Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or a related field
  • 2+ years of communication systems analysis and design
  • 2+ years RF system design
  • 2+ years space-based electronics design
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages, including C++, C, python, or MATLAB
  • Expert Altium user
  • Enthusiastic attitude towards individual and teamwork and collaborating with geographically diverse offices
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to articulate complex concepts and technical information clearly and concisely

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of electronics design to include analog, digital, power supply and RF circuits
  • Experience with prototype build and test
  • Experience in RF test and measurement (i.e. Spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, network analyzer)
  • Expert FPGA development experience
  • Strong signal processing skills
  • Experience detecting objects in space with RF sensors
  • Experience with motor controllers
  • Preference for advanced degree with research experience
  • Experience working and collaborating in a fast-paced, small team environment.
  • Thorough understanding of the impacts of the space environment on electronics desired

Don't fulfill all the qualifications listed above? If you still feel like you might be a good fit, please feel free to APPLY ANYWAY. We believe in a well-rounded team, and this sometimes means that someone with out-of-context knowledge can contribute just as well as someone with very explicit alignment with our capabilities needs stated.

Our positions are based in Reston, Virginia, with much of our team operating in a hybrid or remote fashion. Our preference is for candidates in or around this area (or willing to relocate) as we scale our facilities and engineering team to provide more opportunities to work and collaborate in-person.
