Electrical & Computer Engineer

About the Role

Join a small aerospace and defense engineering team as its first dedicated electrical engineer. You will prepare a satellite flight computer for deployment and contribute to the electronics and compute systems that support 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 with engineering leadership.

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

• Guide high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and assess photonics and optical interconnects.

• Develop firmware and platform software for payloads as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Between 0 and 15 years of electrical or computer engineering experience, with startup or zero-to-one product development 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.

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

• Experience with GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, or large ASICs is helpful, as is familiarity with photonics, optical interconnects, networking, or satellite and radiation-hardened hardware.

• Experience working with contract manufacturers or original design manufacturers is valued.

• Relevant tools and technologies include schematic capture, high-speed PCB design, embedded C/C++, firmware, Linux, and Python.
