Electrical Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for a highly skilled Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate complex analog, mixed-signal, and digital circuits for cutting-edge space applications. You'll play a key role in new product development, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability while supporting production and customer needs. A power electronics background is required, along with a no task too small mentality.

Responsibilities

Circuit Design & Development

• Own schematic and PCB design, including component selection, stack-up design, routing, and fabrication.
• Simulate circuit performance, assess existing designs, and optimize for space applications.
• Implement designs following aerospace and industrial electrical safety standards.

Prototyping & Testing

• Conduct board bring-up, system validation, and troubleshooting for prototypes and production units.
• Develop and execute testing protocols to ensure compliance with safety, reliability, and performance standards.
• Write technical documentation, including project logs, test reports, and design evaluations.

Manufacturing & Integration

• Oversee prototype manufacturing and iterative design improvements.
• Establish and document manufacturing processes for internal production and outsourcing.
• Identify and evaluate potential manufacturing partners for production.
• Train engineers and technicians on best practices for electrical manufacturing.

Collaboration & Support

• Work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration.
• Act as the technical liaison with vendors and manufacturing partners.
• Provide technical support during field deployment and customer operations.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering.
• 4+ years of experience designing circuits, electronic products, or hardware.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a similar engineering degree.
• 2+ years of electronic product experience designing hardware from concept through production; strong emphasis on full life cycle development of new hardware products and not small incremental updates to legacy hardware.
• 2+ years of experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, UART, RS-422/485, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components.
• Experience in testing, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics.
• Adept at soldering small components (BGA, 0402, 0603, etc.).
• Strong understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++).
• Expertise in circuit board design, schematic generation, and PCB layout tools (KiCad preferred).
• Strong background in engineering design, testing, and validation procedures.
• Experience with motor and inverter design, power supply development, image processor integration, STM32, and other ARM processor architectures.
• 2+ years of space industry experience.
• Experience with design for radiation environments is a plus.

Additional Requirements

• Willing to work extended hours and weekends when needed.
• This is an on-site position only. The role is based in Bangalore, India.
