Senior Mixed Signals Engineer - RFSoC

Senior Electrical Engineer

Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead design and integration of RF and mixed-signal electronics for mission-critical aerospace and satellite systems. The role focuses on RFSoC-based solutions, high-speed data converters (ADC/DAC), mixed-signal PCB/PCBA design, and FPGA firmware integration to meet stringent performance, reliability and ECSS/avionics standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, design and implementation of mixed-signal and RF systems using RFSoC platforms, and ADC/DACs.
• Develop and review mixed-signal PCB and PCBA designs, including component selection, signal integrity, power distribution, and layout for RF and high-speed digital sections (DDR, PCIe).
• Develop and integrate FPGA firmware and software for RFSoC, using tools such as Vivado, Vitis and PetaLinux where applicable.
• Implement JESD204 interfaces and ensure robust high-speed data paths between converters and FPGAs.
• Collaborate with system engineers, RF engineers and mechanical teams to define requirements, perform trade studies and support system integration for spacecraft, satellite and avionics applications.
• Plan and execute verification, validation and test campaigns, including RF characterization, mixed-signal functional tests and environmental qualification to meet ECSS and mission-critical standards.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, design reviews, test procedures, and compliance artifacts for aerospace certification.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers, review designs, and drive continuous improvement in design practices and tools.
• Engage with suppliers and manufacturing partners to support PCBA fabrication, assembly and test, and resolve production issues.

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; PhD a plus.
• Minimum 5+ years experience in mixed-signal electronics design with a strong emphasis on RF and high-speed digital systems.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with RFSoC platforms and integrating ADCs/DACs in system designs.
• Strong PCB/PCBA design experience for mixed-signal and RF circuits; proficiency with Altium or similar layout tools.
• Experience with FPGA development flows and toolchains (Vivado, Vitis); PetaLinux experience is desirable.
• Practical knowledge of JESD204, DDR, and PCIe interfaces and associated signal integrity practices.
• Solid understanding of RF principles, radiofrequency circuit design and measurements.
• Experience in aerospace, satellite, spacecraft, avionics or other mission-critical systems and familiarity with ECSS standards preferred.
• Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx device families and tool ecosystems.
• Proven debugging, test and validation skills, including RF test equipment and methodologies.
• Strong communication skills, ability to work in cross-functional teams, and prior experience mentoring junior engineers.
