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 Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
We are looking for a Lead Engineer to own the RF and electrical hardware of the antenna — from the radiating elements through the array and the element-level electronics — and to lead the team that designs, builds, and tests it. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who wants both deep RF/antenna ownership and the opportunity to grow a high-performing team.
On-site in California or Texas. Some travel between sites may be required.
What you will do:
-
Own radiating-element RF design — element geometry, impedance and match, polarization, and bandwidth across a wide operating band.
-
Own array layout and dimensioning, and array-level RF performance — gain, pattern, and sensitivity to surface accuracy.
-
Hold the subsystem's RF and electrical requirements, budgets, and verification, and close them through analysis and test.
-
Partner with adjacent communications, avionics, mechanical/structures, and integration & test teams across the program.
What you bring to this role:
Bonus Points:
-
Space or flight RF hardware experience, including environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation, EMC).
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $180000 - $220,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
