EE Hardware Design Engineer

Array Labs is building a constellation of satellites to create the first accurate 3D map of the world. Our formation flying radar satellites offer a revolutionary new approach to Earth observation, delivering unique and unparalleled insights of our planet, and we need the help of an experienced hardware design engineer.

The hardware engineering team at Array Labs is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station electronics, which spans the range of radar, communications, power management and processing subsystems.

As a lead engineer, you will own the design of hardware solutions that will be integrated into satellites and cutting-edge ground infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with our antenna, RF, communications and radar engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world.
