ICEYE is seeking a Senior Electronics Engineer to design and develop embedded electronics hardware for mission-critical spacecraft systems, specifically for Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS). You will own the complete lifecycle of hardware from initial schematics through bring-up, verification, and on-orbit support.
In this role, you will design and develop embedded electronics hardware using Altium Designer and/or Mentor Graphics PADS, focusing on digital control and interface circuitry around microcontrollers and FPGAs. You'll design sensor and actuator interfaces, protection circuits, and fault-handling systems. Your responsibilities include working closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineers to define hardware interfaces and develop joint verification test cases.
You will take full ownership of your electronics designs, including verification testing and documentation. Support for on-orbit troubleshooting of hardware you've developed is expected as needed. The role emphasizes understanding the complete system architecture, not just individual components, and iterating quickly—designs can move from concept to orbit within months.
Required qualifications include a Master's or Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or related discipline, plus 5+ years of experience developing electronics with schematic and layout design. You must have strong experience in digital and embedded control electronics, including microcontroller/FPGA interfacing (ADC, PWM, GPIO), sensor and actuator interfaces, and protection circuitry. Experience designing serial communication hardware (I2C, SPI, UART, RS485, CAN) with proper isolation and protection is essential.
Nice-to-have skills include experience with high-reliability and fault-tolerant systems, power electronics design, hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers), programming in C/C++, Python, or MATLAB, revision control (Git/SVN), Linux familiarity, and high-speed SERDES interfaces. ICEYE is the world leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellations, serving defense, intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance, and emergency management sectors globally.
