Palo Alto CA, United States Array Labs Full time
Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.

The Hardware Engineering team at Array Labs is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station hardware platforms. These platforms tend to be a heterogenous mix of various subsystems like compute, memory, peripherals with high-speed interfaces, RF, sensing, power management, navigation, and controls. The focus areas of the Hardware Engineering Team can be split into Aerospace/Avionics, Electrical/Electronics (EE) and Communications/Radar engineering. The EE Hardware Design Engineer will work cross-functionally with Radar, RF, Comms, FPGA, GNC, and embedded software engineers to provide our Computing, Communications, and Radar sensing Hardware platforms that will be integrated into a constellation of satellites and in ground infrastructure to support Array Labs' mission objectives.

Responsibilities:
  • Own the design of complex electrical/electronic platforms all the way from initial architecture to final manufacturing. This includes requirements capture, system trade-offs, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, manufacturing, and test
  • Responsible for any electrical and power accommodations including EMI/EMC evaluation for hosting sensitive compute, RF, communications, and sensing payloads
  • Rapid iteration prototyping and joint hardware/firmware development; partnering with software engineers to bring-up and test new hardware designs
  • Implement data-driven hardware design improvements by analyzing data collected during testing (electrical, vibration, thermal, radiation) and on orbit
  • Execute reviews of hardware design documentation, schematics, and test plans
>

Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
  • 11+ years of electrical engineering work experience in consumer electronics, power electronics, robotics, aerospace, automotive, and/or communications fields
  • Familiarity with hardware engineering principles including requirements gathering, architecture/design, source control management, build processes, reviews, and testing methods.
  • Solid understanding of high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques.
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills
  • Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
  • High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
  • Experience with Schematic Capture and Board Layout using ECAD tools (Altium Designer, Allegro, ORCAD etc)
>

Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
  • 6+ years of experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, PCIE, RF-sampling ADCS/DACs (or RF transceiver modules), and power supply components
  • 2+ years of experience in the full life cycle development (concept to production) of new hardware products
  • Expertise in one or more of the following areas preferred: Signal Integrity, Thermal and/or EM simulations of board designs
  • Hands-on experience designing heterogeneous computing platforms with various compute engines such as SoCs, FPGAs, GPUs, and MCUs interacting with a wide variety of peripherals and storage media (flash, DDR, SSDs, SD cards) over different high-speed serial and parallel interfaces
  • Experience with high-speed transceivers (ADCs, DACs, mixed-signal modules) over JESD204 interfaces preferred
  • Bonus points for having experience in designing daughter cards or base-boards with Xilinx/Intel FPGAs
  • Proficient with design techniques to maintain signal integrity in high-density, high-speed designs
  • Experience with RF and split analog/digital designs
  • Experience with low-noise design and minimization of EMI/EMC
  • Experience with complex board designs, such as high-speed interconnects, high-reliability designs, avionics, vehicle control systems, and/or motor & actuator control electronics
  • Bonus points for experience in the development and test of satellite bus systems and space/flight hardware
  • Experience with compliance testing or various regulatory requirements.
  • Experience in silicon (on-chip) and package power delivery network principles
  • Experience using simulation tools such as ANSYS, CST, HFSS, Hspice, ADS, Hyperlynx, etc.
  • Experience using one or more analog simulation tools such as Cadence (Spectre), OrCAD, PSPICE, LTspice, etc.
  • Experience using Network Analyzers, oscilloscopes and probing techniques
>

ITAR Requirements:
  • To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
