, 10/100 GigE networking, and JESD204C interfaces.
• Strong experience with schematic capture tools and best practices in PCB layout for signal integrity and power distribution.
• Hands-on troubleshooting of EMI/EMC issues (conducted or radiated).
• Knowledge of PCB materials selection and board stack-up definition for high-performance applications.
• Familiarity with soldering, hot air rework, and prototype assembly techniques.
• Experience across the full product lifecycle, from concept through production ramp-up.
• Strong collaborative skills, enthusiasm for solving complex engineering challenges, and passion for advancing space communications technology.
