Array Labs is building a constellation of satellites to create the first accurate 3D map of the world. Our formation flying radar satellites offer a revolutionary new approach to Earth observation, delivering unique and unparalleled insights of our planet, and we need the help of an experienced hardware test engineer. The hardware engineering team at Array Labs is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground‑station electronics, which spans the range of radar, communications, power management and processing subsystems. As a test engineer, you will own the test and validation of hardware solutions that will be integrated into satellites and cutting‑edge ground infrastructure. You will work cross‑functionally with our antenna, RF, communications, electrical, and radar engineers to rapidly bring up, qualify, and test components and systems from clean‑sheet designs to full operational deployment in space. You will be instrumental in producing trusted hardware, software, and automation to help build, test, and fly next‑imaging technology. In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation‑flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum‑leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever‑changing world.
