Electrical & Computer Engineer

About the Role

Join a small team in the defense and space technology sector as its first dedicated electrical engineer. You will prepare a satellite flight computer for its mission and contribute to the design of onboard GPU computing systems for in-orbit AI inference.

What You'll Do

• Design and own the satellite flight computer, with delivery readiness as the primary focus during your first 90 days.

• Build, bring up, and debug hardware hands-on in the Los Angeles lab alongside engineering leadership.

• Work with manufacturing partners to develop electronics and compute systems for a full-scale satellite.

• Shape high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and evaluate photonics and optical interconnects.

• Write firmware and platform software for the payload as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Experience ranging from new graduate to 15 years in electrical or computer engineering.

• A degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

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

• Knowledge of high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and power integrity.

• Experience in a high-growth startup or a zero-to-one environment, in addition to any aerospace prime or government contracting experience.

• Relevant skills may include GPU, accelerator, SoC, or ASIC hardware; space or radiation-tolerant systems; ODM collaboration; embedded C/C++, Linux, and Python; or photonics and optical networking.
