  • Proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • Experience designing space-environment electronics (LEO/GEO/deep space): radiation, thermal, vibration, fault tolerance.
  • Ability to define spacecraft avionics architectures and develop system budgets.
  • Hands-on experience with radiation testing.
  • Familiarity with embedded software and firmware integration.
  • Deep expertise in at least one domain:
    • High-speed digital: FPGAs, processors, memory, high-speed buses
    • Power electronics: converters, load switches
    • RF electronics: mixers, oscillators, PAs
    • Mixed-signal electronics: ADC/DACs, sensors, analog front-ends
  • Skill with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice.
  • Experience designing fault-tolerant avionics for mission-critical operation.
Core Responsibilities
  • Design and develop avionics units in one or more of the following areas:
    • Flight computers, data handling, and payload interfaces
    • Power converters and power distribution
    • Attitude-determination sensors and imaging systems
    • Radio communication systems
    • High-power microwave amplifiers
  • Perform PCB schematic capture and layout, and lead technical reviews of electronics designs.
  • -Develop and execute test plans for space-qualification (Thermal, vibration, thermal, radiation, EMC/EMI). Mil-Std 883E or 1540 OR Nasa STD-7002
  • Prior work on DoD or U.S. Government programs a plus. DOD Secret a plus

Education & Experience
  • BS in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
