  We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
  E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Develop PCBA requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines, based on system level requirements
• Design complex high-speed digital/analogue circuit boards from datasheet to completion
• Design power supplies
• Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium
• Perform circuit analysis including power, tolerance, and reliability related
• Perform all aspects of bring-up, including lower level driver coding
• Perform design verification testing and system integration testing
• Liaise closely with other internal teams such as Systems, Software, RF, Production etc.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THIS ROLE:

• Excited to be a part of a multi-disciplined and multi-geographical team
• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 10+ years of experience in electronics hardware design including analysis, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing
• Experience in the selection of components for your own designs, which consider not only the design specification, but also environmental impact, cost, EOL, lead time, etc.
• Low level power supply design experience using simulation (such as LTspice), and knowledge of power managers and monitoring devices
• Experience designing complex clocking and timing solutions, including jitter and phase noise measurements
• Design experience with complex microprocessor/DSP devices – working from earlier silicon
• Design experience and analysis of on-board high speed data buses (e.g.: PCIe, Serdes, SATA)
• Design experience with low/medium speed data buses (e.g.: I2C, SPI, LVDS, PECL, RS422, LAN etc.)
• Experience with the schematic capture and layout of complex PCBs using Altium
• Proficiency performing circuit analysisusing simulation tools (e.g.: SPICE)
• Both comfortable and willing to use test equipment such as Scopes, DSOs, DMMs, Soldering Iron, ENV chamber, etc.
• Experience with testing regimes that ensuretest coverage is maximized
• Experience with circuit calibration and characterization over extremes of operating envelope
• Experience with thermal design techniques
• Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment
• Experience with the full V-Model design cycle, from requirement capture through design verification
