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.
The Principal Electro-Optical Engineer will participate in all aspects of the development and test of optical communications systems. The ideal candidate has 15+ years of experience in optical comms related electrical design including schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
This position will report to the Director of Electrical Engineering and will work closely with various engineering teams. The successful candidate will be based in our Saratoga, CA office.
What you'll be doing
- Develop PCBA requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
- Design of optical comms related circuits including laser drivers and receivers, power supplies, TIAs, instrumentation, filters, high speed DACs/ADCs, digital processors and interfaces, simulations, etc
- Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer.
- Circuit analysis including power, tolerance, and reliability related.
- PCBA design verification testing and system integration testing.
- Production manufacturing support as needed.
What you bring to this role
- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- 15+ years of experience in opto-electrical circuit design, analysis, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
