Electronics Design Engineer

  • Location: Herndon, Virginia
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8144
  • Salary: NON 175,000

Electronics Design Engineer

Location: Northern Virginia (Washington DC metro), on-site
Type: Permanent, full time
Base salary $150,000 – $175,000 plus equity (stock options) and full benefits
Eligibility: Must be a US Person

The Company

A venture-backed space company building the first fully commercial satellite navigation service, a complete alternative to legacy GPS designed from a clean sheet.

Positioning underpins almost everything in modern life, yet the incumbent system is slow to fix, unencrypted, and trivially jammed or spoofed. That is not good enough for the applications coming next: autonomous vehicles, drone logistics, urban air mobility, augmented reality, and safety-critical government timing. This business exists to fix it, delivering higher accuracy, dramatically faster time to first fix, and genuine anti-jam and anti-spoof protection.

The architecture spans a constellation of small satellites, a global ground station network, and next generation receiver technology. The GNSS hardware, software and services market sits at roughly $260 billion a year, and the company intends to take a serious share of it.

The Role

This is the primary board seat on the payload. You will own the hardware at the centre of the flight system, from architecture and schematic through to first power-on, and you will stay with it through integration, production and the next generation design.

The company is upfront that this is more than a board design job. They are looking for someone who wants to become the technical anchor of the payload hardware team as it scales, starting with oversight of one junior engineer and growing from there.

What you will be doing

  • Owning board-level design and bring-up of the payload primary board, covering architecture, schematic capture, component selection and first power-on debug
  • Directing the layout, assembly and test work carried out by external layout partners, assembly technicians and the payload test team
  • Holding responsibility for how the multi-board payload behaves as an integrated system, working hand in hand with the RF lead on the amplifier board
  • Designing the payload precision timing and frequency reference chain, including the low-noise board partitioning needed to hit timing stability requirements
  • Sustaining and revising the current payload hardware while defining the architecture for the next generation
  • Producing designs that are genuinely manufacturable and testable at production cadence, not just first articles that work on the bench
  • Supporting anomaly investigation and driving design iteration off the back of it

What you will need

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline (MS preferred)
  • 10+ years designing complex mixed-signal and RF-adjacent boards for space, aerospace or other high reliability applications, covering clock and timing distribution, low-noise power, high-speed digital and analogue or RF interfaces, with real rigour on signal and power integrity
  • Proven end to end ownership of primary or otherwise complex PCBs, from schematic and detailed design through fabrication, bring-up and functional test. You should be comfortable walking through prior designs and explaining the decisions behind them in a hands-on interview exercise
  • Experience owning the integrated performance of a multi-board electronic system, not only individual boards
  • An electrical engineer first, with enough understanding of the FPGA, firmware and software running on your boards to work effectively across that boundary
  • Design for manufacture and design for test experience at production volume
  • Ready to step into technical leadership of the payload hardware team, including mentoring a junior engineer in the near term
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Self-directed and comfortable in a fast-paced startup with limited process
  • US Person status

Nice to have

  • GNSS, precision timing, or oscillator and clock distribution hardware experience
  • Familiarity with SoC and FPGA based payloads (Zynq or similar) and the board-level support they need
  • Enough hands-on PCB layout experience to set constraints, critically review routing, and get the best out of external layout, fab and assembly partners
  • Previous mentoring or hardware team leadership
  • Experience running multiple hardware generations in parallel while holding design and configuration discipline

The kind of person who does well here

Someone who genuinely enjoys the startup setting rather than tolerating it. Positive, straightforward communicator with a sense of humour. Thinks strategically but executes tactically. Comfortable working across every function in the business, not just engineering. Happy to roll sleeves up and get stuck into whatever the week demands.

Equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, creed, colour, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, disability, sex, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

The Role

This is an RF-led hardware seat. You will own the radio chain across the full PNT stack, from the transmit payload on orbit through to the ground station receive path and the next generation user receiver. Front ends, RFICs, antennas, filtering, link budgets, and the board-level electrical design that carries all of it.

The company wants someone whose instinct is RF but who is entirely comfortable owning the wider electrical design rather than throwing it over a fence. You will work directly alongside the Chief Engineer and the wider engineering group, turning proprietary satellite and RF technology into hardware that flies and hardware that ships.

