About the role
Build the hardware, automation, and measurement systems that let us understand how electronics behave under radiation. You will own reusable radiation test infrastructure, from circuit design and bench checkout through test execution and reproducible results. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Hands-on experience testing electronic hardware under radiation, with an understanding of single-event effects and total ionizing dose
- Experience designing, bringing up, and debugging PCB-based test hardware, including bias circuits, component interfaces, and electrical measurements
- Ability to develop maintainable test automation and data-analysis software in Python or a comparable language
- Practical experience with instruments such as source measure units, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and data-acquisition systems
- Careful measurement and documentation habits: checking calibration and setup behavior, preserving raw data, investigating anomalies, and explaining the limits of a result
More about this role
Mission
Cowboy Space Corporation is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient space-based solar energy. We are tackling one of humanity’s most complex engineering challenges with a world-class team dedicated to delivering a revolutionary power platform. Cowboy Space Corporation is transforming how civilization powers, computes and connects - from orbit to Earth.
Background
Cowboy Space Corporation is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our modular, scalable satellites collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit to enable multiple integrated applications: transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit high-performance computing clusters (GPU/TPU), and providing secure, high bandwidth optical data transport.
Current energy and data systems rely on complex logistics and outdated infrastructure. Cowboy Space Corporation overcomes these challenges by enabling direct, on-demand, secure, and scalable energy distribution and data processing from space. This will revolutionize how we operate in orbit and on Earth, supporting the rapidly expanding space industrial base,...
