We are looking for an

ElectricalDesign Engineer

to support the development of the electrical and communication interface of Kepler’s satellite payload; a communication router between multiple communication protocols includingOptical, Ku-band, and S-band.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop hardware solutions to support Kepler’s space technology that requires the utilization of leading technology and practices

Support design reviews for active designs to minimize design gaps

Conduct and document engineering analysis including derating, reliability, radiation, EMI/EMC, FMECA, and power budgets

Support pathfinding development for future satellite generations that will utilize new technology and interfaces including UFS, 10G+ Ethernet, PCIE5, various other high-speed interfaces, new memory technology, and processors

Maintain technical documentation that captures design decisions, design specifications, block diagrams, interface requirements, and system architecture reports

Develop full product solutions by working closely with other cross-functional engineering teams including RF, mechanical, software, and FPGA

Required Skills & Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

4+ years of experience designing, developing,



and validating complex electronic hardware systems from concept through production, with demonstrated ownership of technical deliverables and successful design execution

Proven ability to lead hardware development efforts from concept definition through schematic design, PCB layout and/or layout oversight, integration, verification, and design validation testing

Robust proficiency with industry standard schematic capture and PCB layout tools such as Altium Designer or equivalent

Proven experience integrating processors, FPGAs, and SoCs into high-performance embedded systems, including successful implementation and debugging of high-speed digital interfaces

Ability to design and validate mixed-signal circuitry incorporating ADCs, DACs, sensors, and precision analog signal chains while meeting performance requirements such as noise, accuracy, and dynamic range

Demonstrated success implementing and troubleshooting high-speed interfaces such as JESD204B, Ethernet (1G/10G+), PCIe, or equivalent protocols, including signal integrity considerations and laboratory validation

Familiarity with clocking architectures, oscillator selection, timing distribution, and synchronization requirements in complex digital systems

Proven capability designing passive and active analog signal-conditioning circuits, including filter design, analysis, and validation

Ability to identify technical risks early, develop mitigation strategies, and drive resolution through design reviews, testing, and cross-functional collaboration

Strong hands-on debugging and root-cause analysis skills with experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other labo
