  • 5+ years of professional experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal design principles
  • Electrical engineering, digital, analog, and RF circuit fundamentals and lab experience
  • Previous experience using RF-related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or similar technical degree
  • 7+ years of board-level experience designing hardware from concept through production; strong emphasis on full life cycle development of new hardware systems
  • 7+ years of experience with designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using operational amplifiers, filters, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, power supply components, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, Ethernet, SPI, FPGAs, ASICs, and processors
  • 7+ years of experience with designing both linear and non-linear circuits using phased-locked loops, vector modulators/demodulators, oscillators, mixers, filters, multipliers, synthesizers, low-noise and/or power amplifiers
  • 7+ years of professional experience in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, amplifiers, power supply components, and design, analog testing/troubleshooting techniques, and signal integrity, layout, and grounding principles
  • 7+ years of professional experience with fast-paced projects
  • Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques, and modulation types such as QPSK and QAM
  • Experience characterizing radio performance in microwave frequencies
  • Strong understanding of computers and programming languages (C/C++, Python)
  • Passion for advancing the commercial space industry and human spaceflight
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding startup atmosphere
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
