The company is seeking to develop and deploy a first-of-its-kind quantum gravity gradient (QGG) sensor on a dedicated satellite, requiring expertise in embedded system firmware and software for control systems design, build, integration, test, and qualification in space, terrestrial, and lab-based environments.
Requirements
- Embedded system firmware development in Rust. If you have relevant expertise but with C/C++, you may still be successful in this role if you have interest in Rust and have some idea of how Rust can be used to rapidly develop safe and performant systems
- FPGA development, specifically with Xilinx FPGAs, along with experience creating testbenches and verifying complex designs.
- Experience with Microblaze processors, or high-level synthesis/testing languages like SpinalHDL or cocotb is a plus.
- Proficient in MS Office
- Experience with space-deployed systems and the associated challenging vibration, thermal, and radiation environment
- Experience with Contract Electronic Manufacturing
- Experience mentoring and managing more junior engineers
Responsibilities
- Execute engineering projects and deliver them on time and budget
- Collaborate with engineers, physicists, and technicians to troubleshoot and debug existing circuit boards and control systems in use
- Perform quality and performance analysis on new and legacy electrical systems
- Work with other engineering disciplines on electrical, mechanical, and thermal interface requirements and design
- Summarize data and report on test results
- Provide estimates of resources needed to deliver successful projects on schedule and budget.
- Manage and mentor peers and more junior team members to ensure project success
Other
- Up to 10% local travel may be required.
- Good verbal and written communication skills, able to effectively share information with technical and non-technical staff
- Good collaboration skills, able to work in a team environment where engagement and participation are an expected part of successful job performance
