You will work closely with other engineers to achieve overall system requirements and integrate these systems into our spacecraft.

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.
  • 1-6 years of experience.
  • Deep knowledge of fundamental RF concepts, such as RF circuit analysis, noise, linearity, radio architectures, etc.
  • Hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing RF hardware for microwave frequencies.
  • Experience with RF simulation tools (ADS, Cadence, HFSS, etc).
  • US Citizenship or Green Card.
Bonus
  • MS or PhD in electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, or equivalent.
  • Experience with PCB design, layout, and simulation (Altium or similar).
  • Experience with system in package (SiP), multi-chip modules (MCM), packaged RF hybrids, etc.
  • Experience developing communications satellite payloads.
  • Experience designing SSPAs or implementing SSPA-based phased arrays.
  • Experience with designing high-reliability electronics for harsh environments such as space or automotive.
  • Antennas and Electromagnetics propagation knowledge and background.
  • Experience with Software Defined Radios and associated skillset (mixed signal, high-speed digital).
  • Familiarity with Python or other scripting languages used for automating test instruments.
What We Offer

Astranis offers a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits. Our pay ranges are informed and defined through professional-grade salary surveys and compensation data sources.
