Job Summary:

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead the architecture, design, and implementation of critical electrical subsystems and modules for SatCom user terminals. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will serve as a technical authority for power supplies, GNSS integration, and network exchange modules. An ideal candidate brings a sophisticated mathematical and engineering foundation, capable of solving complex, high-stakes hardware challenges with minimal oversight. This role requires a proven track record in high-speed digital design, hands-on lab leadership, and the ability to mentor junior engineers through rigorous documentation and validation standards.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead the creation and critical review of hardware design documents, ensuring block diagrams, schematics, and BOMs meet global SatCom standards.


• Drive the design and implementation of high-current switching power supplies and GNSS receiver modules using advanced microcontrollers, CPLDs, and FPGAs.


• Oversee complex simulations for signal and power integrity (SI/PI) to guarantee robust performance in high-speed environments.


• Direct board bring-up, advanced debugging, and Design Verification Testing (DVT) to ensure prototypes exceed operational requirements.


• Partner with procurement and Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to optimize DFM/DFA processes and ensure scalable production.


• Establish and maintain rigorous standards for lab notes and design documentation throughout the entire product development cycle.


• Architect Python-based test automation frameworks and integrate AI tools to revolutionize schematic generation and predictive component selection.
