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.
