Company mission

To provide high-quality 3D imagery on a global scale.

Role

Who you are

  • 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
  • Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques
  • 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

Desirable

  • 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
  • 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

What the job involves

  • 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
  • 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

Application process

  • We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish

Our take

3D imaging is a growing market important to a wide array of industries, including climate action, defence, and insurance analytics. However, data supply chains from the satellites that provide this imaging to the people processing it are slow and expensive. Array Labs is developing innovative satellite imaging that can be delivered to its users almost in real-time.

Array Labs has taken part in two reputable accelerators since it was founded in 2021, and is attracting investors thanks to its plans to create a multifunctional 3D imaging satellite constellation above the Earth. Whilst this idea has been in play for decades, it is only recently that the dataset technology has caught up with the concept, and Array Labs is paving the way.

There’s still much work to be done to realise Array's ultimate vision, but it has got off to a promising start and has good funding at its back. Taking on the work ahead of it will rely heavily on partnerships with preexisting satellite companies.
