Electrical & Computer Engineer

About the Role

Join a small, growing team in the space and defense sector as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will lead development of a satellite flight computer and help design 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 alongside engineering leadership.

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

• Guide high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and evaluate 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 at least one year at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or experience in a zero-to-one environment.

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

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

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

• Experience with GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, photonics, optical interconnects, networking, or contract manufacturers is valuable.

• Space, satellite, or radiation-hardened hardware experience is beneficial, as is experience alongside aerospace or government contracting work.

• U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Compensation & Benefits

Annual base salary: $120,000 to $220,000.
