About the role
- At the end of three years, you will have flown cutting-edge hardware in space that will be critical for providing best-in-the-world resilient and secure communications for enterprise and government customers.
- We are seeking engineers who love to solve hard problems.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for overall electrical design, analysis, validation, and ownership of a satellite payload RF chain, including, but not limited to: limiters, filters, switches, low noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), up/downconverters, mixers, local oscillators (LOs), phase-locked loops (PLLs), splitters/combiners, transmission lines, and baluns
- Own product delivery timeline through entire lifecycle (requirements definition, design, prototype build & test, production build & test, system integration, and successful on-orbit operations)
- Develop and execute RF test plans for component and system-level validation
- Collaborate with team members to establish and manage qualification and acceptance test campaigns for your hardware for space environments (vibration, thermal, TVAC, radiation) per standards such as MIL-STD-461 and SMC-S-016
- Collaborate with team members to manage and perform integration & test of your hardware on the spacecraft
- Responsible for overall electrical design, analysis, validation, and ownership of a satellite payload
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field with a focus on RF and/or millimeter wave hardware
- Detailed knowledge of EMI/EMC/ESD mitigation techniques specific to RF hardware
- A minimum of 4 years of experience in RF or millimeter wave hardware design, analysis, and testing
- Experience designing and characterizing active and passive
- Experience with RF circuit simulation tools (e.g. Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR Microwave Office)
- Experience with multilayer PCB design, layout, and manufacturing using software tools such as Altium or similar
- Experience with RF test & measurement tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and software defined radios (SDRs)
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF and/or millimeter wave electronics
- Experience working with electrical hardware and/or avionics for space through the entire product life cycle
- Experience designing and testing hardware for space environments or similar per standards such as SMC-S-016 or MIL-STD-461, including considerations for thermal management, vibration, radiation effects, and reliability
- Familiar with power electronics for biasing RF circuits
- Experience with electromagnetic, passive RF, and antenna simulation tools (e.g., Ansys Electronics Desktop HFSS)
- Experience with designing and testing RF hardware above 17 GHz
- Familiar with waveguides and traveling wave tube amps (TWTAs)
- Familiar with test automation, data processing and visualization using Python or MATLAB
Skills
- Logos Space is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system purpose-built to serve the connectivity
- needs of the commercial enterprise users and government users.
- Speed and reliability are the foundation of the system.
- Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills.
Compensation
- This policy applies with regard to all aspects of one's employment, including hiring, transfer, promotion, compensation, eligibility for benefits, and termination.
