Job description
About the Role
Join a small team as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will own the flight computer for a satellite mission and help develop GPU compute electronics for AI inference in orbit.
What You'll Do
Design and own the satellite flight computer, with delivery as the primary focus during your first 90 days.
Build prototypes, bring up hardware, and debug systems in the Los Angeles lab alongside engineering leadership.
Work with manufacturing partners to develop electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.
Shape high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and evaluate photonics and optical interconnects.
Write firmware and platform software for payload systems as needed.
What We're Looking For
Between 0 and 15 years of electrical or computer engineering experience, including at least one year at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or experience in a zero-to-one environment.
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, signal integrity, and power integrity.
A degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Experience with chip-level systems such as GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, or large ASICs is valuable, as is experience with space hardware, satellites, or radiation-hardened systems.
Experience working with contract manufacturers or original design manufacturers is helpful. Firmware, embedded C/C++, Linux, and Python experience is also relevant.
Must be authorized to work in the United States as a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $120,000 to $220,000 annually.
Location
On-site, five days per week in Los Angeles, California.
