Board Design Engineer

Job Description Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence. We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most. About the JobAs a Board Design Engineer, you will design, lay out, and validate the printed circuit assemblies that power Array's radar payloads and on-orbit processing systems. Your work will span high-density digital and mixed-signal designs, power regulation modules, RF-interfaces, and compute hardware operating under the constraints of small satellite platforms. You will take boards from schematic through layout, manufacturing, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, digital, mechanical, and systems engineers. The boards you develop will directly influence Array's signal integrity, processing throughput, thermal behavior, and overall radar system capability. As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world's most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.
