Senior Electrical Design Engineer – Space Hardware
Orlando, FL | Hybrid | $130,000–$180,000 + Benefits
We’re working with a well-funded space technology company developing space-based LiDAR systems for a new generation of commercial satellite missions.
They’re looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer who can take genuine ownership of electronics hardware — from requirements and circuit architecture through component selection, schematic design, PCB development, bring-up, test and qualification.
This is not a PCB layout-only, FPGA-only or systems integration role. We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys getting into the details of how a circuit works, why components were selected, how it could fail, and what needs to change when hardware has to operate reliably in space.
What you'll be doing
Own electrical hardware designs from concept through flight-ready hardware
Design analog, digital, mixed-signal and power circuitry
Select components and perform detailed circuit analysis, simulation and design verification
Develop schematics and drive complex PCB/CCA designs through layout and fabrication
Design power distribution, DC/DC conversion, regulation, filtering and protection circuitry
Develop high-speed interfaces involving technologies such as LVDS, SerDes, FPGA/processor interfaces, ADC/DAC, Ethernet, PCIe or similar
Perform signal integrity, power integrity, timing and noise analysis
Personally support board bring-up, debugging, test and troubleshooting in the lab
Design around hardware failure modes and ensure appropriate fault protection and reliability
Develop electronics for the realities of the space environment, including radiation, vacuum, thermal cycling, derating, outgassing and thermal management
Work directly alongside optical, mechanical, software, FPGA and systems engineers in a small multidisciplinary team
What we're looking for
You’ll likely have 7+ years of hands-on electrical/electronics hardware design experience and be comfortable personally owning complex board-level designs.
Strong experience in several of the following is particularly relevant:
Schematic capture and circuit design
PCB / CCA design ownership
Analog and mixed-signal electronics
High-speed digital and differential signaling
Power electronics / power distribution
DC/DC converters, regulators and filtering
FPGA, processor, ADC/DAC and sensor interfaces
Signal integrity and power integrity
Clocking, synchronization and precision timing
Noise analysis
Component selection and derating
EMI/EMC design
Board-level FMEA / failure analysis
Hardware bring-up and laboratory debugging
Experience designing electronics for spacecraft, satellites, avionics, aerospace, defense, scientific instrumentation, imaging systems or other high-reliability hardware would be particularly valuable.
Direct LiDAR experience is not required.
Why join?
This isn't a role where you'll own one small piece of a design and pass it downstream.
You'll join a small, highly technical engineering team and have significant influence over the electrical architecture of hardware that will ultimately operate in orbit.
The company has secured $40M+ in venture funding alongside significant commercial demand for its technology, and this hire will play an important role in taking its next generation of space hardware from development into deployment.
Location: Orlando, Florida – Hybrid
Salary: $130,000–$180,000 + benefits
