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

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.

Own program execution for satellite engineering roadmaps: build schedules, manage dependencies and resources, surface risks, translate roadmaps into release plans, and partner with leadership on prioritization and staffing to ensure on-time delivery of integrated hardware/software systems.

Own execution frameworks translating engineering roadmaps into schedules, milestones, and resource plans for satellite hardware/software programs. Coordinate cross-functional teams, surface risks, propose mitigations, support staffing and bid decisions, and drive on-time delivery of mission-critical systems.

Develop and run automated test frameworks and embedded firmware to validate radar payloads. Build HIL setups, control lab instruments, analyze performance data, and maintain CI pipelines to ensure hardware-software integration and space-readiness.

Lead PCB layout engineer responsible for end-to-end high-speed and mixed-signal PCB physical implementation in Altium. Define stack-ups, impedance and length-matching constraints, reference plane strategies, and partitioning to meet SI/PI and DFM requirements. Collaborate with electrical, firmware, mechanical, and test teams to run reviews, support lab bring-up, and release manufacturable boards for space applications.

Design and validate digital and mixed-signal electronics for radar payloads and satellite platforms, lead prototyping, bring-up, testing, manufacturability, and qualification, collaborate across RF, antenna, mechanical, firmware and systems teams, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, simulate, prototype, and validate spaceborne antennas and arrays (patch, microstrip, phased). Perform full EM analysis (HFSS/CST/ADS), lab and anechoic chamber testing, support integration, flight verification, link budgets, and develop manufacturing/test procedures with cross-functional teams.

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.
