Senior Electronics Engineer

As a Senior Spacecraft Electronics Engineer, you will be designing and integratingcustom components for our next-generation satellite platform.

This includes the design of PCBAs; the selection, evaluation, and integration of various off-the-shelf components and custom sensors, radios, and power systems; making last-minute fixes; working with third-party fabricators and assemblers; and interfacing with the software and mechanical teams. You may also participate in guiding software and mechanical design and may be involved at any stage of development including proof of concept to new product introduction.

What You’ll Do:

• Electrical Design of Spacecraft electronics including requirement gatheringarchitecture and detailed design.
• Schematic capture and PCB Layout using Altium Designer.
• Power supply and power monitoring circuit design.
• Signal and Power integrity simulation and analysis.
• Peer review of schematics and layouts.
• Board bring-up, verification and debugging.
• Assisting and mentoring other team members to achieve their goals.

Key Skills:

• Electronics theory, including component knowledge and analogue and digital circuitry expertise.
• Board design including schematic capture, PCB layout using any enterprise software (Altium preferred) with focus on Design for manufacturing (DFM) principles.
• Experience with FPGA based designs.
• Strong knowledge of High-speed digital layout design practices (matched impedance, stack up and manufacturing restrictions) and experience using SI tools.
• Experience with digital communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, USB, LVDS, Ethernet).
• Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, etc.
• Experience with rigid-flex PCB design.
• Strong Debugging experience and fault identification.

Preferred Skills:

• SI tools experience like Hyperlynx or equivalent.
• Experienced in High power electronic design and thermal management.
• RF theory/circuitry (Power amps, filters, layout etc).
• EMC testing.
• Space experience.

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.
