Responsibilities

• Participate in electrical requirements, functional, and performance analysis for components, equipment, and system-level considerations (timing, power, etc.).
• Design and develop electrical and control systems for full-motion ground station antennas and related equipment: system configuration, component selection, schematic capture, layout, and integration.
• Design, integrate, and test analog and digital electronics, wiring, harnesses, and connectorization for servo and RF systems.
• Develop, tune, and troubleshoot PID control loops and embedded C applications for motion-control systems.
• Support architecture definition and documentation for electrical and control systems using CAN bus or similar communication protocols.
• Integrate and test brushless DC motors, servo drives, encoders, and other motion-control components.
• Perform system modeling, simulation, testing, data analysis, and root-cause troubleshooting to evaluate and improve performance.
• Collaborate with electrical, controls, software, mechanical, production, and test teams across the product lifecycle.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation: schematics, specifications, test procedures, and related artifacts.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous product and process improvements.
• Review customer requirements and specifications to assess feasibility and propose solutions.
• Plan assigned engineering tasks, communicate technical status, and coordinate across work groups.
• Support field installations, testing, and customer interactions as required (domestic and international travel when needed).
• During onboarding, work on-site with senior engineers to learn systems, observe lab testing, and review documentation.
