Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital)

• As a Senior Electrical Engineer (Digital Baseband), your core responsibility will be to own architecture, design, and bring up of custom digital circuit boards for radio basebands
• You will work with RF engineers, RF software engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to meet test needs across a wide range of capabilities
• You will work on uplink and downlink SDRs utilizing FPGAs, high speed digital peripherals, DACs, ADCs, and interfaces to other systems
• You will have the opportunity to contribute to all aspects of spacecraft electronics development, from architecting new systems to building and operating them
• Design and bring up high speed digital baseband systems supporting software defined radios
• Contribute to new spacecraft RF architecture trades
• Develop circuit boards (schematic and layout) for spacecraft, with an emphasis on digital electronics
• Perform rigorous analyses and simulations of digital devices and systems
• Perform development testing of hardware in the lab, from single digital designs to entire RF systems
• Derive baseband hardware design requirements from system-level specifications
• Evaluate and design for mitigation of desense, EMI, EMC, and co-existence issues
• Own hardware through qualification and flight operations
• Establish and maintain high technical standards and mentor less experienced engineers
• Improve existing RF products throughout their lifecycle by troubleshooting issues, performing failure analysis of parts and systems, and implementing improvements
