Job Overview:
Harpy Aerospace is seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented PCB Design Engineer to join our Satellite Systems team. You will be responsible for the design, layout, and documentation of high-reliability printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in spaceborne platforms, including CubeSats, microsatellites, and custom payload electronics.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design multi-layer PCBs (up to 10+ layers) for satellite subsystems such as:
- Power distribution boards (EPS)
- Onboard computers (OBC)
- ADCS sensor boards
- Payload interface and control boards
- Work with aerospace-grade components (radiation-tolerant, ITAR-free, MIL-spec)
- Perform impedance matching, signal integrity analysis, and grounding strategies
- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal teams to ensure board fit, routing, and thermal compatibility
- Generate schematics, BoMs, Gerber files, and manufacturing documentation
- Support in board bring-up, test jig development, and functional testing
- Ensure compliance with aerospace standards (ECSS, IPC-6012/6013, MIL-PRF-31032)
- Optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), and testability (DFT)
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in PCB design for high-reliability embedded systems
- Proficiency in tools such as KiCad, OrCAD or Eagle
- Experience with high-speed routing (LVDS, Ethernet, DDR), EMI/EMC compliance
- Solid understanding of aerospace component selection and derating practices
- Familiarity with signal/power integrity simulation tools (e.g., HyperLynx, ADS)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with space-grade hardware (CubeSat or satellite bus subsystems)
- Knowledge of ECSS or IPC Class 3 / Class 3A requirements
- Experience in vibration and thermal design constraints for launch environment
- Exposure to RF layout techniques (UHF, S-Band)
What We Offer:
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge space missions
- Collaborative and interdisciplinary R&D; environment
- Access to hardware-in-the-loop and cleanroom facilities
- Growth in India’s evolving NewSpace ecosystem
- Send your resume, portfolio of PCB designs (if available), and cover letter to
