Electrical & Computer Engineer

Join a small, growing team in the space and defense sector as its first dedicated electrical and computer engineer. You will lead development of a satellite flight computer and help design GPU compute electronics for in-orbit AI inference.

* Design and own the flight computer for an upcoming satellite mission.

* Build prototypes, bring up hardware, and debug systems in the Los Angeles lab alongside engineering leadership.

* Work with external manufacturing partners to develop electronics and compute systems for a full-scale satellite.

* Guide high-speed interconnect decisions, including NVLink and SerDes, and evaluate photonics and optical interconnects.

* Develop firmware and platform software for payloads as needed.

* Between 0 and 15 years of electrical or computer engineering experience, with at least one year at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or experience in a zero-to-one environment.

* A degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

* End-to-end custom board or system-board design experience, including schematics, high-speed PCB layout, hardware bring-up, and debugging.

* Knowledge of high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and power integrity.

* Experience with GPUs, accelerators, SoCs, large ASICs, photonics, optical interconnects, networking, or contract manufacturers is valuable.

* Space, satellite, or radiation-hardened hardware experience is beneficial, as is experience alongside aerospace or government contracting work.

* U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Annual base salary: $120,000 to $220,000.
