Senior Hardware Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are hiring a Senior Hardware Electrical Engineer to own the design of electrical systems and PCBAs for mass-produced consumer devices. You will design complex mixed-signal circuits for tight spaces, dense layouts, low power use, and good thermal performance. You will work closely with industrial designers, mechanical engineers, RF specialists, and battery teams. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who designs boards, debugs them at the bench, and takes them through production. You take responsibility for the outcome, make decisions with limited information, and make sure the product ships. 

Your mission

Build electrical systems that are compact, reliable, and low power. Take each design from architecture to mass production on time, on spec. Improve first-pass yield, reduce cost, and keep power and thermal margins strong. You make decisions fast, and realign trifunctional teams, and you instill it in every design review. Build a culture that gets hardware out the door and into customers' hands. 

What you will own

• PCBA development. Own complete PCBA and electrical system development from architecture through mass production. 

• Schematic and layout. Design schematic capture and high-density PCB layouts in Altium Designer. Optimize minimal space and thermal efficiency. 

• Power architecture. Develop the power architecture, run power analysis, and reduce power consumption in resource-constrained devices. 

• Circuit analysis. Analyze signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal behavior using SPICE and CAD tools. 

• Component selection. Choose parts for performance, power efficiency, reliability, and cost at mass production volume. 

• Test and verification. Develop test strategies. Run design verification, qualification, and production tests. 

• Cross-functional integration. Lead design reviews. Work with product, mechanical, industrial design, RF, and battery teams on system integration. 

• Bring-up and debug. Debug PCBA signals, power, and bring-up issues. Feed findings back into design iterations quickly. 

• Manufacturing support. Support cost reduction, yield improvement, and efficient mass production. 

• Measurable results. Own clear, tracked targets for each board. Improve first-pass yield and reduce rework. Meet power budgets and battery life targets. Pass EMC and qualification tests on the first attempt where possible. Reduce bill-of-materials cost per unit

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 

• Experience designing consumer electronics products. 

• Hands-on experience with PCB design, schematic capture, and board bring-up in Altium Designer. 

• Strong expertise in power management, low-power design, and thermal analysis. 

• Experience with circuit simulation (SPICE) and mixed-signal design, both analog and digital. 

• Proficiency with electrical test equipment and test planning for product validation. 

• Experience working with industrial designers and mechanical engineers on form factor integration. 

• Strong structured problem-solving skills, including root-cause analysis of board-level failures. 

A plus but not required

Low-power and battery-powered mobile device design, rigid, flex, and rigid-flex PCB experience, RF circuit design and antenna integration, experience with IoT, wearables, phones, or compact consumer electronics, and experience bringing consumer products to mass production. 

What success looks like

Your boards pass qualifications and ship on schedule. Yield and cost improve with each build. Your engineers design better boards with less rework. Problems surface early, and fixes hold in production.
