Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
The Principal Electro-Optical Engineer will participate in all aspects of the development and test of optical communications systems. The ideal candidate has 10 years of experience in optical comms related electrical design including schematic capture, PCB layout, and testing.
This position will work closely with various engineering teams. This role is based in our Toulouse, France office.
What you will be doing
- Develop PCBA requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines
- Design of optical comms related circuits including laser drivers and receivers, power supplies, TIAs, instrumentation, filters, high speed DACs/ADCs, digital processors and interfaces, simulations, etc.
- Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
- Circuit analysis including power, tolerance, and reliability related
- PCBA design verification testing and system integration testing
- Production manufacturing support as needed
