Key Responsibilities
  • Design, simulate, implement, and measure active and passive RF sub-systems at microwave frequencies.
  • Be responsible for hardware designs from requirements definition through manufacturing, bring-up, and qualification testing.
  • Integrate these systems into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team.
  • Specify, procure, and integrate third-party vendor hardware.
  • Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly growing team.
Requirements
  • BS in electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, or equivalent.
  • Passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development.
  • 6+ years of experience.
  • Deep knowledge of fundamental RF concepts, such as RF circuit analysis, amplifier design, noise, linearity, radio architectures, etc.
  • Hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing RF hardware for microwave frequencies.
  • Proven completion of product from concept to production.
  • Experience with RF simulation tools (ADS, Cadence, HFSS, etc).
  • Experience with PCB design, layout, and simulation (Altium or similar).
What We Offer

Astranis offers a compensation package that includes equity, robust benefits, and bonuses. Our base pay is a single component of our total rewards package, which may also include equity in the form of incentive stock options, performance bonuses, high-quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance benefits, flexible PTO, 401(K) retirement, and free on-site catered meals.

The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will be influenced by a variety of factors, including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, and the level and scope of the position.

Base Salary $150,000—$205,000 USD.
