Northwood Space · Torrance, CA
Skills: Python
About Northwood: Northwood is a modern space infrastructure company bringing the benefits of space to the masses through advanced communications technology. We are building a global network of phased array and parabolic ground stations that enable real-time, reliable communication for satellite missions such as national security, global connectivity, and disaster response. With a vertically integrated approach, Northwood designs, builds, and rapidly deploys scalable systems that power the next generation of space missions. If you like solving complex challenges and seeing your work deployed around the world with real impact, Northwood is the place to do it. Role: Northwood is looking for an Electrical Engineer to own the non-RF electronics design for Prism, our 2.4-meter parabolic antenna for high-throughput satellite links. You will design the digital compute, power, embedded, and mixed-signal hardware that sits alongside Prism's RF chain- from block diagram and component selection through schematic, layout, bring-up, and production release. Responsibilities - Own the electrical design of Prism's non-RF electronics: high-speed digital, power electronics, embedded control, and mixed-signal circuits - Architect and design high-density boards built around FPGAs, microcontrollers, high-speed data converters, and their peripherals, including DDR memory, multi-gigabit SerDes, and 10/100G Ethernet - Define clocking architectures: reference selection, clock distribution, jitter budgets, and synchronization across boards and subsystems - Design power trees end to end, from input power and conversion stages to point-of-load regulators, sequencing, monitoring, and protection - Design mixed-signal interfaces between digital and analog/RF domains, including ADC/DAC front ends, control loops, and sensor and telemetry circuits - Drive schematic capture, define PCB stack-ups, and lead layout of complex multilayer boards with a focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EM…
