Job Description:

Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D map of the world. The Hardware Engineering team at Array Labs is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station hardware platforms. These platforms are a heterogeneous mix of subsystems like RF, power management, compute, memory, high-speed peripherals, navigation and controls. As a lead engineer, you will own the design of hardware platforms for radar, communications and compute that will be integrated into satellites and cutting-edge ground infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with our antenna, RF, communications and radar engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.Responsibilities:

• Develop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturing
• Work closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronics
• Create requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturing
• Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaigns.
• Rapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testing Basic Qualifications:
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in electronics design, fabrication, and test
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills
  • Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
  • High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints Preferred Skills and Experience:
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering, or a related field
    • 4+ years of proven electrical engineering work experience with full-life cycle development (concept to production) of product development for consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics
    • Solid background in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, PCB fabrication, floorplanning, component selection, placement and routing, simulation and measurement
    • Solid background in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as s-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matching
    • Hands-on experience designing high-performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches)
    • Proficiency with schematic capture and layout using CAD tools such as Altium Designer, Allegro, and ORCAD
    • Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques
    • Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurement
    • Expertise in EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boards
    • Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTSPICE, ADS and Microwave Office
    • Experience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or python
    • Hands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers ITAR Requirements:
      • To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
