Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Develop and productionize photogrammetry and radar image-formation pipelines for large-scale 3D reconstruction. Improve pipeline stages (bundle adjustment, dense matching, point clouds, geo-referencing), optimize storage and databases for 3D geospatial data, and contribute to data infrastructure, analytics, and delivery systems for satellite-derived products.

Design and validate RF electronics for radar sensors, including low-noise receive chains, high-power transmit chains, switching/protection, timing-critical subsystems. Lead schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, characterization, qualification, and cross-disciplinary integration. Perform design trade studies, testing, iteration, and mentor other engineers.

Develop and automate RF and high-speed test infrastructure to validate radar payloads and satellite electronics. Design fixtures and calibration methods, characterize RF components, execute environmental and functional testing, debug subsystems, and support flight-readiness and calibration stability.

Design and validate mixed-signal and digital spacecraft electronics including high-speed interfaces, power regulation, timing, telemetry, and fault-tolerant avionics. Lead prototyping, bring-up, testing, manufacturing, and iterative improvements while collaborating across RF, mechanical, firmware, and systems teams and mentoring junior engineers.

Lead high-speed and mixed-signal PCB layout in Altium from placement through manufacturing release. Define stack-ups, impedance targets, length-matching, return-path strategies, and DFM/DFT. Collaborate with electrical, firmware, mechanical, and test teams to meet SI/PI requirements, de-risk first-pass success, and support lab bring-up and manufacturing.

Develop automation, mission-planning, and scheduling software for coordinated radar satellite fleets. Implement GNC controllers, orbit determination algorithms, and models for propulsion, power, timing, and tracking. Integrate asynchronous data streams, CI/CD, containerized deployments, and cloud services to optimize imaging schedules and upload operational decisions.

Own execution framework for satellite programs: build schedules, manage dependencies and resources, surface risks, translate engineering roadmaps into release plans, coordinate cross-functional teams, and support prioritization, staffing, and bid decisions to ensure on-time delivery of hardware and software.

Lead product vision and roadmap for 3D geospatial data products from optical and radar imagery. Define requirements (resolution, accuracy, latency, formats), prioritize algorithms, pipelines, APIs, and delivery; collaborate across engineering, algorithms, operations, GTM, and customers; track product metrics and maintain product documentation.

Design, prototype, and validate RF electronics for radar satellites including receive/transmit chains, switching, filtering, and protection. Lead subsystem definition, trade studies, component selection, bring-up, characterization, environmental qualification, and mentor other engineers while collaborating across antenna, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and test teams.

Design, implement, and maintain scalable distributed systems and storage for petabyte-scale 3D geospatial data. Build high-performance APIs, data ingestion and processing pipelines, monitoring/operational tooling, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and drive the backend roadmap.
