Board Design Engineer

Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We’re launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision‑making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission‑critical geopolitical intelligence. We design and build our satellites end‑to‑end, producing the world’s most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they’re needed most. About the Job As a Board Design Engineer , you will design, lay out, and validate the printed circuit assemblies that power Array’s radar payloads and on‑orbit processing systems. Your work will span high‑density digital and mixed‑signal designs, power regulation modules, RF‑interfaces, and compute hardware operating under the constraints of small satellite platforms. You will take boards from schematic through layout, manufacturing, bring‑up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, digital, mechanical, and systems engineers. The boards you develop will directly influence Array’s signal integrity, processing throughput, thermal behavior, and overall radar system capability. As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet. 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 Experience in board design and layout Experience in electronics manufacture, bring‑up, 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 in electrical engineering, or a related field 4+ years of electrical engineering work experience with full‑life cycle development (concept to production) of consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or robotics 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 Hands‑on experience laying out high‑performance platforms including compute (SoCs, FPGAs, MCUs), storage (DDR, SSDs), high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, SPI, JESD204B), RF components (PAs, LNAs, switches) Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation and measurement 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.
