Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
Own the end-to-end design, development, and manufacturing transition of spacecraft harnesses, cables, connectors, and interconnect solutions for a LEO satellite constellation. You will drive connector selection from custom and COTS sources, develop cable assemblies spanning STP to coax to fiber, and work directly with international vendors to move designs from prototype through volume production.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own schematic design and component selection for digital avionics boards, from concept through flight qualification.
- Design high-speed SERDES interfaces (PCIe, JESD, gigabit links) and DDR4/DDR5 memory interfaces with proper timing closure.
- Develop clocking architectures including PLL configuration, jitter management, and clock distribution networks.
- Perform power budgeting and system-level power allocation across board subsystems.
- Apply radiation-tolerant design techniques including SEU/SEE mitigation, TID considerations, and appropriate component derating.
- Collaborate with FPGA engineers on support circuitry design, pinout planning, and power/layout requirements.
- Drive board bring-up activities including configuration, interface verification, and structured debugging.
- Participate in design reviews and cross-functional integration with RF, power, thermal, and mechanical teams.
