Greenlight Professional Services (GPS)
Location: Pittsburgh
Closing Date: 21/06/2026
Hours: Full Time
Type: Permanent
Job Description
Canonsburg, PA (ON-SITE) ONLY
6 months+
Hourly rate is open
2 phone interviews
Lead Electrical Engineer
microelectronics/ microelectronics layout experience
Electrical Engineer (Space Design Experience)
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking versatile Electrical Engineers that can apply their skills and experience to a wide array of design challenges and produce results that enhance the companys product offerings. Successful applicants will work to develop tangible technical solutions in both the space and ground segment domains in response to customer requests.
PRIMARY DUTIES
Hardware development and production of Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave products, EM-based spectroscopy, signature assessment and communications systems.
Perform hardware detailed design, analysis & test activities to develop hardware from inception through entire process from proposal to production and transition into the field.
Board-level design of state-of-the-art RF, digital, analog and mixed signal designs to include robust EMC and thermal design characteristics.
Design of interfaces to spacecraft busses
Designs must meet the rigors of space and be able to function in a space-based environments
Design and integrate electronics hardware, including computing, signal conditioning, sensing and control electronics, filtering, data acquisition, and common digital interfaces
Experience designing electric circuits hardware to meet space requirements
Construct new hardware to support new features of our product suite
Coordinate with team for design reviews, schematic reviews, and layout review. These designs will be radiation hardened and targeted to a Space environment.
Analyze functional (power, thermal analysis, FMEA) and physical design (PCB layout, design for EMC) to assure development of complete integrated design
Manage design of power supplies and monitor power distribution
SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS
Demonstrated knowledge and hands-on experience in the development, build and test of Space-based electronics and hardware, across full product development lifecycle, including production
Design experience to withstand radiation environment, electromagnetic environment effects and temperature extremes typical in space environments.
Experience with spacecraft and subsystem environments including radiation, thermal, EMI/EMC, and understanding of electromagnetic environment effects and temperature extremes typical in space environments.
Knowledge and experience with embedded systems programming (microprocessor, FPGA, and CPLD)
Experience with Space Payloads
Experience in micro-controller and FPGA-based designs
Experience in RF/Digital systems design
Knowledge of analog/digital circuit design
Experience with spacecraft and spacecraft subsystem fabrication, assembly, and test; understanding of qualification, acceptance, and proto-flight verification approaches
Experience with electronic testing and troubleshooting
ADDITIONAL DESIRED SKILLS
Programming experience in any of: Git, C#, C++, VHDL, Visual Studio, Vivado, FPGA, MATLAB/Octave, Python, Autodesk Inventor, CAD
Radio Frequency (RF), microwave or millimeter wave spectroscopy experience
VHDL
Working on small boards for satellites
Day to Day Goals/Targets
Design and Development of Xilinx Zinq SoC using syntax VHDL and Verilog for space application.
The main signal chain is fed input as differential (P & N) output from a high speed ADC IC. The 32b ADC output is then input into a FIFO before the first filter CIC Filter Stage including FFT front end. The CIC output is then input into another FIFO stack before being input into the IIR Filter which in turn outputs 32b I and Q data before sending the IIR Filter results to the final Polyphase Filter.
The main syntax used is VHDL with about 25% being in Verilog targeting Xilinx Zinq M700 series of SoC/FPGA. The initial design was focused on getting the functions working to their performance specifications. This involved modifying the VHDL and Verilog in the Signal Chain, then simulation using Vivado built in simulator. Matlab was used to generate the initial FFT, CIC, IIR and Polyphase IP Cores after modeling the filters and FFT functions in Matlab.
