Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.
We’re launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth - updated in real time - enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world’s most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they’re needed most.
About the Job
As a Staff Power Electronics Engineer, you will design and validate the power conversion and power management electronics that enable Array’s radar sensors and satellite platforms. Your work will include high-efficiency DC/DC conversion, power distribution, sequencing, monitoring and telemetry, protection and fault handling, and the power interfaces that support high-power RF operation.
You will take hardware from schematic design through prototyping, bring-up, characterization, and qualification, working closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers. The power electronics you develop will directly impact system efficiency, thermal performance, reliability, and on-orbit availability.
Responsibilities
- Develop advanced power electronics subsystems, from architecture to manufacturing
- Own power subsystem definition and design trade studies, balancing efficiency, transient performance, thermal behavior, and fault tolerance
- Select components, capture schematics, and design complex power assemblies including DC/DC conversion, sequencing, protection, and monitoring
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, characterization, qualification, and test efforts for power electronics
- Work closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver reliable radar sensor and spacecraft power systems
Basic Qualifications
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of relevant experience
- Experience in electronics design, bring-up, and test
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Master’s degree or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, power electronics, or a related field
- Hands-on experience designing high-efficiency power conversion systems including synchronous buck/boost, isolated converters, and multi-rail power architectures
Compensation & Benefits
Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: find uncommonly good people and pay them uncommonly well.
We offer high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation. Final candidates can choose from three compensation mixes: low, medium, or high equity. Equity is a significant component of total compensation, and we aim to provide meaningful ownership for this role.
Full-time employees also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) plan with company match, commuter benefits, and more.
Interview Process
We will conduct interviews via Google Meet with the potential for an onsite visit; the typical process takes around 3-5 weeks to complete from start to finish.
Why Join Array Labs?
Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high-resolution, real-time, three-dimensional model of Earth. Our next-generation satellite technology will offer image quality 60x greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.
In forging an affordable, accessible, accurate representation of Earth, our work has the potential to transform the face of dozens of fields, including autonomy, telecommunications, disaster relief, gaming, climate science, defense and construction.
