Job description

Radiation Effects Engineer

Astranis builds advanced satellites for high orbits, expanding humanity's reach into the solar system. Today, Astranis satellites provide dedicated, secure networks to highly-sophisticated customers across the globe— large enterprises, sovereign governments, and the US military. With five satellites on orbit and many more set to launch soon, the company is servicing a backlog of more than $1 billion of commercial contracts. Astranis is the preferred satellite communications partner for buyers with stringent requirements for uptime, data security, network visibility, and customization. Astranis has raised over $750 million from some of the world's best investors, from Andreessen Horowitz to Blackrock and Fidelity, and employs a team of 450 engineers and entrepreneurs. Astranis designs, builds, and operates its satellites out of its 153,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Northern California, USA.

Role
  • Support the electrical architecture and design of fault-tolerant systems optimized for radiation environments
  • Actively participate in core electrical design, schematic capture, PCB layout reviews, hardware bring-up, and laboratory testing
  • Coordinate and execute electrical radiation testing campaigns to upscreen COTS and automotive-grade components
  • Develop fault-tolerant systems & operations into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team
  • Assist in recruiting and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team
Requirements
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), or a related technical field (Physics, Nuclear Engineering) with a focus on electronics
  • A passion for hardware development, including hands-on electrical circuit design, prototyping, and troubleshooting in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong foundation in electrical design principles, including component selection, power distribution, and signal integrity
  • Direct experience analyzing, designing, and testing electronic circuits for radiation effects
  • Experience in testing and debugging complex analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.)
  • Experience engineering fault-tolerant, high-reliability electrical hardware architectures
  • US Citizenship or Green Card
Bonus
  • Experience testing electrical designs for space or high-radiation environments
  • Advanced understanding of semiconductor physics and radiation interactions
  • Experience configuring electrical test setups and running measurement campaigns at radiation test facilities
  • Proficiency with ECAD tools for schematic capture and PCB layout (e.g., Altium Designer) and familiarity with MCAD (Solidworks)

What we offer: All our positions offer a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits. Base pay is just one component of Astranis's total rewards package. Your compensation also includes a significant equity package via incentive stock options, high-quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance, 401(k) retirement planning, flexible PTO, and free on-site catered meals.
