## About the role

With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.

## What they're looking for

- Architect and design high-speed, wideband ADCs and DACs targeting demanding RF and mixed-signal applications
- Lead converter architecture selection and trade studies, balancing bandwidth, sampling rate, resolution/ENOB, linearity, power, area, and implementation risk
- Design supporting wideband analog front-ends, including ADC input networks, track-and-hold/sampling circuits, DAC output stages, references, biasing, clocking, and calibration circuitry
- Develop high-performance circuits in advanced FinFET CMOS technologies and address the unique analog design challenges associated with deeply scaled nodes
- Own designs from concept and behavioral modeling through transistor-level implementation, layout, verification, and silicon characterization
- Develop calibration and correction techniques for impairments and work closely with DSP/systems engineers on mixed-signal algorithms
