Description For Senior Electrical Engineer, High Speed Mixed Signal

K2 Space is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in High Speed Mixed Signal design to join our innovative team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of developing cutting-edge electronics for some of the most advanced satellites ever deployed in space.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll lead the design and development of high speed mixed signal electronics crucial for software-defined radio (SDR) systems in satellite communications. Your work will directly impact the capabilities of our rapidly designed and manufactured satellites, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in space technology.

In your first 6 months, you'll architect, develop, test, and integrate new high speed electronics for SDR systems. You'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of RF, FPGA, software, mechanical, and electrical engineers to prototype and refine your designs. Within two years, you'll have the incredible opportunity to see your system deployed and operational in space.

Key responsibilities include designing mixed signal and high speed digital hardware, owning the successful operation of these electronics in spacecraft RF systems, qualifying designs through rigorous environmental testing, and supporting your product through production and spaceflight. You'll also act as a technical leader, mentoring and growing other team members.

We're looking for candidates with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field, 2+ years of experience in electrical hardware design with a focus on mixed signal, and proficiency in PCB design tools like Altium. Experience with SDR hardware development, radiation-tolerant component selection, and programming skills in Python, Rust, or C/C++ are highly valued.

At K2 Space, we offer a competitive salary range of $140,000 - $200,000, plus equity in the company. Our comprehensive benefits package includes unlimited PTO, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, and paid parental leave.

Join us in our mission to revolutionize satellite technology and make your mark in the final frontier. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of electrical engineering in space, we want to hear from you!
