Stanford, United States ArrayLabs, LLC 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.

    • 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
