Electrical Engineer - RF Electronics

Join to apply for the Electrical Engineer - RF Electronics role at Logos Space

Logos Space is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system purpose-built to serve the connectivity needs of the commercial enterprise users and government users. We will help fill an important gap in the market, providing resilient, high-performance satellite-based connectivity services to enterprise and government customers worldwide. Business customers have contracts with agreed-upon performance standards for their broadband, and Logos will build these capabilities into the system from the beginning.

Speed and reliability are the foundation of the system. Logos is designed to extend cloud and data center network connectivity anywhere in the world to fixed, seaborne, and airborne terminals.

The electrical engineering team at Logos Space works on the design, development, flight validation, assembly, integration, test, and inflight success of the logos fleet of spacecraft. Electrical engineering is responsible for ensuring that flight avionics on the logos bus and payload are fully validated ensuring the success of our network via analysis and test. The development of suitable facilities and the required ground support equipment also falls within the purview of the electrical engineering team.

Electrical engineers will support hardware design activities from the idea stage to flight.

You should be prepared to work and thrive in a fast moving environment where you are comfortable taking vague design ideas and turning them into tangible hardware ready for test and flight. We are seeking engineers who love to solve hard problems.

• Responsible for the overall electrical design, analysis, and validation of RF payload hardware, including antennas, amplifiers, filters, mixers, and frequency converters.
• Assess power/signal integrities across multiple RF circuit topologies.
• Perform nominal and worst case analysis scenarios across applicable phases of hardware development.
• Own product delivery timeline through entire lifecycle (design, development, prototyping, production build, system integration, and on-orbit operations).
• Develop and execute RF test plans for component, subsystem, and system-level validation.
• Analyze and mitigate EMI/EMC issues specific to RF payload systems.
• Generate and release technical drawings, specifications, test procedures, and reports in support of the RF payload design and validation.
• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, and software engineers to ensure successful integration of RF payload hardware into the spacecraft.
