We’re looking for an experienced Hardware Design Engineer to join our team and play a key role in the development of advanced satellite telecommunication payloads. This is a chance to work at the cutting edge of space technology, contributing to innovative solutions for high-reliability applications in orbit.
Responsibilities:
* Collaborate within a multi-disciplinary engineering team to develop FPGA/ASIC-based GEO satellite payloads
* Lead hardware development throughout the full product lifecycle—from specification and design through to testing and validation
* Undertake detailed circuit design including schematic capture, component selection, and electronic simulation
* Produce engineering analysis and documentation (Derating, Worst Case, Reliability, Radiation, EMI/EMC Analysis, FMECA, Power Budget)
* Support hardware/software/system integration, test, validation, and qualification
* Direct in-house and third-party PCB layout design teams
* Deliver both prototype and production-quality manufacturing packages
Experience
* Strong commercial experience in hardware product design within the space industry
* Expertise in high-speed digital design and SerDes interconnects
* Strong understanding of LEO/GEO communications payloads
* Proven experience designing complex, high-speed circuits on high-density, multi-layer (10+) PCBs
* Proficiency with circuit and PCB design/simulation tools
* Specialist knowledge in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:
* High-reliability design and analysis (Space, Military, Automotive, etc.)
* RF design and validation
* Radiation effects on electronic circuitry and mitigation techniques
* DC/DC power supply design
* Environmental, thermal, safety, and EMI/EMC standards
* Practical use of scripting languages (Tcl, Python, Perl, etc.)
