We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team. We are looking to add a Senior Hardware Engineer II to our team. If you are great at what you do, enjoy working in a startup environment, and are passionate about developing leading-edge electronics for satellites, spacecraft, and aerospace systems, we would like to hear from you. At the Principal level, you will be tasked with full-stack hardware development for complex modules and hardware systems. You will have the opportunity to start at concept development and progress through detailed design, analysis, layout, build, test, and delivery, doing hands-on work at each phase. The Principal level also includes technical leadership opportunities, gaining responsibility for critical designs and teams of engineers developing new products and systems. At a small company and a startup, your work will make direct contributions to the success of the business. The work is challenging and impactful, requiring both breadth and depth of technical knowledge. Our products are made for high-reliability space and airborne applications, so designs require high levels of technical rigor while maintaining the agility of a startup environment. The successful candidate will also present engineering design review materials to our customers and executive team. As such, excellent written and verbal communication skills are required. JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Own end-to-end design of complex electronics modules and systems, from concept and architecture through schematic, layout, test, and production. Products may include high-speed digital, power electronics, and/or RF. Lead teams of hardware engineers to develop new products with multiple electronics modules. Provide subject matter expertise in support of hardware development across the company. Develop hardware architecture and write hardware requirements for systems of high complexity. Perform detailed and complete schematic design for complex boards, ranging from key components to supporting passives. Perform detailed PCB layout in Altium Designer for complex boards, often working with a PCB Drafter. Complete analysis such as worst-case circuit analysis, signal integrity analysis, and power integrity analysis. Guide analysis methodology. Develop bring-up plans and design verification plans for new hardware and complex systems. Perform bring-up and key verification testing of modules and complex integrated systems, often working with a team to complete validation. Release modules and assemblies to production, working with the Manufacturing and Test Engineering teams. Mentor junior and senior engineers to build technical understanding and professional development. Use strong working knowledge of adjacent fields, such as software and mechanical, to streamline development of complex hardware systems. JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor of Science (BS) degree or higher in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university. Minimum of 6 years of industry or university research experience in board-level electronics design, analysis, and test. Direct experience designing high-reliability electronics and small systems for space or defense applications, including part derating, worst-case analysis, and thermal constraints. Experience owning the design phase of complex board-level electronics and small hardware systems, including architecture design, trade studies, key part selection, and detailed design.
