Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
The Staff Satellite Electrical Engineerfor Mixed Signal Circuits willparticipate in all aspects of the development and test of avionics hardware for E-Space satellites. The ideal candidate has 10+ years of experience in electrical hardware design including schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
This position will report to the Director of Electrical Engineering and will work closely with the Electrical, Software, and Systems Engineering teams. The successful candidate will be based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own mixed signal PCBA development from clean sheet to flight.
  • Develop PCBA requirements, architectures, and con-ops in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
  • Schematic capture and PCB layout of complex power, digital, and analog circuit PCBAs using Altium Designer.
  • Circuit analysis including power, signal integrity, SWaP, tolerance, and reliability related.
  • PCBA design verification testing, qualification testing, and system integration testing.
  • Lead design reviews for inter-disciplinary audiences.
  • Manufacturing and flight support as needed.

What you bring to this role:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 10+ years of experience in power, digital, and analog electronics design including schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
  • Design proficiency with voltage regulators, FPGAs, SoCs, high speed data interfaces, precision analog instrumentation, clocking, etc.
  • Skilled at schematic capture and layout of complex PCBs.
  • Skilled at performing circuit simulations and analysis in spice, excel, and other tools for analog behavior, signal integrity, size/mass, power, etc.
  • Proficiency with basic electronic lab equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal generators, soldering iron, etc.
  • Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment.

Bonus points for the following:

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Experience designing for space environments including radiation impacts and mitigation.
  • Familiarity with Altium Designer
  • RF and transmission line design and simulation skills.
  • Experience designing rigid-flex PCBs and general electro-mechanical design familiarity.
  • FPGA design skills.
  • Scripting skills in Python, Tcl, etc.

Additional Requirements

    This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
