We are looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to support the development of the electrical and communication interface of Kepler’s satellite payload; a communication router between multiple communication protocols including Optical, Ku-band, and S-band.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop hardware solutions to support Kepler’s space technology that requires the utilization of leading technology and practices.
Support design reviews for active designs to minimize design gaps.
Conduct and document engineering analysis including derating, reliability, radiation, EMI/EMC, FMECA, and power budgets.
Support pathfinding development for future satellite generations that will utilize new technology and interfaces including UFS, 10G+ Ethernet, PCIE5, various other high-speed interfaces, new memory technology, and processors.
Maintain technical documentation that captures design decisions, design specifications, block diagrams, interface requirements, and system architecture reports.
Develop full product solutions by working closely with other cross-functional engineering teams including RF, mechanical, software, and FPGA.
Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
3+ years of experience designing, developing, and validating complex electronic hardware systems from concept through production, with demonstrated ownership of technical deliverables and successful design execution.
Proven ability to lead hardware development efforts from concept definition through schematic design, PCB layout oversight, integration, verification, and design validation testing.
Proven experience integrating processors, FPGAs, and SoCs into high-performance embedded systems, including successful implementation and debugging of high-speed digital interfaces.
Ability to design and validate mixed-signal circuitry incorporating ADCs, DACs, sensors, and precision analog signal chains while meeting performance requirements such as noise, accuracy, and dynamic range.
Experience designing memory subsystems utilizing technologies such as QSPI, eMMC, DDR3/DDR4, UFS, or similar, including interface bring-up, timing validation, and performance characterization.
