Electrical & Computer Engineer

About the Role

Join a small aerospace team as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will lead development of a satellite flight computer and contribute to GPU compute electronics for in-orbit AI inference.

What You'll Do

• Design and own the flight computer for an upcoming satellite mission.

• Build prototypes, bring up hardware, and debug systems in the Los Angeles lab.

• Work with manufacturing partners on electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.

• Evaluate high-speed interconnects, including NVLink and SerDes, as well as photonics and optical interconnects.

• Develop firmware and platform software for payload systems when needed.

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience, with 0 to 15 years of relevant experience.

• End-to-end custom board or system-board design experience, including schematics, high-speed PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging.

• Experience with high-speed digital design and signal- and power-integrity fundamentals.

• Startup or other 0-to-1 environment experience, in addition to any aerospace prime or government contractor background.

• Helpful experience includes GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, photonics, optical interconnects, networking, contract manufacturers or ODMs, and space, satellite, or radiation-hardened hardware.

• Working knowledge of relevant tools and technologies such as schematic capture, signal and power integrity analysis, embedded C/C++, Linux, and Python.