This is an early engineering hire. The company is explicit that the path to manager and director level is open and short for the right person.

What you will be doing

  • Designing and developing RF front ends and signal chains for space payloads, ground stations and receiver hardware
  • Selecting and integrating RFICs, LNAs, PAs, mixers, synthesisers, filtering and antennas, then proving the performance in the lab
  • Owning RF performance analysis: link budgets, noise figure, gain and phase, spurious and harmonics, EVM, sensitivity and interference rejection
  • Designing analogue, RF and digital PCBs, including layout partitioning, grounding, shielding and controlled-impedance routing for high frequency work
  • Managing the boundary between the RF front end and the digital back end, including high-speed ADC and DAC interfacing and clocking
  • Defining the test approach and validating it through simulation, bench characterisation, hardware in the loop and field demonstration
  • Working with software defined radios and RF test equipment (VNAs, spectrum and signal analysers, signal generators) day to day
  • Supporting productisation as technology moves from prototype to a manufacturable product, including design for test and design for manufacture
  • Supporting the operations team on system commissioning, operations automation, and anomaly investigation and resolution
  • Working with engineering and commercial teams to pull out and pin down requirements

What you will need

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline (MS preferred)
  • 3 to 5 years designing RF hardware for GNSS, space, satcom or wireless communications
  • Demonstrable RF front end design experience, taking a signal chain from architecture through schematic, board and bring-up to measured performance
  • Solid analogue and digital PCB design capability alongside the RF work
  • Working understanding of RFICs, FPGAs, SoCs and antenna behaviour
  • Hands-on experience with software defined radios and RF test and measurement
  • Genuine strength in problem solving and the underlying maths and physics
  • Familiarity with newspace satellite and payload technology
  • Self-directed, comfortable operating without close supervision
  • Clear, confident written and verbal communication, and organised working habits
  • US Citizenship or Permanent Resident status
  • Willingness to travel up to 10%

Nice to have

  • GNSS-specific RF experience, whether payload transmit chains or receiver front ends
  • Experience with RF simulation and EM tools
  • Exposure to modern wireless standards (4G, 5G, WiFi, SATCOM, IoT)
  • Familiarity with mainstream SoC and FPGA toolchains and development environments
  • Space environment design experience: radiation, thermal vacuum, qualification and screening
  • Previous startup experience
  • Active US security clearance

Head of AIT

  • Location: Los Angeles County, California
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8135
  • Salary: NON 240,000

Location: Los Angeles, California

Compensation: Competitive base salary + package

Environment: Smallsat Design and Manufacturing

Build the Team. Build the Capability. Build the Future.

Our Client is entering an exciting new phase of growth in the United States, establishing a major new 100,000+ sq. ft. satellite manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.

This facility will provide the capability to assemble, integrate and test increasingly sophisticated spacecraft and will become a critical part of Our Client's global manufacturing operations.

But before satellites can roll through the facility, someone needs to help build the capability behind them.

We are looking for an experienced Head of Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) to do exactly that.

This is not an opportunity to inherit an established department.

You will build it.

The Opportunity

As Head of AI&T, you will take responsibility for establishing and leading the Assembly, Integration & Test capability within the new Los Angeles operation.

You'll help determine how spacecraft move through the facility, how they are assembled and integrated, what equipment and infrastructure are required, how cleanroom operations should function and how spacecraft are ultimately tested and prepared for delivery.

You'll also build the team around you.

Working closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, programme and operations teams, you will create an AI&T organisation capable of supporting the company's ambitious US growth plans.

What You'll Build & Lead

You will:

  • Establish the US AI&T organisation from the ground up, including processes, procedures, workflows and operating standards.
  • Recruit, develop and lead a high-performing team of AI&T engineers and technicians.
  • Define spacecraft assembly, integration and test processes from subsystem through full spacecraft level.
  • Establish cleanroom workflows, tooling, equipment and infrastructure requirements.
  • Lead spacecraft integration activities across mechanical, electrical, avionics, payload and subsystem interfaces.
  • Oversee functional testing and environmental qualification campaigns.
  • Support testing including TVAC, vibration, shock and EMI/EMC.
  • Establish manufacturing and test readiness processes and reviews.
  • Ensure AI&T activities meet programme requirements for quality, schedule, cost and safety.
  • Develop KPIs and operational metrics to measure performance, quality and throughput.
  • Work closely with engineering and programme leadership to identify and mitigate integration and test risks.
  • Coordinate with external suppliers and specialist test partners where required.
  • Drive continuous improvement as spacecraft volumes and complexity increase.
  • Ensure lessons learned from integration and test campaigns are fed back into engineering and manufacturing.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who has spent their career close to the hardware.

