PCB Design Engineer

Job Overview:

Harpy Aerospace is seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented PCB Design Engineer to join our Satellite Systems team. You will be responsible for the design, layout, and documentation of high-reliability printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in spaceborne platforms, including CubeSats, microsatellites, and custom payload electronics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design multi-layer PCBs (up to 10+ layers) for satellite subsystems such as:
• Power distribution boards (EPS)
• Onboard computers (OBC)
• ADCS sensor boards
• Payload interface and control boards
• Work with aerospace-grade components (radiation-tolerant, ITAR-free, MIL-spec)
• Perform impedance matching, signal integrity analysis, and grounding strategies
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal teams to ensure board fit, routing, and thermal compatibility
• Generate schematics, BoMs, Gerber files, and manufacturing documentation
• Support in board bring-up, test jig development, and functional testing
• Ensure compliance with aerospace standards (ECSS, IPC-6012/6013, MIL-PRF-31032)
• Optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), and testability (DFT)

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in PCB design for high-reliability embedded systems
• Proficiency in tools such as KiCad, OrCAD or Eagle
• Experience with high-speed routing (LVDS, Ethernet, DDR), EMI/EMC compliance
• Strong understanding of aerospace component selection and derating practices
• Familiarity with signal/power integrity simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, ADS)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with space-grade hardware (CubeSat or satellite bus subsystems)
• Knowledge of ECSS or IPC Class 3 / Class 3A requirements
• Experience in vibration and thermal design constraints for launch environment
• Exposure to RF layout techniques (UHF, S-Band)

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge space missions
• Collaborative and interdisciplinary R&D environment
• Access to hardware-in-the-loop and cleanroom facilities
• Growth in India’s evolving NewSpace ecosystem
• Send your resume, portfolio of PCB designs (if available), and cover letter to [email protected]
