About the Role

Join a small aerospace team as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will lead development of a satellite flight computer and contribute to GPU compute electronics for in-orbit AI inference.

What You'll Do

Design and own the flight computer for an upcoming satellite mission.

Build prototypes, bring up hardware, and debug systems in the Los Angeles lab.

Work with manufacturing partners on electronics and compute systems for a larger satellite.

Evaluate high-speed interconnects, including NVLink and SerDes, as well as photonics and optical interconnects.

Develop firmware and platform software for payload systems when needed.

What We're Looking For

Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience, with 0 to 15 years of relevant experience.

End-to-end custom board or system-board design experience, including schematics, high-speed PCB layout, bring-up, and debugging.

Experience with high-speed digital design and signal- and power-integrity fundamentals.

Startup or other 0-to-1 environment experience, in addition to any aerospace prime or government contractor background.

Helpful experience includes GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, photonics, optical interconnects, networking, contract manufacturers or ODMs, and space, satellite, or radiation-hardened hardware.

Working knowledge of relevant tools and technologies such as schematic capture, signal and power integrity analysis, embedded C/C++, Linux, and Python.

Compensation & Benefits

Annual base salary: $120,000 to $220,000. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site, five days per week in Los Angeles, California, United States.
