The Role

At Skyloom, we're building cutting-edge optical communication systems for space. We're looking for an Electrical Engineer with a strong hands-on mindset to help test, debug, and validate electronic assemblies (PCBA and Card Circuit Assembly) across development and production.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working in the lab, solving real hardware problems, and collaborating across disciplines. Experience with complex electronic systems is key, deep aerospace or space background is a plus, but not required.

You'll work closely with hardware, firmware, optical, manufacturing, and test teams to bring advanced electronic systems from prototypes to flight-ready production.

Responsibilities: 

Hardware Test & Debug

• Test and debug PCBAs and electronic subsystems, including multi-board systems.
• Perform functional and performance testing during development, qualification, and production.
• Support hardware bring-up and troubleshooting using lab instrumentation.

Validation & Production Support

• Verify electrical and functional requirements.
• Support design verification and production acceptance testing.
• Help identify root causes of failures and support corrective actions.
• Contribute to test procedures, acceptance criteria, and production documentation.

Interfaces & Signal Integrity

• Test and validate common communication interfaces (Ethernet, SPI, IC, UART, etc.).
• Assist with debugging signal integrity issues in high-speed or mixed-signal designs (e.g., SERDES-based links, LVDS, etc.).

Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, optical, manufacturing and AIT teams.
• Support environmental testing activities (thermal, vibration, etc.) as needed.
• Collaborate with international partners to support system integration and testing.

Requirements: 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3-6 years of relevant experience (flexible depending on skill set).
• Solid foundation in electrical engineering fundamentals (digital, analog, or mixed-signal).
• Hands-on experience testing or debugging electronic hardware.
• Comfort working in a lab environment using standard test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, etc.).
• Experience with PCBAs, prototypes, or production hardware.

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated industries.
• Exposure to optoelectronics, RF, or communication systems.
• Basic scripting or embedded programming (Python, C/C++ or similar languages).
• Interest in growing into more complex system-level testing or aerospace testing roles.
• Lab environment use, such as, power meter and optic spectrum analyzer. 
• Fluency in Spanish with strong written and verbal communication skills.

Compensation 

The approximate base salary range for this position is $110,000 - $115,000. The total compensation package includes base, bonus, equity, and a range of benefit options found on our career site.   
**Benefits will be provided by Skyloom, Inc., an IonQ Company, and will differ from the benefits listed on the IonQ website.**
