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

Design, prototype, validate, and qualify mixed-signal and digital electronics for radar payloads and satellite avionics. Own architecture, component selection, schematics, PCB design, bring-up, debugging, test campaigns, and manufacturing coordination. Collaborate with RF, antenna, mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to iterate designs for performance, power efficiency, EMI/EMC, and on-orbit reliability.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
