About the role

  • As an Electrical Engineer at Lynk, you will function in many roles to use and expand your knowledge of electronics and RF hardware and software.
  • In particular, since our payloads operate at frequencies from UHF to Ka Band your work with involve use of spectrum analyzers and other RF equipment.
  • If you enjoy the challenge of a broad role and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems, then we look forward to meeting you!

Responsibilities

  • You will perform analyses, design, implementation, optimization and enhancement of subsystems utilized in our nanosatellite bus and its communications payload.
  • Working with other Electrical Engineers, you will design and assemble circuit boards and participate in the iterative design, integration, and test of our nanosatellite bus and payload electronics hardware and software.
  • Because Lynk is a small company, the Electrical Engineer will straddle engineering work in the domains of electrical, RF, and software engineering and will design primarily at the schematic and layout level.
  • Design of spacecraft bus and payload hardware, including single-board computers, FPGAs, SoCs, processors, sensors, SDRs, LNAs, filters, amplifiers, etc., and software.
  • Develop firmware and test software for your circuit boards.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation for spacecraft bus and payload design and development.
  • Participate in design reviews at all levels.
  • Support spacecraft payload integration, testing, and delivery to launch and/or spacecraft bus partners/vendors.

Requirements

  • Individuals who do not meet these criteria must be eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
  • A Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering.
  • 5+ years of experience in circuit board design and development of discrete logic, signal conditioning, power circuits and RF PCBs.
  • RF circuits will commonly involve separate ground, power and 50 ohm signal planes, and shielding as required.
  • Hands-on experience with single-board computers, microcontrollers, FPGAs, GPUs, CPUs, SoCs, software-defined radios, RF components, and antennas.
  • Ability to read and understand datasheets for integrated circuits and other complex components.
  • Working knowledge of electronic test equipment including logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Experience using Linux based systems.
  • Programming proficiency in one or more programming languages is highly desired, such as, C++, C, Python, MATLAB, etc.
  • 5+ years of experience in circuit board design and development of discrete logic, signal conditioning, power circuits and RF PCBs. Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium. Circuit simulation using LTSpice or similar. RF circuits will commonly involve separate ground, power and 50 ohm signal planes, and shielding as required.
  • Previous satellite bus design experience
  • Recent participation in projects developing space payload hardware and software, preferably communications systems.
  • Hands-on experience programming microcontrollers and with integrating hardware and software systems is desired.
  • Familiarity with FPGA programming, VHDL or Verilog, and Altera or Xilinx FPGAs is desired.
  • Must be good with computers. Fluent in Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX, very capable with Microsoft Office... Excel, Project, PowerPoint, Word.
  • Must have good communication skills and be able to work independently as well as in a team environment.
  • Visionary.
