Senior Electrical Design Engineer

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 Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you will design and validate the digital and mixed-signal electronics that support Array’s radar payloads and satellite platforms. Your work will include high-speed digital interfaces, precision clocking and timing distribution, power regulation and control circuits, system monitoring and telemetry hardware, and fault-tolerant satellite avionics. You will take hardware through design, prototyping, bring-up, and qualification, working closely with RF, antenna, mechanical, and systems engineers. The hardware you develop will directly affect system performance, power efficiency, stability, and overall reliability on orbit.ResponsibilitiesDevelop advanced electronic platforms, from architecture to manufacturingWork closely with software, firmware, RF, antenna, digital, and mechanical design engineers to design and validate state-of-the-art spacecraft electronicsCreate requirements, perform system trades, select components, capture schematics, design complex electronic assemblies and manage manufacturingLead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, manufacturing, and test campaignsRapidly iterate on and improve electronic designs based on laboratory, environmental and on-orbit testingBasic QualificationsB.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 4-7 years of relevant experienceExperience in electronics design, bring-up, and testExcellent teamwork and communication skillsLearns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed mannerHigh levels of self-motivation and personal accountabilityAbility to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraintsPreferred Skills and ExperienceMaster’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related fieldHands-on experience with full-life cycle hardware development (concept to production) in consumer electronics, power electronics, communications, automotive, aerospace, and/or roboticsBackground in high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques including PCB stack-up, fabrication considerations, layout constraints, component selection, and measurementBackground in electromagnetic theory and RF fundamentals such as S-parameters, transmission lines, and broadband impedance matchingHands-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 design using CAD tools such as Altium Designer (preferred); experience with Allegro and/or OrCAD is a plusExperience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniquesExperience with signal and power integrity simulation and measurementExperience with EM and thermal simulation of printed circuit boardsExperience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTspice, ADS, and/or Microwave OfficeExperience with data analysis and programming in MATLAB or PythonHands-on experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzersITAR RequirementsTo 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 Equal Opportunity EmployerArray Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
