## About the role

Join a team doing what’s rarely done: blending the rigor of aerospace with the speed and scale of mass production. In this role, you’ll have end-to-end ownership of the hardware that powers Planet’s satellites. You will design, optimize, and validate the critical electrical, data, and embedded systems that are the brains of our spacecraft. This includes pushing your PCBAs to their limits in testing to ensure they are ready for the harsh environment of space. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- 2+ years experience in taking designs from schematics to manufacturing
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace, or a related field
- Experience with power converter, analog, and mixed signal PCB design
- Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters
- Proficient solder rework skills
- Comfortable with embedded systems and peripheral interfaces (e.g, I2C, SPI, USB, CAN, Ethernet, etc)
