Satellite Electrical Engineer

Satellite Electrical EngineerScout Space is building a new way to see and operate in space: with a new paradigm of data empowering every satellite to make space safer. We are a rapidly-growing team; we are deploying real solutions to orbit over the next 2 years; and our work will transform the face of spaceflight. We are looking for people that bring excitement and energy to our organization, are curious and eager to learn, and want to help drive our programs forward.As a Satellite Electrical Engineer, you will focus on design, development, and integration of electronics for use in spaceborne and high-reliability environments.ResponsibilitiesHelp to lead avionics architectural decisions and identify individual electronic componentsSupport hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation in lab environmentsSupport environmental payload testing, and write associated test casesDefine connector and cable harnessing for space environmentsSupport the design of digital and analog/mixed-signal electrical circuitsCollaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and systems teams to ensure cohesive hardware solutions, as well as with external stakeholdersRequired QualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field3–5 years of relevant experience in electrical designFamiliarity with avionics systems design and testing strategies, particularly those compliant with NASA MIL standardsFamiliarity with signal integrity, power distribution, and EMI/EMC best practices, especially in a space environmentFamiliarity with designing robust grounding schemes (and strong understanding of grounding optimization tactics)Experience designing harness drawingsExperience writing test procedures for both board and assembly level testsStrong debugging skills using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers)Working knowledge of hardware development for harsh environments (radiation tolerance, thermal constraints)Familiarity with board-level electrical design, schematic capture, and layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD)Eligible to hold a security clearancePreferred Qualification6-8 years of relevant experience in electrical designFamiliarity with monitoring and reporting environmental testing for electronic assemblies (such as EMI/EMC, TVAC, etc)Strong proficiency with board-level electrical design, schematic capture, and layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD)Proficiency with high speed and mixed signal simulation tools (such as Ansys, HyperLynx, etc)Experience designing optical, radio frequency (RF), and/or high power avionicsExperience with VHDL or Verilog and FPGA development toolchains (e.g., Vivado, Quartus, Libero)Experience integrating FPGA systems with embedded processors, sensors, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, LVDS, SpaceWire, Ethernet)BenefitsOpen Time OffPaid Parental LeaveMedical, Dental, Vision Insurance401k MatchingHealth Savings Account, Flexible Spending Accounts, Dependent Care FSAWellness StipendWork From Home StipendLife InsuranceLong-term Disability plansCommuter BenefitEducation ReimbursementDon't fulfill all the qualifications listed above?
