Senior Electrical Engineer

122k – 255kLos Angeles, CAHardware EngineeringOnsite5+ YOE
Summary

Senior Electrical Engineer designing high-speed digital and mixed-signal systems for satellite ground infrastructure. Requires 5-7+ years in electrical design with expertise in FPGAs, high-speed interfaces, and multilayer PCBs.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Drive electrical design for high speed digital communication systems
  • Implement RF and mixed-signal designs in complex, multilayer PCBs
  • Work with 100G high speed networking, complex digital power trees, and drive system trades for architecture decisions
  • Perform schematic capture, layout, and bring-up on a variety of different digital systems including FPGAs, microcontrollers, and their associated peripherals
  • Collaborate across hardware and software teams with RF engineers, antenna engineers, FPGA engineers, and firmware engineers to optimize system performance and overall design
  • Test prototypes and assess performance in the lab and in the field
  • Work with production teams to make testable and manufacturable products that can be integrated in-house

Requirements

  • 5-7+ years of professional experience in electrical design
  • Proficient in high-density/high-speed design (including FPGAs, high speed data converters, SerDes, 10/100 GigE, networking, JESD204C)
  • Proficient in schematic capture and good PCB layout design
  • Experience with troubleshooting EMI/EMC, either conducted or radiated
  • Knowledge of PCB materials and developing board stack-up definition
  • Familiarity with soldering and hot air rework methods
  • Experience with full product lifecycle (concept through production)

Preferred Skills

  • 5+ years of experience designing high-speed mixed-signal electronics and complex multilayer PCBs for FPGA- or processor-based systems
  • Strong expertise in high-speed interfaces and networking technologies such as multi-gigabit SerDes, DDR, JESD204B/C, and 10/100G Ethernet
  • Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, PCB stack-up definition, and high-performance board layout practices
  • Proven experience leading hardware development from architecture and prototype bring-up through validation, manufacturing, and production ramp
  • Hands-on experience debugging complex hardware systems using advanced lab instrumentation and driving root-cause analysis across board and system levels
  • Ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts, mentor junior engineers, and make sound engineering tradeoffs in fast-paced development environments

Compensation and Benefits

  • Electrical Engineer/Level 3: $122,400 - $153,000 per year
  • Electrical Engineer/Level 4: $144,000 - $180,000 per year
  • Electrical Engineer/Level 5: $180,000 - $225,000 per year
  • Electrical Engineer/Level 6: $204,000 - $255,000 per year
  • Base salary is one part of total rewards; may also be eligible for equity, performance bonuses
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Short- and long-term disability insurance, life insurance
  • Paid parental leave, generous paid time off, and various other perks and discounts
