Electronics Hardware Design Engineer (Avionics)
Company Description Cosmoserve Space is dedicated to building a cleaner and more sustainable future for space exploration through advanced active debris removal technologies. The company focuses on high-tech, cost-effective solutions that address the growing challenge of space debris and help safeguard the orbital environment. With a passionate team of specialists and a strong emphasis on cutting-edge engineering, Cosmoserve Space is shaping the next generation of responsible space operations. Team members have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, mission-driven work that ensures space remains accessible for future missions.
Domain: Spacecraft / Satellite Avionics
Experience: 2+ years (minimum) in satellite / spacecraft hardware
Role Summary
Design, develop, and validate avionics PCBs and custom interface cards for satellite systems, with end-to-end ownership across power, digital interfaces, and FPGA-based subsystems. The role spans schematic design through reliable board bring-up and test, working closely with firmware and systems teams in a space-grade reliability environment.
Responsibilities
• Design schematics and drive PCB layout coordination (Altium / KiCad) for satellite avionics boards
• Design custom interface cards: requirement capture, architecture definition, connector / pinout design, signal integrity, and integration with host avionics
• FPGA hardware design: device selection, power sequencing, I/O planning, configuration / boot interfaces, and supporting FPGA bring-up alongside the firmware / RTL team
• Power design: DC-DC selection, protection circuits, filtering, and rail bring-up
• Interface design: UART / CAN / RS-422 / 485, sensor I/O, isolation and level shifting
• Board bring-up: rail validation, ripple / noise characterization, current profiling, and FPGA configuration verification
• Debug hardware issues at board and system level; coordinate closely with the firmware team on FPGA and embedded integration
• Own BOM, test checklists, and design revision management
• Apply space-domain reliability practices: derating, part selection rationale, and design margining
Must-Have
• 2+ years of electronics hardware design experience in the satellite / spacecraft domain
• Strong electronics fundamentals (analog / digital + power)
• Proven experience designing custom interface cards (concept through validated hardware)
• FPGA hardware design experience: power and clocking architecture, configuration / JTAG interfaces, high-speed I/O considerations, and FPGA board bring-up
• PCB design workflow experience (schematic + layout coordination)
• Hands-on debugging with DMM, oscilloscope, and electronic loads
• Strong component selection and datasheet confidence
• Motor / actuator driver experience
• EMI / ESD design awareness
• Harnessing / connectors and ruggedization for prototype systems
• Exposure to space-grade / rad-tolerant component selection and qualification
• Familiarity with high-speed digital design (DDR, LVDS, SerDes) supporting FPGA interfaces
