Electrical Engineering Manager - Digital HardwareDesign Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide byconnecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lackinternet access.
We're doing this by building the next generationof smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the worldonline. As a team, we've launched two satellites into orbit, signedten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over$500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team ofover 300 world-class engineers.
We all work out of our (legendary)San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during theWorld Wars. Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit(GEO),
weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-definedradio payload.
Each satellite can connect over two million people,and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in thePhilippines, Peru, Mexico, and more! Backed by substantial fundingand a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding workenvironment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, nomatter where you are in your career.
As an Engineering Manager, youwill be responsible for the delivery of our custom Software DefinedRadios. As a team leader, you will oversee cradle to grave hardwaredevelopment : architecture definition, board design, testing, andqualification.
Ideal Candidate : - An individual who has built andoverseen the entire design cycle of FPGA based software definedradios for GEO space telecommunications satellites.
- Proven recordof delivering custom designed hardware that spans the entire rangeof signal chain design, integration of FPGAs with high speed dataconverters, custom power and clocking solutions, and supporting RTLdevelopment.
- Experience with design and analysis of payloads forsatellite communications, including radiation effects within FPGAbased systems or highly complex digital devices.
- History ofleading small teams and mentoring employees, strong communicationskills, and ability to make high impact decisions underuncertainty.
Role : - Lead and develop a team of electricalengineers to design industry shattering software defined radioscapable of running complex signal processing algorithms in space! -Oversee and manage design workflows for highly complex PCBAs withintegrated compute, high speed I / O, data converters, and powerdistribution.
- Architect ultra high-speed mixed signal systems toachieve the most efficient and flexible communications payloads,integrating them with the rest of the spacecraft.
- Ensurecompetitiveness through continuous technical innovation andindustry expertise. Requirements : - B.S.
or higher in electrical orcomputer engineering, or similar technical degree.
- 8+ years ofprofessional experience in mixed-signal and high-speed digitalhardware design. Examples include FPGAs, high speed dataconverters, SerDes and high speed serial links, networking,JESD204C.
- 8+ years of PCB-level experience designing hardwarefrom concept through production (schematic capture, layout,bring-up, characterization, etc).
- Proven leadership throughproject management, mentorship, and people management experience. -A passion for hardware development, including working in afast-paced environment and hands-on design.
Bonus : - Strongbackground in mixed signal system performance measurement, designvalidation, and debugging (EVM testing, spur analysis,multi-carrier measurements, etc).
- Experience simulating highspeed digital protocols using Ansys SIwave, Keysight ADS, orsimilar tools. - Experience with Altium or similar EDA tools forhigh-density PCB design.
- Strong background in digitalcommunications theory and measurement of radio nonidealities (HD,IMD, IQ imbalance, gain ripple, group delay distortion, etc).