You'll understand what it takes to move a spacecraft from individual subsystems through assembly, integration, environmental testing and ultimately flight readiness.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • 8+ years' experience within spacecraft Assembly, Integration & Test or a closely related discipline.
  • Significant experience working within satellite or spacecraft manufacturing.
  • Leadership experience managing AI&T engineers and/or technicians.
  • Experience building, scaling or significantly improving an AI&T capability.
  • Strong understanding of spacecraft assembly and integration processes.
  • Hands-on knowledge of environmental testing, including thermal vacuum and vibration testing.
  • Experience working within cleanroom environments.
  • Understanding of high-reliability aerospace manufacturing and quality requirements.
  • Experience working across engineering, manufacturing, quality and programme organisations.
  • Strong programme, schedule, resource and risk-management capabilities.
  • Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or another relevant engineering discipline.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Many senior AI&T positions involve taking responsibility for an organisation, facility and processes that have existed for decades.

This one doesn't.

You'll join at the point where the decisions being made today will determine how spacecraft are assembled and tested in Los Angeles for years to come.

You'll influence the facility.

You'll select and develop the team.

You'll shape the processes.

You'll establish the culture.

And you'll ultimately see spacecraft move through an AI&T capability you helped create from the ground up.

For someone who has spent years building and testing spacecraft and has always thought, “I know how I'd build this if I had the opportunity” — this could be that opportunity.

Softgoods Technican

  • Location: Rockledge, Florida
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8119
  • Salary: NON 140,000

Softgoods Technician

Space Coast, Florida | Onsite, full time | US citizens only | 2+ years' hands-on experience

THE COMPANY

Our client builds expandable space habitats: structures that pack into a rocket fairing and deploy to many times their stowed volume in orbit, on the Moon and beyond. The pressure shell is fabric, which means the people who sew, weld and seal it are central to whether the vehicle flies. The company is backed by strategic investment from a listed industry partner, holds government funding against its lunar programme, and is targeting a habitat on the lunar surface in 2028. Nobody has done this before.

They are hiring two Softgoods Technicians to build flight hardware alongside a small, highly skilled team.

WHAT THE JOB REALLY IS

This is a sewing role first. You will spend your days on industrial sewing machines, including heavy duty long arm machines, working with large panels of specialised technical textile to tight tolerances against engineering drawings. If you are an exceptional sewer, most of the rest can be taught.

Beyond sewing, the role covers fabric welding, heat sealing, layup, hand finishing, assembly and general build support. You will work directly with engineering to improve how things get built, not just execute what you are handed.

They are looking for people who take ownership, spot problems and say so, and hold their nerve when the technical picture gets difficult. This is a small team and nobody fades into the background.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Sew large-scale softgoods assemblies on industrial machines, including heavy duty long arm machines, to engineering drawings and complex work instructions.
  • Operate fabric welders and heat sealers to produce consistent, flight-quality seams.
  • Perform hand sewing, finishing and detail work where the machine cannot go.
  • Handle, cut, pattern and prepare large panels of technical textile without damaging fragile material.
  • Run the pattern sewing machine (training provided, no prior programming experience needed).
  • Support spacecraft assembly and integration operations.
  • Work with engineering to improve build processes, repeatability and quality.
  • Maintain a clean, organised and controlled work area to aerospace standards.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • US citizenship.
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • 2+ years' hands-on professional sewing or fabrication experience on industrial machines, working with large panels of technical or load-bearing material.
  • Genuine skill at the machine. This is the qualification that matters most.
  • The ability to work to a drawing and hit a tolerance.
  • Attention to detail and pride in workmanship.

WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE COME FROM

The client is deliberately open on industry background. Strong routes in include:

  • Aerospace sewing. MLI blanket fabrication, spacesuit or pressure garment work, inflatable or expandable structures, parachutes and airbags.
  • Sailmaking. Load-bearing sail construction on large-format industrial machines. Panel geometry and material handling at scale translate very well.
  • Technical outdoor gear, marine canvas, or any high-specification cut-and-sew discipline.

The strongest candidates combine sailmaker-level sewing with an aerospace background. If you have both, we want to hear from you.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with expandable or inflatable structures.
  • Cleanroom or controlled-environment experience.
  • Working knowledge of technical textiles, laminates and coated fabrics.
  • Confidence with hand and power tools and calibrated measuring equipment.
  • Clear written and verbal communication.

PRACTICALITIES

  • Onsite in Brevard County, Florida. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with overtime and occasional weekends as the build demands.
  • Space Coast local strongly preferred. Relocation considered case by case.
  • Must pass an internal background check.
  • Physically active role: lifting, standing, bending, climbing, reaching and carrying. Must lift 50lbs unassisted.
  • Comfortable in a workshop environment with noise, fumes and odours.

Firmware Engineer

  • Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #8116
  • Salary: NON 150,000

Firmware Engineer

Location: Cambridge, MA (onsite, with field deployment opportunities)
Compensation: Targeting around $150,000, with flexibility for the right person.

Are you excited by the challenge of building embedded systems that operate in one of Earth's most extreme and least understood environments? This organization is developing next-generation autonomous underwater robotics that advance weather prediction, aquaculture, shipping, national security, and ocean science. Their vehicles are deployed and operating around the world today, from the Caribbean to open ocean. They're seeking a Firmware Engineer to help push the boundaries of ocean intelligence.

The Opportunity

Take ownership of embedded firmware for mission-critical robotic systems built on STM32 platforms. You'll drive architecture, development, and integration while working closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers. From board bring-up to sea trials, you'll see your work deployed in the real world, diving into the ocean and returning with meaningful data.

Important context on the stack: this is bare-metal and RTOS firmware in C. It is not a ROS or full Linux robotics stack, and it is not a C++ application-layer role. If you are the kind of engineer who knows an STM32 family inside out, including every quirk ST has thrown at the world, this will feel like home.

What You'll Do

  • Develop embedded firmware in C for autonomous ocean vehicles, covering power systems, motor control, sensors, and communication interfaces.
  • Architect and evolve STM32 firmware libraries, HALs, and modular embedded codebases.
  • Bring up new hardware platforms, including bootloaders, peripheral drivers, and low-level interfaces.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware teams during full-system integration and lab testing.
  • Build automated test frameworks and CI pipelines for robust, testable firmware.
  • Support sea trials and offshore deployments, rapidly debugging and iterating in the field.
  • Contribute to a disciplined, documentation-focused engineering culture as the team grows.

What You'll Bring

  • Around 10 years of embedded systems experience, mid to senior level, with expertise in bare-metal and RTOS development. Somewhat under or over is fine if the domain fit is right.
  • Deep, hands-on fluency with STM32 microcontrollers, including HAL/LL, CubeMX, interrupt-driven design, and peripheral bring-up.
  • Firmware experience on systems that are battery powered, that communicate, and that move. This is the single hardest requirement to meet and the one that matters most. Robotics, drones, AMRs, underwater vehicles, or comparable mobile resource-constrained products.
  • Strong C skills and familiarity with embedded software best practices (state machines, modular design, fixed-point math).
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD debugging, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and profiling tools.
  • Knowledge of CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, and RS-485 communication protocols.
  • Strong written and technical communication. You can explain your work clearly and concisely.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, hardware-centric R&D environments.
  • U.S. citizenship required.

Bonus Points

  • Some electrical engineering bleed, enough to read a schematic and reason about the hardware you're writing for. A strong pure-firmware engineer is equally welcome.
  • Experience with underwater or extreme-environment robotics.
  • Familiarity with low-power system design and sleep-state management.
  • Scripting experience (Python, Bash) for tooling and automation.
  • Exposure to software safety standards, static analysis, or unit testing frameworks.
  • Background supporting field deployments, sea trials, or remote robotic systems.
  • Experience with CI tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
