LeoLabs is building a living map of activity in space through a proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform. The company collects millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), providing radar-powered intelligence that protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.
As an Electrical Engineer, you will design and develop electronics powering next-generation radar systems. This is a hands-on role focused on board-level hardware development across mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics, supporting designs from initial requirements through prototype bring-up, validation, and production.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and develop PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware
- Translate system and subsystem requirements into schematics and board-level designs
- Support PCB layout and perform design checks under senior engineer guidance
- Contribute to mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics for demanding operating environments
- Perform hardware bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and electrical validation
- Analyze test results and assist with identifying and resolving hardware design issues
- Collaborate with RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to integrate complete hardware systems
- Participate in design reviews and incorporate technical feedback
- Support prototype builds, manufacturing transition, and deployment activities
- Develop engineering tools, test software, and laboratory automation using Python
- Create and maintain design documentation, test procedures, and test reports
- Contribute to continuous improvement of electrical design and laboratory practices
You will work full-time onsite at the Menlo Park facility in a collaborative, multidisciplinary hardware development environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
- 3+ years relevant experience designing or testing board-level electronics
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using Altium Designer or equivalent
- Experience participating in hardware development from design through prototype bring-up and validation
- Working knowledge of mixed-signal design fundamentals, including power integrity, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC-aware layout
- Hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging, and electrical validation
- Experience using circuit-simulation tools such as LTspice
- Experience developing engineering tools or test automation using Python
- Strong technical communication and documentation skills
- Ability to work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
- Experience designing electronics for radar, aerospace, defense, communications, or other mission-critical applications
- Familiarity with FPGAs, embedded processors, or high-speed digital hardware
- Familiarity with product lifecycle management systems such as Arena
- Experience working in a multidisciplinary hardware-development environment
- Familiarity with RF hardware or RF system integration
Note: ITAR compliance required. Candidates must be eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
