Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design and own physical layout of high-density, high-layer-count PCBs (high-speed digital, RF, mixed-signal, power). Define stackups, placements, high-speed constraints, ECAD libraries, and generate fabrication/assembly documentation. Collaborate with electrical, RF, antenna, and production teams; engage vendors to resolve EQs; maintain design standards and automation for manufacturability, testability, and reliability.

Operate and own components of the infrastructure stack (CI/CD, cloud/IaC, app platform, networking, observability, security). Build and maintain IaC (Terraform, Helm), automate toil, carry on-call and resolve incidents, run post-incident reviews, implement security/compliance controls with partners, and produce runbooks and design documentation. Collaborate across infra, product, and operations.

Translate customer and network requirements into product-level system architectures for phased-array ground stations. Define RF and system parameters, run simulations and link budgets, partner with business development, and align engineering on execution-ready product definitions and roadmaps.

Senior individual contributor owning design, implementation, and operation of infrastructure systems. Drive technical direction, write RFCs, lead on-call escalations and post-incident reviews, mentor engineers, eliminate systemic toil, and partner with security, compliance, product, and ops to deliver scalable, deployable ground-station infrastructure.

Lead and shape Northwood’s visual identity and creative output. Art direct investor, customer, recruiting, and web materials; translate complex technical systems into clear visuals; direct photo, video, and agency production; build scalable visual systems; partner with communications and leadership; maintain high creative standards across all touchpoints.

Lead global market entry efforts by securing licenses, approvals, and partnerships for Northwood's ground infrastructure. Engage regulators, policymakers, and partners; manage compliance submissions; assess regulatory and geopolitical risk; coordinate cross-functional teams and travel to execute market-access strategies.

Lead end-to-end development of Northwood antenna systems from architecture through design, integration, manufacturing, and field deployment. Translate mission needs into requirements, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage schedules and risks, run trade studies, drive prototyping, integration, testing, and production-readiness, and contribute hands-on within a primary engineering discipline.

Lead capture and proposal strategy for government, international, and commercial space opportunities. Translate technical mission requirements into win themes, author RFIs/RFPs/white papers, manage cross-functional proposal development, maintain reusable proposal content and playbooks, and drive timelines to submission.

Lead design and implementation of cloud-based backend systems for global antenna scheduling, customer-facing APIs, billing/metering, and orchestration. Build reliable, scalable control and data planes across cloud and on-prem, collaborate with customers and operations, and enable secure TT&C and payload data transfer.

Design, build, and characterize RF electronics (LNAs, filters, PAs). Create electromagnetic simulation models, collaborate across disciplines, and iterate hardware for reliability, performance, and manufacturability. Troubleshoot integrated RF system performance.
