Kapta Space develops electrically steerable radar imaging technology for space, with an emphasis on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Earth observation. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
Kapta Space is seeking an accomplished Senior PCB Designer to own the architecture, execution, and quality assurance of printed circuit board layouts supporting our scalable Metasurface electronically-steered array (MESA) hardware for sophisticated spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and advanced defense target-tracking missions. This role blends hands-on technical layout work while following standards, design processes, as part of our small team of PCB designers.
What they're looking for
- Associates or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline (or demonstrated equivalent skills and experience)
- Significant experience of professional PCB layout experience
- Significant experience as a principal-level individual contributor working with multi-disciplinary engineering teams delivering complex spaceborne hardware
- Expert proficiency in Altium Designer and strong command of constraint-driven design
- Understanding of impedance control, differential pair routing, grounding strategies, thermal management, and EMI/EMC mitigation
- Significant experience with DFM/DFA/DFT principles and close collaboration with PCB fabrication and assembly vendors
