The Modular Interceptor Platform. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the development of high-reliability electronics for our interceptor prototypes and future VLEO satellites. You will own everything from board-level design to power systems, sensor integration, EMI/EMC, and flight hardware integration. Expect to work directly with founders, integrate components, run tests, and ship hardware that flies and intercepts targets.
What they're looking for
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Strong experience with PCB design tools (KiCad, Altium, or similar)
- Hands-on prototyping experience: soldering, rework, bring-up, rapid iteration
- Experience integrating sensors, mixed-signal electronics, or power systems
- Comfort with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and test equipment
- Strong fundamentals in circuit analysis, signal integrity, noise, grounding, and EMI/EMC

If you’re excited by high-stakes engineering, rapid prototyping, and pushing physics boundaries, we are going to get along great!
- Design, simulate, and develop PCBs for sensing, actuation, power, and avionics.
- Own schematic capture, layout, DFM, component selection, and vendor interaction.
- Develop high-reliability power systems (DC–DC, battery systems, protection circuits, transient management).
- Integrate IR cameras, Radar, IMUs, GNSS, rad-hard components, and electromechanical actuators.
- Develop signal-conditioning circuits, sensor fusion interfaces, and low-latency sensing+actuation to enable the autopilot to control the vehicle.
- Perform thermal, vibration, and shock analysis for >100km altitude environments.
- Support hardware qualification: TVAC, vibe,...
