Join our innovative team at Esper Satellite Imagery, a hyperspectral payload manufacturer dedicated to developing cutting-edge satellite imaging technologies. Our mission is to design and deliver world-class solutions for exploratory mineral mapping, agricultural stress analysis, and beyond.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer to lead the design, validation, and testing of electrical systems and PCBs critical to our hyperspectral payloads. The role focuses on power distribution, computation systems, high-speed digital interfaces, and ensuring reliability under space environment constraints such as radiation, EMI/EMC, and MIL standards.

Responsibilities

• Validate and optimize the electrical architecture of hyperspectral payloads for LEO deployment.
• Design multi-layer PCBs for power distribution, embedded computation, and sensor integration.
• Develop and validate high-speed digital interface boards (PCIe, Ethernet, etc.) ensuring signal integrity and compliance with space qualification standards.
• Implement design-for-radiation-hardening practices, focusing on component selection and circuit topology resilience.
• Conduct EMI/EMC analysis and testing in accordance with MIL-STD and space industry standards.
• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, and software teams to ensure integrated payload functionality.
• Support prototype manufacturing, bring-up, and system validation campaigns including thermal vacuum and vibration testing.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
• Proven experience (3–7 years) in PCB design and electrical system validation for aerospace, defence, or satellite applications.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed interface design: PCIe, Ethernet, LVDS,
• Familiarity with radiation-hardening techniques and standards (e.g., NASA, ESA, MIL-STD).
• Experience with EMI/EMC compliance testing and mitigation strategies.
• Proficiency with industry-standard ECAD tools (e.g., KiCAD, Altium etc).
• Strong understanding of power systems, including DC-DC converters and power distribution architectures.
• Experience with wiring harness design with industry-standard tools (e.g. RapidHarness)

Preferred Skills

• Knowledge of Low Earth Orbit satellite system constraints and reliability considerations.
• Familiarity with thermal, vibration, and outgassing considerations for space hardware.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package. $80k to $100k + Super.
• Collaborative, dynamic, and innovative work environment.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Superannuation.
