Job description

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 Avionics Engineering Lead will oversee the development, test, and delivery of electronic hardware and

FPGA firmware for E-Space satellites. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of Electrical Engineering management experience and 10+ years of Electrical Engineering development and test experience in aerospace.

This position will report to the Director of Electrical Engineering and will manage many of the Electrical and

FPGA engineers on the Avionics team. The successful candidate will be based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you'll be doing :

  • Lead the day-to-day execution of engineering work by 8+ Electrical and FPGA engineers to shepherd the team through development, test, and delivery of their products.
  • Plan and track engineering tasks, communicate up status of team products.
  • Ensure that the Avionics department standards and best practices are employed by the team to quickly deliver high quality products that meet their requirements. Help refine standards and practices based on lessons learned.
  • Provide tools and resources needed by the team to perform their work.
  • Participate in supporting technical tasks including design reviews, troubleshooting, and surge engineering effort when needed.
  • Help teammates develop their skills and careers in alignment with their interests and the company's.
  • Perform performance evaluations for reporting teammates as well as regular one-on-ones.

What you bring to this role :

  • 5+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering management experience of teams of 6+.
  • 10+ years of experience in new electronics product development, test, and flight in aerospace applications.
  • Expertise in power, digital, and analog circuit design, simulation, and analysis, and testing.
  • Expertise in high reliability electronics and FPGA development and test practices.
  • Bonus points for the following :

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Experience with antenna design and wireless RF links.
  • Experience designing for space environments including radiation impacts and mitigation.
  • Familiarity with Altium Designer
  • FPGA design skills.
  • C / C++ or Python skills
  • This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $150,000 - $220,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

    We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.

    E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

    Why E-Space is right for you :

    As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.

This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.

    We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space :
