Design and specify satellite navigation payload systems, document requirements and interfaces, coordinate external contractors, manage development progress, and assess system risks and quality.
About this role
This role owns small-satellite PCB layout in the satellite systems development team. The team develops hardware for VDES communications and hyperspectral Earth observation and standardizes satellite buses for repeatable builds. The role converts circuit designs into manufacturable boards, balancing electrical, thermal, structural and production constraints. The engineer interprets schematics, sets component placement, layer stack-up and routing, and releases manufacturing data. Work covers signal integrity, impedance and EMC/noise, applying test findings to layout rules, coordinating thermal paths and enclosure fit with other engineers, and designing for assembly, inspection and rework. The role also includes evidence-based layout reviews. Tools include electrical/PCB CAD, 3D CAD, GitHub and Slack; no specific PCB CAD is required. Required experience includes independently completing PCB layout from schematic handoff through manufacturing-data release; coordinating trade-offs with circuit, thermal and structural engineers; providing evidence-based corrective layout reviews; and either creating 3D CAD models or reviewing enclosure/component interference.
