Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.

As an electrical engineer on the avionics team, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the design of the first autonomous formation flying distributed satellite constellation. In this critical role, you will be collaborating with flight software, spacecraft operations, mechanical, radar and radio frequency engineering teams to build cutting-edge hardware, rapidly moving all the way from clean-sheet designs into full operational deployment in space.

Responsibilities:

System-level and module-level design in support of a ground-breaking multi-function distributed satellite constellations
Work closely with flight software, GNC, mechanical and spacecraft operations teams to design and validate avionics electronics
Develop circuit designs and build simulations to analyze system performance
Design electronics for the orbital environments
Create spacecraft hardware requirements, specifications, and test procedures
Support flight software bring-up and validation by developing and implementing hardware test plans

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related field.
4+ years of experience in electronics design, fabrication, and test
Excellent teamwork and communication skills
Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field
2+ years of experience in electronics design for mission-critical or space-flight applications
2+ years of experience designing avionics or flight-control systems
2+ years of experience working in fast-paced/startup environments
Experience in the design, integration, and test of avionics and flight-control systems
Experience designing spacecraft electronics
Strong understanding of computers and programming languages
Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role
Experience working in a lab and using laboratory test equipment
