Jobs at CesiumAstro

Design and develop board-level RF electronics and phased-array communications systems from concept through testing and in-orbit support. Responsibilities include schematic and PCB layout, simulations, link budgets, part selection, manufacturing support, qualification, and presenting design reviews and proposals.

Design and deliver digital and mixed-signal electronics for space and airborne platforms from concept through schematic, PCB layout, analysis, build, test, and production. Work includes FPGA/microcontroller-based designs, signal and power integrity analysis, bring-up and verification, mentoring juniors, and interfacing with manufacturing, software, mechanical, and customers.

Design, verify, test, and deploy FPGA systems for aerospace communications, implementing high-speed serial interfaces, Layer 2/3 networking (Ethernet, IP, MPLS), multiple clock domains, and performing validation and design reviews for customers.

Lead FPGA architecture, design, verification, and deployment for space systems. Define interfaces, perform implementation and timing closure, test and validate designs, mentor junior engineers, participate in reviews and proposals, and ensure radiation mitigation and space-qualified part selection.

Lead PCB layout and library management for high-frequency RF, power, and digital aerospace electronics. Perform complex Altium layouts (up to 30 GHz), manage component libraries, create/revise release packages, maintain templates, and collaborate with hardware and mechanical engineers to ensure high-reliability designs.

Lead EMI/EMC engineering activities for phased-array communication systems: develop control plans, analyze designs, run and coordinate compliance testing (MIL-STD-461, DO-160, ECSS), use EM simulation tools, troubleshoot issues, document results, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, develop, and maintain automated test software and frameworks for embedded hardware and firmware. Implement unit, integration, HIL, and system tests; interface with hardware protocols; debug across software/firmware/hardware; integrate tests into CI/CD; document results and improve test coverage and reliability.

Lead and scale the company's global import compliance program for aerospace supply chains: develop procedures, ensure HTS classification and tariff mitigation, partner with stakeholders and brokers, support audits, drive duty savings, monitor regulatory changes, and deliver training and continuous improvement.

Lead full lifecycle board-level electronics design for advanced RF/satellite communication systems. Responsibilities include digital/mixed-signal design, FPGA and ADC/DAC integration, PCB/HDI layout, SI/PI simulation, debugging, lab bring-up, mentoring junior engineers, design reviews, and delivering hardware to production.

Lead full-cycle B2B sales for space communications products, developing opportunities, collaborating with engineering and R&D, producing quotes/proposals, negotiating contracts, and supporting customer integration of SDRs and RF systems.

Perform hands-on inspections and metrology of parts, assemblies, and finished high-reliability products. Program and operate CMMs and other automated inspection equipment, execute calibration and MSA, manage nonconformances and corrective actions using root-cause/8D methods, lead continuous improvement and audit resolution, and document inspection and quality activities per AS9100/ISO9001 requirements.

Lead cross-functional quality and continuous improvement initiatives, drive root-cause corrective actions, manage QMS metrics and audits, coach quality personnel, and implement Lean/Six Sigma methodologies to optimize manufacturing processes and ensure AS9100/ISO9001 compliance.

Develop and maintain digital mission models using STK and integrated simulation tools to support multi-discipline design, automate workflows, validate performance, and collaborate with engineering, DevOps, and test teams. Lead tooling interoperability, data pipelines, MBSE practices, and present results at design reviews.

Design, simulate, analyze, and support mechanical hardware for satellite and aerospace electronics from concept through qualification. Perform thermal, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC, and FEA analyses; create CAD models and manufacturing documentation; support testing, qualification (MIL-STD-810, DO-160G), cost analysis, and customer/leadership reviews.

Design, verify, test, and deploy FPGA systems for aerospace platforms. Implement HDL-based high-speed serial interfaces, data processing cores, multi-clock domains, and network protocols (OSI Layers 2/3). Perform validation, present design reviews, and contribute to proposals; collaborate on board-level hardware and system-level requirements.

Design, analyze, and implement RF test plans and reusable test architectures; perform RF measurements and automation; manage lab equipment; collaborate on design-for-test, present results to stakeholders, and support proposals and customer reviews.

Design, verify, test, and deploy FPGA circuits and systems at the HDL level. Collaborate with engineers on FPGA hardware and embedded systems, develop supporting software, and work on DSP/communications-related designs and simulations.

Design, architect, and implement board-level test plans and systems for power, digital, and RF electronics. Develop test automation and data systems (Python/LabVIEW/etc.), execute verification at prototype through acceptance, analyze and present results, advise on design-for-test, and support lab buildout and technician training.

Administer and support Windows and Ubuntu desktops, laptops, servers, and VMs; manage Active Directory, networking, storage, and software licensing; maintain hardware inventory, conferencing A/V, digital signage, and documentation; respond to tickets and recommend infrastructure solutions ensuring federal compliance.

Design and develop various pneumo-hydraulic and electrohydraulic valves; own requirements, system-level integration, and architecture trades; perform CFD and FEA analyses; develop and execute test programs; generate technical documentation and participate in PDR/CDR; collaborate across mechanical, aerospace, and controls teams to deliver flight-ready hardware.
