AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade.

Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.

As a Digital Electrical Engineer on the hardware team, you will be responsible for owning the design, manufacture, test and deployment of highly integrated PCBAs used by a large number of space customers. You will work with a small team of software, RF hardware, and FPGA engineers to shepherd the product from initial design to vehicle integration, taking a full-stack approach to building robust space communication systems.

Responsibilities

• Design high-speed digital hardware including processors, FPGAs, memory, interfaces, and supporting circuitry

• Perform trades and analyses of board architecture and component selection

• Schematic capture and layout of space-grade PCBs

• Bring-up and testing of new designs

• Partner with RF engineers, software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing teams and production test teams to drive designs end-to-end

• Work with mechanical engineers to ensure proper thermal dissipation of devices

• Work with supply chain counterparts to enable rapid manufacture and iteration of components

• Design for performance under space-grade acceptance, qualification, and compliance requirements

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline

• 3+ years of professional experience designing high-speed digital circuitry

• Proven experience designing boards using EDA tools such as Altium Designer

• Experience designing and debugging Xilinx RFSoC / MPSoC-based systems or equivalent platforms

• Experience debugging SoCs across the bootup stack (baremetal/bootloader/linux)

• Experience in modeling, simulation, and testing of digital and power electronics

• Familiar with failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMEA)

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components

• Deep understanding with configuration and interfacing of memory, volatile and nonvolatile

• Experience designing power trees with complex sequencing requirements

• Working experience in voltage and current mode control and compensation design

• Strong grasp of DC-DC topologies, with ability to select optimal architectures and components

• Familiarity with power supply testing and packaging for harsh environments

• Experience selecting and monitoring components capable of performing in a radiation environment
