Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card
We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave-frequency radios in space using SDRs.
Work with engineers from SpaceX, Google, Qualcomm, and Planet Labs who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.
Roles we’re hiring for include:
* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant systems or power electronics
* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers
* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores
